the few example I saw with that smoothvideo project weren't really smooth
most of the anime are using 24fps which is fine in itself
but to reduce the cost some, to not say a lot of companies, double the same images so it's really just 12fps with 2 frames before the next movement
it works really well for anime with a lot (if not completely) of 3D cgi
not really the kind of anime I like then
few exceptions for masamune shirow's works like appleseed movies
I don't mind it
I do like Polygon Pictures
Although their Ajin cgi was occasionally pretty poor
oh, it's not just about the CGI but yeah
that's a really good example of 2 frames animations I was talking about earlier
it reduce the render time and thus, the cost of the anime
hence the pretty poor FPS of those animes
the animation is sluggish at best on those anime
yeah they sometimes cut down character animation to 8fps
in s2 it mostly disappeared
lol >.> damn
that's 3 frames animations
but it was the stiffest thing I had seen in a while
3times the same image, then a new one 3 times, etc
it works for close to static scenes and it should be limited to that imho
if they can pull it off with 3 times less job, I guess we gonna see 6fps animations soon...
No pls
I was thinking of rewatching both seasons of sidonia and didn't want to suffer through s1 poor frame rate
So started using svp
yeah well, okay for those kind of cheap stuff
and for cheap shounen and the likes
but SVP for a decent grade anime / movie / live action stuff is making it worse
funny thing is "SVP" is a really common acronym in french for a formal way of saying "please" (S'il vous plait)
there's a lot of 60fps youtube videos using svp and it shows a lot of jolt and blur on decently animated stuff
It doesn't work too well with traditionally animated stuff because that's already intended to look smooth
I think it helps more with situations where it's choppy
yeah I guess
but there's really no need for 60fps anyway
I would guess that you could double or triple the framerates with interpolation depending of the original content and reduce it afterward to 24fps
like runs it at 3 times speed and slow it down by 3 with interpolation or something to keep it smooth
I could interpolate to 24 and it would fix most of the issues, since it's the drops to 8 that are the problem
well the thing is that it's already 24fps
but with triple copy of the same frames
they can't really diffuse, sell etc, variable FPS or 8FPS shows on TV / DVD / BDiscs
