[ Lana heaves an exasperated sigh and sticks the Pringles can back into her bag, pulling out her phone instead. ]
Ugh, fuck, I am not smart enough to have this conversation. Hang on, let me Google it...
[ She types into her search bar, "how does video work," and reads off the explanation that she finds verbatim. ]
"Digital video shows up on our screens like magic, but it’s conceptually the same as the simpler to understand motion pictures, invented over a century ago. Just like physical film and analog video, a digital video stream is made up of individual frames, each one representing a time slice of the scene. Films display 24 frames per second, and American video presents 30 frames in that same time span, known as the frame rate. The higher the number of frames in any given second, the smoother the video will appear."
[ She glances up at the guy, trying to judge if he's understanding any of this. ]
So it's like, a ton of pictures shown back to back to back, to make it look like it's moving. Like a flip book, I guess. Do they have flip books where you come from?
