APPARENT MOTION: The illusory impression of smooth motion resulting from the rapid alternation of objects that appear in different locations in rapid succession.  -- Wolfe, 2012

EXPERIMENTAL QUESTION

PROJECT PURPOSE

This stop motion project plays with our perception of motion while attempting to answer the question at hand; it also serves as a first, albeit gritty, attempt at creating with Final Cut Pro.
