The “Magic” of frames…
My previous post (120hz Television Smoothing MUST DIE!!!) discussed my own (and many people’s as it turns out) distaste for the “smoothing” effect used to add previously non-existing frames to 24fps film on newer televisions.
This makes its motion move more like videotape frame rates… and actually beyond…
Above, FRAME 001 and FRAME 002 are real whole film frames from, BATMAN: The Dark Knight.
FRAME 001.5 is a “manufactured in-between” frame (created from a composite of FRAME 001 and FRAME 002).
This mock-up simulates the process of inventing “in-between” frames which can be done by your 120hz television with “smoothing” ON (by default or just stuck ON).
Yes, I recognize that as technology, it is as impressive as an unlicensed nuclear accelerator …
…but to look at it while watching a movie though? I still say this ”trick” is TOAST…

120hz Television “Smoothing” MUST DIE!!!!
For almost 20 years, filmmakers have been trying to make electronic image recording (non- film) actually LOOK like film. Sure, there were ways to add grain or splotchy imperfections or gamma shifts to create a so so aesthetic of what was film-ish… but it was the motion or frame rate of video capturing that killed the actual “look”…
