It's interesting how the frame rate actually changes the perception of the 3D as well as making it more comfortable to watch.

When you're casting a movie and when you're shooting a film, the eyes are the most important feature of any performer, really. Any great actor literally knows exactly how to use their eyes, and even as a filmmaker I love shooting huge close-ups because it's those eyes that mean so much to me.

I regard myself as being the final filter so everything that ends up in the movie is there because it's something that I think was cool.
