He did not invent "the motion picture", what he did do was "capture motion". Eadweard Muybridge (born 1830, died 1904) was a British-born photographer, known primarily for his early use of multiple cameras to capture motion. In 1872, businessman and former California governor Leland Stanford hired Muybridge to settle a bet: Stanford claimed, contrary to popular belief, that there was a point in a horse's gallop when all four hooves were off the ground. By 1878, Muybridge had successfully photographed a horse in fast motion using a series of cameras controlled by trip wires. This series of photos is called The Horse in Motion, and shows that, indeed, the hooves all leave the ground. Apr 04 04, 4:58 PM
