Eadweard Muybridge

Born 9th of April 1830- 8th may 1904. he was an English photographer and he's known for pioneering work on animal locamotion, he is one of the most influencial photographers of all time. his freeze frames are still on display at the national museums of American history. he is also most known for actually inventing motion photography, he is best known for proving that horses can be totally of the ground whilst there running. he was accused of murdering his wife's secret lover but was never found guilty. He moved to the unite states of america in 1851 to further pursue his career in his work. he is also known for using an animation device called a zoopraxiscope.

Eadweard Muybridge captured motion by using 24 induvidual cameras and then uses a trip wire which is linked to the camera so when the wire is triped for instance by the horse the camera will catch all the movements of the horses, he then but the images together and created his motion picture this is how he proved how a horse gallops.

we recreated his experiment by setting up 6 different computers to capture 6 different images and them we put them all together which created the motion of one person walking and of another person walking then tripping. we could improve our experiment by taking more pictures and have more shots which would make the motions and movements of the shots more smooth.

FPS stands for frame per second this is what people use to measure how many shots and pictures they need in able to create a motion image.,many tele vision programes can display up to 24 frames per second to create motion images on programmes.
