Do you get the same effect if the guy at the end isn't running?

Yes. To see, just cover up the part of your screen where the running guy is. (You don't have to cover much of the screen, because the guy doesn't travel very far!)

If you get far enough away from it to lose the edges that give the apparent movement it will suddenly look like a blinking static image.

I do wonder how much the characters play in it, like how far from the 45 degree angle can the apparent motion be moved On the stairs figures before they don’t feel like they connect anymore.

Let's see ...



I didn't get the positioning of the now-not-running guy at the end exactly the same in all frames, but hey.

Still illusive.
