He was a photographer who was important for his work involving the studies of motion, and within in motion-picture projection. In the 1880's he actually produced images of animals as well as humans within motion, overall capturing exactly what the human eye could not see as separate movements. Eadward experimented with a horse in motion in which he lined up cameras against a horse race track whereby the shutter of each of the cameras was triggered by a thread as each individual horse had passed. The end result of this is shown in the picture beneath, showing the illusion of movement had been created.
Muybridge, would then copy the images onto a disc to then be able to view it within a machine in which he invented which was known as the zoopraxiscope. This device was invented in 1879 and would/ could be considered the first movie projector. The way in which the device worked was that it would project images from rotating discs which would give the impression of movement. The zoopraxiscope was one of the inspirations from the kinetoscope, which was the first commercial film system.
