I've been watching a bit of deinterlaced 60 fps porn lately, and I'm kind of floored by the fluidity and crispness of the action. It definitely draws you in more. Porn is admittedly a non-cinematic type of motion picture; it lends itself well to these higher framerates. For example, in Chloe B & Angie's tribbing romp, there is a lot of artifacts and blurriness that could be avoided by shooting at higher frame rates. This can also be seen when the models masturbate furiously. The 25 fps of PAL simply can't keep up with the rapid rubbing.
I understand there is a resistance to higher frame rates in Hollywood, as 24 fps film has a certain aesthetic that is "lost" when shooting at NTSC's 30 fps. But big time directors like James Cameron are now starting to lead the call for a push to 48 fps that are more or less backwards compatible with cinematic film, while being much smoother and easier on the eyes.
I guess the big hurdles would be the increased cost and larger file sizes needed to shoot twice the video information. Do you guys ever see yourselves moving to higher framerates? It seems like more and more people are noticing the fluidity and looking to it as the future.
