Coming to you live from the only person left in my dorm at ten o'clock on a Saturday night. (I love it. I can work on my flip book in peace once the drunks go clubbing.)
On a Canadian health website I found an article that said "The Brain from Top to Bottom". In the article the writer explains retinal persistence to us. She also reveals why it is not realistically the 'magic' behind motion pictures. Retinal persistence is not responsible for any remnant after a few hundred milliseconds. However, our eyes sense movement when exposed to five frames per second. The writer introduces a new theory that is prevalent in the scientific community. The 'beta effect' occurs when a person is shown images that are slightly different in rapid succession. So, essentially, the image is not residual, but we piece together the separate events as a whole.
And one of the examples on the sight is... a flip book!
I have decided to make mine into a video. I think that a huge GIF would take too long to load on our computers here at school.
Lastly, here is a flip book that absolutely amazes me. Lo adoro.
A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything
Ciao for now.
