* Eadweard Muybridge, 19th century English photographer, born Edward James Muggeridge.

He left behind him two unmade screenplays: Justified Sinner, an adaptation of James Hogg ’ s celebrated novel, and Flying Horse, based on the life of pre-cinema pioneer Eadweard Muybridge.

The lavish style of scientific illustration was followed in work on animal locomotion ( co-ordinated movement ) by Eadweard Muybridge ( 1830 – 1904 ) and James Bell Pettigrew ( 1832 – 1908 ); and-to a lesser extent-in D ' Arcy Thompson's masterpiece of mathematical biology On Growth and Form ( 1917 ).

On June 19, 1872, under the sponsorship of Leland Stanford, Eadweard Muybridge successfully photographed a horse named " Sallie Gardner " in fast motion using a series of 24 stereoscopic cameras.

As a result of the work of Étienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge, many researchers in the late 19th century realized that films as they are known today were a practical possibility, but the first to design a fully successful apparatus was W. K. L. Dickson, working under the direction of Thomas Alva Edison.

* 1878 – Eadweard Muybridge takes a series of photographs to prove that all four feet of a horse leave the ground when it runs ; the study becomes the basis of motion pictures.

Eadweard Muybridge gave a series of lectures on the Science of Animal Locomotion in the Zoopraxographical Hall, built specially for that purpose on Midway Plaisance.

In spite of early attempts to classify gaits based on footprints or the sound of footfalls, it wasn't until Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey began taking rapid series of photographs that proper scientific examination of gaits could begin.

* 1878 – Eadweard Muybridge made a high-speed photographic demonstration of a moving horse, airborne during a trot, using a trip-wire system.

He adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge, believing it to be the original Anglo-Saxon form of his name.

He used " Eadweard Muybridge " for the rest of his career.

* April 9, 1830 – Eadweard Muybridge, English photographer

Edward the Martyr ( Old English: Eadweard ; c. 962 – 18 March 978 ) was king of the English from 975 until he was murdered in 978.

The magic lantern also led directly to Eadweard Muybridge's invention of the zoopraxiscope, which was another forerunner for moving pictures.

In the late 1870s he was introduced to the photographic motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge, particularly the equine studies, and became interested in using the camera to study sequential movement.

Eadweard Muybridge used still cameras placed along a racetrack, and each camera was actuated by a taut string stretched across the track ; as the horse galloped past, the camera shutters snapped, taking one frame at a time.

During its first 60 years, influential artists associated with the school included Eadweard Muybridge, photographer and pioneer of motion graphics ; Maynard Dixon, painter of San Francisco ’ s labor movement and of the landscape of the West ; Henry Kiyama, whose Four Immigrants Manga was the first graphic novel published in the U. S .; Sargent Claude Johnson, one of the first African-American artists from California to achieve a national reputation ; Louise Dahl-Wolfe, an innovative photographer whose work for Harper ’ s Bazaar in the 1930s defined a new American style of “ environmental ” fashion photography ; John Gutzon Borglum, the creator of the large-scale public sculpture known as Mt.

The second recorded instance of photographs capturing and reproducing motion was a series of photographs of a running horse by Eadweard Muybridge, which he captured in Palo Alto, California, using a set of still cameras placed in a row.

Remington was one of the first American artists to illustrate the true gait of the horse in motion ( along with Thomas Eakins ), as validated by the famous sequential photographs of Eadweard Muybridge.

His entry was based on the work Laundromat Locomotion, in which he converted a row of 12 washing machines in a laundromat into a series of cameras triggered by trip wires, and then rode a horse through the laundromat to recreate Eadweard Muybridge ’ s The Horse in Motion ( 1878 ).

Eadweard Muybridge was the first to prove, by photography, in 1872 that there is a " moment of suspension " or " unsupported transit " during the trot gait.

The English photographer Eadweard Muybridge carried out his " Photographic Investigation " in Palo Alto, California, to prove that Marey was right when he wrote that a galloping horse for a brief moment had all four hooves off the ground.

Accurate restoration of the home and its rooms was aided by both an extensive study of the home in 1986 through the Historic American Buildings Survey, and through a large collection of photographs of the home taken in 1868 by Alfred A. Hart, and again in 1872 by Eadweard Muybridge.

After an 1882 trip to England, he changed the spelling of his first name to " Eadweard ," the Old English form of his name.

English photographer Eadweard Muybridge pioneered motion picture, while pioneering Scottish documentary maker John Grierson coined the term " documentary " to describe a non-fiction film in 1926.
