After coercing the entire world of cinema to bow down and worship the art of 3D, it looks as if James Cameron will soon be spearheading the effort to back away from the tried-and-true 24fps shooting method in favor of far faster options. The Hollywood Reporter is claiming that Cameron copped to the idea of shooting Avatar 2 and 3 at higher frame rates, likely 48fps or 60fps. The reason? It’ll provide an “added sense of reality,” and it’ll probably create a wave of new camcorders, software and plug-ins to handle the dirty work. Onward and upward, we suppose.
