Do you ever think the human brain will develop enough so that we will be able to detect the individual frames in a TV program or film therefore making it necessary for the frame rate in films and TV to be increased?
is it 25 fps for a human to not get a flicker ?
strangely - (quote from steven fry) ...
To keep alive in the wild, a pigeon needs to keep its eyes open for predators. Having eyes on the side of its head gives it a field of view of 340 degrees and, in order to fly at speed, its brain can process visual information three times faster than a human's. If a pigeon watched a feature film, 24 frames per second would appear to it like a slide presentation. They would need at least 75 frames per second to create the illusion of movement on screen. (This is why pigeons seem to leave it until the very last second to fly out of the way of an oncoming car: it appears much less fast to them.)
I've heard 24 frames however most TV programs are filmed at 27.
I've heard the pigeon thing as well. I just wonder with long enough exposure to flickering images as a race, will the human brain evolve so that it can keep up and eventually the frame rate will look slow and jerky like the pigeon sees now.
