Description

There are some different theories to explain the reason why we perceive smooth motion in movies and animations. From the perceptual psychological point of view, we can focus on the apparent motion theory to this problem. The meeting which was planned by us and held in Hosei University on August 25, 2013 became the starting point of the present study. As the panelists, we invited some animation movie producers engaged in animation education and an image engineer as well as perceptual psychologists. One of the most important points at issue which we insisted was the Braddick's (1974) claim, in which he divided apparent motion into short-range and long-range ones. Based on his idea, Anderson & Anderson (1993) , movie researches, insisted that the short-range apparent motion, not the long-rangone, causes motion perception in movies. This dichotomy, however, was received severe criticism in the field of perceptual psychology, and new concept called first-order motion is suggested for the short-range apparent motion. Nevertheless, we pointed out a lot of evidence that the low-level processing and the short-range apparent motion have almost common processes and concluded that the short-range apparent motion would be responsible for the motion perception in movies and animations. In the last section, we quoted some suggestive comments by the panelists and the participants of the meeting.
