just an illusion

ometimes it's hard to convince people in animation workshops how little change should take place between frames to create the illusion of smooth movement.

As if to prove me wrong, here's an example, admittedly quite an extreme one, of just how big the steps can be. There are two short clips from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The first is at normal speed, and the second is an extract of the first one, in slow motion so that you can see individual frames.

I particularly like Bugs with three heads...
