Cameron, who directed the original Avatar, spoke to Speakeasy about shooting the sequel to the 2009 blockbuster.
"For Avatar 2, what I'm most interested in is getting theatres to up their light level," Cameron said. "And we want to shoot the movie at 48 or maybe even 60 frames a second, and display it at that speed, which will eliminate a lot of the motion artifacts that I think are causing some people problems."
Cameron went on to discuss the cause of the nausea that some individuals experience when viewing a film in 3D.
"People talk about feeling sick or something like that, and I think it's because the image is strobing," Cameron stated. "That's a function of the 24-frame frame rate, which has actually got nothing to do with 3D."
Cameron continued: "It's just made more apparent because the 3D is otherwise such an enhanced, realistic image, that all of a sudden you're aware of this funky strobing which you weren't aware of."
