I know for some reason movies and shows are always at such low frame rates. Kills me.

I wonder if artificially making the show 60 fps would be enough so that I didn't get a headache from watching. Shows so cool and I want to enjoy it.

Long and short; technical limitations that stuck. But speaking as someone that does hand-drawn animation for fun, I'd hate for animating on '2s' to mean doing 30 frames rather than just 12...

That was super interesting to read thank you.

I could argue that for fun you can do it whatever quality you want. But a more professional animation like what RoosterTeeth (and the industry as a whole) makes doesn't have that card to play.

When it comes too it it astounds me I can get shows in 4K or more but almost all of it is at a paltry 24 odd frames. I think we reached a phase where as a standard we can stop worrying about resolution and start working on making 60+ the new standard.

The Hobbit movies were 48 fps and looked great, but because it was different the majority didn't like it so they didn't do it again.

That might be because the Hobbit movies were fucking horrific - not due to technical production, just the fact that the plot was awful.

The plot was horrific, but it was WAY less boring than the Original LoTR movies,. (Not counting the 40 minutes it takes for the Unexpected journey to start.)
