Eadwaerd Muybridge was an English photographer who was born in kingston upon thames on april 9th 1830. He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip. He invented a fast shutter mechanism, exposing the film for a fraction of a second. To make the horse move in multiple frames he placed several cameras in a row and triggered them in sequence as the horse ran past. He attached strings to the shuttles and placed them across a track so that when the van across it triggered all the cameras in sequence.
