High frame rate and the resolution revolution.

Today we talked about high frame rate and resolution. On rolls of film, there are those squares; Frame rate is the amount of those that pass through a projector per second. The standard was usually amount 24 frames per second. Probably the most amazing thing I learned today was that with high frame rate is that every second that goes by, 24 frames go by in the screen. But what's amazing is that now they can feed up to 120 frames per second! Older movies had a 24 frame per rate and that's why they look grainy. But movies showed in theaters nowadays using 48, 60, and especially 120 fpr have a smoother and more detailed films. RESOLUTION REVOLUTION!!!!

Basically what resolution is... Is the amount of pixels across a screen. So your phones, TVs, computers etc all have pixels. In movie theaters they refer to resolution as 2k or 4k. 2k(2000 pixels) = 2048 x 1080, which most digital projectors are used to. 4k(4000 pixels) = 4096 x 2160. 4k is the latest and greatest right now in digital cinema because it has more pixel thus a  much cleaner and sharper image. 4k is also great for 3D movies, but I'll right more about that tomorrow.
