Discover the magic of flipbooks! Each page features a still image – a snapshot frozen in time. But when you flip through them rapidly, something incredible happens. Your eyes blend these images seamlessly, creating the illusion of fluid motion. It's the same phenomenon behind your favorite movies and videos! Just like a flipbook, they trick your brain into perceiving movement by displaying still images in quick succession. The secret lies in the persistence of vision – your eye's ability to merge rapid images into a cohesive stream. So, whether you're watching a blockbuster film or flipping through a playful flipbook, it's all about the art of creating motion from stillness. And with a flipbook, you hold the power to control the action right in your hands!
