The problem is, like 24fps is that film grain makes things feel "filmic". The hobbit doesn't feel like a film in 60fps. it feels like a play, or something from TV. Now. to your point, that motion smoothing stops this, its not strictly true. There are still artefacts that happen because its film. this then becomes the marker for "film". > The meaning of art is up to the viewer, not the artist. yes, but the delivery is key. your point about imax doesn't really add up. Unless you are printing out IMAX prints (which most people don't) they you'll at least do a technical grade for the IMAX to make it look like the version that the DoP/director agreed. The House of Dragons chose to make it look like that. Mainly because I suspect the director was trying to chase the fashion for removing colour from everything. Grading, like most things is prone to fashions, and pushing against "what came before" is par for the course. Some people do it well, others are shite.
