I have been a projectionist for 34 years and have seen a lot of film systems (not MaxiVixion48). Higher frame rates yield better picture fidelity: facial blemishes are more pronoounced, round objects look rounder, etc.
I am currently working on a 48 fps system that fits into the current architecture of motion picture exhibition with a minimal of cost and downtime impact on the theater. No $10,000 projector head, no BS about changing between the standard 24 fps and 48 fps. Change should take no more than 5 minutes using the equipment already; in place.
Developing this process is tedious since I am using my own funds to finance the project, which means work gets done based on personal finances. Someday in the near future, 'though.....
Cool. But what about the added costs to the movie production?
Why not 60 fps? It's not a nice multiple of two, but it allows easier telecine to 720p.
