Eadweard Muybridge
Eadweard Muybridge was a photographer who studied the motion of humans and animals. Muybridge’s work is said to be an innovation in photography and the science of movement. His innovation led to the development of cinema. Muybridge’s image projection movies were the first of its kind. This animal locomotion is The galloping horse. To be able to capture the individual frames of the action, Muybridge Created wooden mechanical shutters, rubber springs and a trigger able to snap within one-thousand of a second. His images proved that a horse galloping lifted all legs of the ground at one point.
