How do you show altering frame rates on a standard theater projector?
James Cameron has found himself working at the center of a technological revolution. His new project Avatar: The Way of Water was shot on cameras that he helped invent and edited with technology that he pioneered, and now he is pushing the boundaries of high frame rates.
Although Cameron told IndieWire that he wasn’t a fan of high frame rates back in 2019, the director had to use the format as a solution for specific shots in the film that rely on 3D projection.
While Avatar: The Way of Water has some scenes shot with a high frame rate, the dialogue scenes will have a standard frame rate of 24fps. The problem is that most theater projectors cannot handle showing two frame rates, let alone higher frame rates.
