Chasing motion 🏃‍♂️

简介：

This video shows the classic linear zoetrope effect, where static images are arranged along a wall and brought to life by the motion of a passing train. The illusion depends on precise frame spacing and the train's speed, which together determine the effective frame rate of the animation. The slit‑scan effect caused by the train window acts like a mechanical shutter, isolating each frame just long enough for the viewer's eye to process it. Combined with the persistence of vision, this creates the perception of smooth, continuous motion from individual still images. The entire sequence is synchronized so that camera movement and image placement align perfectly. However, this scene is not captured on location. The train, the wall, and the running figure are all digitally constructed in Blender 3D. This simulation replicates the physical and optical principles of the zoetrope, creating an analog animation virtually.
