Eadwaerd Muybridge
Eadwaerd Muybridge was an English photographer who spent much of his life in the United States. He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion , and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip.
10 facts about Eadwaerd Muybridge
1. Eadwaerd Muybridge was known for his work on animal locomotion.
2. He Changed his name 7 times’s since he was born and was know before hand as Edward James Muggeridge.

Eadwaerd Muybridge captured motion by setting up lots of cameras to capture the movements of the horse. Then he put all the pictures in a sequence to create the motion of the horse actually galloping.
He then re-created his experiments over and over again; by using a software called I Stop Motion on the Mac computer. This was very easy for him because he created the horses galloping, so he knew what he had to do to create another movement. The software which Eadwaerd Muybridge used allows you to take pictures in different steps in a movement then once you play the footage from the beginning to the end. That was just another way that Muybridge made his experiments be re-created.
This is the pictures which he took with the cameras.
This is how the images got put into one to make to moving movement of the horse galloping.
He also made another moving motion with a male and female dancing. He used a Zoetrope this was a different method which he used.
Sue made the class make a moving movement motion by using the Mac. I used two different ways to make my moving movement motions, I used I Stop Motion and also Photo Booth these are two different software on the mac.
I used the I Stop Motion software first, to make my moving movement motion I sat on my girl and started to spin on my chair slowly, while I was spinning on my hair my friend was taking pictures of me. I went round on the chair 3 times as you can see the first round my hood was on, the second round I slowly took my hood off and the third round I just went round. This is the moving movement motion which I have created.
To make my moving movement motion I had to use 6 cameras on the Mac computers, I used a software called Photo Booth. I walked from one corner to the other corner of the room, as I was walking passed each camera took a picture. I then had 6 picture of me walking pass the cameras, I had to put each picture together to make my picture into a moving movement and this is what it looks like.
