1 out of 24FPS


First, a lesson on film making.

FPS stands for Frames Per Second.

For most films, 24 pictures are taken in 1 second. Some tv shows use a faster rate, that's why Full House looks different from Family Matters. Think about it.

My point being is that I'm sure all of us can pick out one frame that will be embeded in our brains till the day we die.

For some, it could be an archaeologist in a cavern, escaping a huge round boulder.

Or maybe it's a Death Star exploding after the kid and the Rebel Alliance get off a perfect shot.

Probably for most guys it's the perfect girl next door, just out of the pool, slow motion, unhooking her bikini top and exposing...anyway.

Mine, a boy and his new found friend sweeping across the crisp night sky, in front of a fully lit moon.

So. What do you got? What 1 out of 24FPS do you have burned into your head?

Comment here or on the Tweet thingy. @MovieMorty
