Sorry mate. I could have sworn that first bit was not there when I read your post :)

Missed the Miami Vice film all together but an example of a potentially good film turned bad was "Apocalypto." 360 degree shutter ruins it for me. Are there any 360 degree shutter films visually appealing? Gotta love Dr. Who but that's a 25fps vs 24fps issue I believe.

Im far from worried Ketch, Peter jackson isnt a mug... he has some very good people working with him. (quite a few friends of mine as well)
Even they are not so thrilled about the look of it at 48fps. im sure they are going to do something to make it feel right.

Remember when Michael MANN did Miami Vice on the SonyHDCAM with the 360 degree shutter... Had to be the worst film I watched that year. I liked the content (huge Michael Mann fan) , but the smooth video look killed it for me.

48fps is lame. i don't like it. for all i know, this is just me showing my age, and the kids will flock to it and it will become the new norm. but i don't like it. digital has come a long way in achieving that 'film look' but without the grain, etc. i think this is a step backwards. all i can think of is seeing the ARRI projection of film shot and projected at 48fps two years ago at Cinegear, and how much i hated the look of it.

Important to note that the big names (Jackson, Cameron) are shooting these rates because of 3D.

I wonder what Jackson would shoot at if he makes another 2D film.
