Filming technology makes 'The Hobbit' more spectacular, says director

Peter Jackson hopes the new technology he used on his 'Hobbit' movie trilogy will create a magical experience that will get people into theatres.

Speaking at a news conference in Wellington hours before the premiere of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey', Jackson said the films were shot at 48 frames per second instead of the traditional 24 to give them greater clarity.
