Peter Jackson to shoot The Hobbit with new film technology
14th April 2011
Although ‘film’ is something of a misnomer.
The prequel to the blockbuster Lord of the Rings trilogy will be shot in 3D at 48 frames per second, twice as fast as the industry standard of 24.
I hope there’ll be a 2D version. I hate 3D.

Moving pictures with sound telling a story are called “films” for historical reasons, and the technology to produce them is reasonably called “film technology”.
Etymology is not definition, or “digital computing” would mean counting on your fingers.

You mean it doesn’t? I guess I’m doing it wrong, then.
