Ang Lee Discusses the 120fps Experience
“At 120 frames per second your eyes get greedy,” said Hollywood film director Ang Lee at the first European showing of footage from his latest film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. There were other firsts, as the movie was screened at 120fps, in 4K 3D, at 28 foot-lamberts per eye brightness. The presentation was the keynote at this year’s IBC Big Screen Experience. Long-standing show director Julian Pinn opened the session promising, “I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say this is cinema history in the making.” Pinn added that the clips would be shown on the Christie Mirage, calling it the only projector capable of showing 120fps, 3D, 4K at 28 foot-lamberts.
