Retinal Persistance

This concept really explains why humans are able to digest films and motion. Pretty much the theory is that anything we see, remains in our sight of vision for one twenty fifth of a second. In 1912 Wertheimer bunked the myth that still exists in art where most artist still believe that films are not necessarily in motion but are a secession of still images that appear to be moving due to our retinal persistence to remember the preceding image. This sounds like the flip book project will really be difficult for me especially if we have to choose which we accept because I really hate questions without definitive answers.
