- Actually, movies (I assume you mean film), is shot at a standard of 24
- frames per second (fps), and projected back at 48 fps. That is, when
- you go to a movie theatre, every frame is shown to you twice for about
- a fiftieth of a second (1/50th sec). Showscan is shot and projected at
- 60 fps, and IMAX is shot and projected in the standard 24/48 routine.
-
- Only video works on 30 fps.
