Optical Illusion of Motion

Optical Illusion of Motion

So what is Optical Illusion of Motion? 

Optical Illusion of Motion is when images occur to be moving. This happens as a result of the way our brains ascertain the image, this is often times referred to as a cognitive effect. The 'cognitive effect' can be caused by various factors such as color contrasts and shape/position and the speed in which images are being shown influencing the mental processes of perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning.

Stopmotion
 Previously I mentioned that the speed of an image can affect the way the brain recognizes an image/s this technique is called 'stopmotion'. 
 Stop motion (which is also known as stop frame) is an animation method that manually controls an object so that it appears to move on its own.The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.
Eadweard Muybridge-
Muybridge set up a row of cameras with tripwires, each would trigger a picture for a split second as the horse ran by.  To prove this experiment Eadweard used Stop- Frame Animation. This technique is commonly used in clay-mation and puppet-based animation.The more frames the more detail and focus there is on the object.
