you say that like it's not supposed to be a huge difference
It's really not.
I can understand wanting to play a game in as high a framerate as possible, but videos in 60fps are unnecessary.
The illusion of motion has been acheviable at 25fps since the early days of motion pictures because that's the closest to our eyes in real life.
Adding more fps simply reduces motion blur (what people call smooth) which, while nice, is completely unneeded to enjoy the experience that is a movie.
Basically, when I make movies in blockland I want them to feel like movies. A higher framerate in a movie looks weird, just ask Peter Jackson when he tried it with The Hobbit.
Yeah, didn't exactly change any standards there, did he.
