Five minutes into episode 1 of “The Acolyte”: it looks like a show shot with a $50 high school play budget. What a disgrace to both Star Wars and Disney.
@gruber it’s worth sticking with it for episode 5
@caseyliss @BenRiceM @gruber that, and maybe turn on filmmaker mode on your TV (or turn off all the motion smoothing stuff)? It never looked cheap to me tbh. I quite like that they are doing something new and enjoy it a lot more than Ahsoka.

@janwedek @caseyliss @BenRiceM @gruber I can't believe people are still complaining about LFR stuff turning to HFR, but never care a bit when HFR gets smashed into LFR online. At least that motion smoothing stuff helps bring it back. FWIW Sony's algorithm makes it harder to notice it's happening -- I'm sure it's poor quality and artefacts that made "soap opera effect" so infamous.

Nevertheless there's certainly a more subtle point to be made that low-quality effects in LFR become more prominent when converted to HFR. But high quality effects look better or fare better at least.

@whophd @janwedek @caseyliss @BenRiceM @gruber What the fuck are you talking about?

@corsairstw @janwedek @caseyliss @BenRiceM @gruber High Frame Rate and Low Frame Rate

LFR = 24, 25, 30 fps
or the American 23.94, 29.97 etc

HFR = 48, 50, 60 fps
including 59.97 etc
