well yea, but why two images instead of the two alternating images creating one image?

I don't think it's a persistence of vision thing since our view of the cards is unfiltered. A proper zoetrope has you viewing the animation through a narrow slot which I think help induce the POV effect. In this case I think the animator is simply spinning it at a speed that aligns to the capture device's framerate.

It has to do with the frame rate of the video and the rotation speed of the wheel holding the cards. You ever see a car commercial where it looks like the car's wheels turn backwards briefly while it accelerates? Or this video where it looks like a helicopter's rotors are barely moving:

The spinning cards video is a more complicated version of that effect. The wheel there is slightly out of sync with the camera's frame rate; each individual card appears to alternate between the two images at different rates depending on their position on the wheel. That and the way our eyes and brains process images all combine to produce the final effect.

Thanks Mao and Vargen, the shutter speed was the bit i wasn't thinking about!

Weird. Works just fine on my iPhone.

Use the video tag with .mp4s.

Like a BAWSS.

“I am NOT enjoying this...”

Gizmo caca!

I've been doing it wrong all these years:

Kids, don't try this at home. Do NOT put a plastic bag over your breathing holes. Or your sibling's or friend's breathing holes.

Just a relaxing post
