    Supports→No further explanation of motion and change perception is required beyond what the Cinematic antirealist account provides.

    If the contents and temporal arrangement of static snapshots are sufficient to convince the brain that motion and change are being perceived, then the perceiver will inevitably believe motion and change are being perceived.

    Suppose the ‘succession of static snapshots’ conception of experience, as proposed by the Cinematic antirealist is correct. Provided the contents and temporal arrangement of these static snapshots are enough to convince our brains that we are perceiving motion and change, we will inevitably believe that this is what we are perceiving, and hence describe our experience in such terms. Isn’t this all that we are required to explain? For Dennett and Chuard nothing further is needed.
