Topic: Coraline
Coraline has returned to theaters for its 15th anniversary and I just finished re-watching it. During this viewing I noticed that Coraline doesn't seem to utilize motion blur outside of one instance. I've heard several people say that motion blur is necessary for movies to look right and not appear cheap, personally I've always hated it though and am so glad Coraline almost doesn't have it. Do any of you have opinions on aspects of cinematography that differ from the common consensus?

lyzander cross Motion blur is a large part of why I generally don't like action movies... I used to need glasses and every time I see motion blur it reminds me of when I still needed glasses but didn't have them on, plus my eyes always try to refocus when that happens and as a result they end up going out of focus.

Brandon Reed I don't know that I've ever heard anyone say they prefer motion blur.

Sage DeForest western action movies are notorious for this full of fast scenes and motion blur, whereas eastern action movies seem to focus on fight cinematography, and slow motion.

lyzander cross Another one I disagree with the consensus on is motion interpolation, the added smoothness is totally worth the occasional odd frame IMO.

Sage DeForest my only opinion is the blu ray looks superior to the 4K version yet paranorman looks better in 4K than blu ray. pretty much guarantee the theater is projecting 2K weird how we just go back and forth between resolutions and formats.
