PERSISTENCE OF VISION

Persistence of vision is the commonly used term to describe the optical illusion whereby multiple discrete images blend into a single image in the human mind and believed to be the explanation for motion perception in cinema and animated films. (WIKIPEDIA)

Persistence of vision is still the accepted term for this phenomenon in the realm of cinema history and theory. 

A frame rate of less than 16 frames per second (frame/s) caused the mind to see flashing images. Audiences still interpret motion at rates as low as ten frames per second or slower (as in a flipbook), 

Modern  film runs at 24 frames a second.

We are going to work on Flipbooks in order to get motion out to still images.

Let´s try one using this site.

Once we have done a digital one, we´ll start working on paper.
