AI supplementary frame - make the movie silky and smooth like hair

Duration: 0:09:54

In this video, the topic is how to increase the frame rate of movies. Currently, most movies and TV shows are shot using 24 to 30 frames per second (fps), which is considered the standard. Our eyes can perceive up to 12 independent images per second, and the brain perceives anything above that as motion. Modern movies using 24 fps are smooth, but older movies shot at lower fps (e.g. 16) look sped up when played at 24 fps. To fix this, frames can be inserted in post-production or the footage can be re-shot.

May 13th and 14th "Secret Nature 2" screening in Beijing

Duration: 0:07:41

The speaker announces two screenings of the movie "In Search of Nature II" in Beijing on May 13 and 14. Despite obtaining the necessary license, the movie struggled to secure a screening by theaters due to their belief that scientific films are hard to sell. The speaker has decided to take matters into their own hands and buy out the theater to sell tickets themselves. The first screening will feature two films and the second will be followed by an interactive session. The speaker hopes to test whether viewers will recommend the film to others, and believes that every ticket purchased is a step towards supporting and shaping the future of Chinese science films.
