CATV Spotlight
February 26, 2016

The Oscars are coming up and that inevitably makes us think about horses.

19th Century photographer, Eadweard Muybridge, holds the lofty position of being the progenitor of film projection. Muybridge was approached to settle an equestrian question of the day - during a horse's trot and gallop, is there a point at which all of the horse's hooves do not touch the ground? After perfecting his method of photographically capturing horse locomotion, Muybridge made copies of his horse photo sequence, but articulated them as silhouettes on a glass disc, which he placed in a machine of his devising - a zoopraxiscope.  This machine using rotating glass discs "could project sequences of rapid movement informed by the camera onto a screen." That was a first.  In stills 2 and 3, Sallie Gardner (that's the horse!) isn't touching the ground.   So when you're settling in with your popcorn to enjoy the 88th Academy Awards, think about old Eadweard and his horse photography and his incredible invention that set it all in motion.
