Stuff About Framerates.

Remember Jared's presentation on the Hobbit and how they chose to film it in 48fps vs 24fps?  This is related to that.  Actually, it references that exactly.

"24fps looks just artsy and unrealistic enough to remind ourselves that we are watching a movie." 
The framerate a person's eye can actually perceive, however, varies based on a number of factors including distance from stimuli, size of stimuli and its luminescence (brightness).  It seems generally the ideal framerate is around 60fps, where the eye's ability to perceive generally drops off.  Luckily that happens to be the display rate standard for most LCD televisions and monitors.
