Persistence of Vision

Over fifty years ago, a certain number of writers had pointed out,that the long-quited mechanism thats for motion perception in cinimas "persistance of vision". Its an effect thar us usually attributed to a 'defect' of an eye.


Many film writers were (some still not) aware of/or unconvinced by it.


'Persistence' has a meaning, it seems, that we don't preceive motion pictures, though any kind of persistence, thats either in the eye or in the brain.


"The apperance of a continuously visible series of images, in other words, is a phenomenon distinct from the appearance of motion" Bill Nichols abd Susan J. Lederman
