2. What is the persistence of
vision
• The human eye is thought to see an
afterimage for approximately one
twenty-fifth of a second.
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
3. How is this used in Film and
Animation?
• The frame rate of 16 frames per second
or below causes the mind to see
flashing images or flicker. This is
because of the residual image in the
mind.
• As a result, the higher frame rate
means that the images flow smoothly.

“Running Horse” It showcases
