Eadweard J. Muybridge was born on the 9th of April 1830 in Surrey and passed away on the 8th of May 1904. His full real name was Edward James Muggeridge, but he adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge because he believed it to be the original Anglo- saxon form of his name. Eadweard was an English photographer who spent most of his life in America which he immigrated to in 1851. He was famously known for pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion, and documented a baboon in motion. Eadweard was acquitted for the murder of his wife's lover.
Eadweard Muybridge manged to capture horses gallop by using a series of large cameras that used glass plates placed in a line, each one being triggered by a thread as the horse passed. We recreated this experiment by setting up six webcams, and six people had to take a picture in time as Iman walked by. We used the same technique for Ruths fall. The process was pretty fun, also the technique we used was straightforward. Although we could have improved it by using more frames per second to make it appear smooth.
