- Dan Curry's team was shooting models in 30fps, their movement looks weird in 24fps

AHA! I always KNEW there was something weird about the SFX shots in TNG. The video framerate definitely made me think TNG went CG like DS9 did eventually.

Yeah, Dan Curry did every other episode and the higher frame rate gives it that soap opera look, so that's why some people often mistakingly think the models were shot on video cameras, thus making the restoration impossibly expensive to do.

I think it was a bad idea to choose that frame-rate. I get that it transfers well to NTSC video, but all of the main action was shot at 24 and going from one frame-rate to another is not only jarring, but it makes for poorer conversions to PAL.

He may also be one of those HFR advocates which, in all honesty, I cannot understand one freaking bit. I saw the Hobbit in HFR and it was horrid; absolutely, positively eye-gougeingly horrid. Higher frame-rates are not more realistic. Wave your hand in front of your face very quickly and what do you see? Blur. (end rant)
