Eadweard Muybridge: Post from Anna


Hey ladies,

Considering we did some stop motion photo work ourselves recently, I figured it would good for you to see the work of the guy who sort of discovered this technique. Eadweard Muybridge used photography to try and answer some questions about the way the human body (and animal bodies) moved. He took a series of photographs of people or animals repeating a certain motion, like walking, dancing, horses running, etc. to see how the body moved scientifically. This was really significant in photography and in science! Do you think you could discover something by taking stop motion photographs? How do they compare to the work we made last week? Can you think of something similar we could do with all the technology we have today?

See you tomorrow!
