Many fans and film fanatics around the world are against using 48fps and being the first to direct a film using the upgraded technology he has received allot of complaints. In the interview he defends the use of 48fps compared to the standard 24fps and tells the audience why he chose to use it. He starts by telling the media that he wants to enhance the cinematic experience rather than creating another film that will be watched mostly at home on IPads and laptops. He then goes on to argue that 24fps was created and used in the early 20th century and we should try and grow from that and make the experience more immersive, magical and spectacular.
