James Cameron wants to raise the bar for filmmaking with his upcoming saga of Avatar sequel films, and hopes to release them with glasses-free 3D and higher frame rates.
When accepting an honorary membership in the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, the director expressed a desire to innovate in the name of storytelling, THR reports. "I'm going to push. Not only for better tools, workflow, high dynamic range and high frame rates," he said.
Cameron went on to say he is "still very bullish on 3D." After acknowledging the fact that they still have some work to do before it's entirely feasible—citing the need for brighter projection—he said he believes it's possible: "Ultimately I think it can happen—with no glasses. We'll get there."
Cameron further discussed his desire for advancements in high frame rates, calling it "a tool, not a format." According to the director, movements during 3D panning can create "bothersome" artifacts, which can be removed by increasing the frame rate.
As far as the applicability of high frame rates (HFR) to filmmaking in general, Cameron said "there may be some films that benefit from it, but I feel you still have to have a little bit of that veil of unreality that comes with 24 frames per second." As such, HFR isn't something Cameron believes should be applied to all films, with the director adding, "I think you do it where you need it."
Earlier this year, Cameron announced plans to release a total of four Avatar sequels, with the first hitting theaters in 2018.
