I've done a lot of Media blogs on films and how they have revolutionized cinema and how genius the effect are. So I decided to try something a little different to show the work and genius behind the first piece of filming ever. With limited technology and not have much to work with, I though this would be quite similar to the condition i'll face when doing my media work. (Not having a dig at the media department, the cameras are great and thatt and i know we do have better equipment compared to back then, but its good to see how these people made realist effects from a lack of resources through improvising.) and without this, the film we see today may not of been the same if it wasn't for these early works.
The continuous video above is the first piece of filming to ever exist. Created in 1878 by Eadweard Muybridge, this is a groundbreaking piece of motion photography, the creation of this was actually to answer the question do all the horse's hooves come off the ground (They do.)? Muybridge's motion photography answered the question and kicked off motion photography, leading on to filming, filming lead to movies and movies brought animation.
Muybridge assembled this filming through placing images of the horse together and playing them over and over again in frames (Like camera frames), to make it look like the horse and human are in motion. The clip on the right is a updated version in 2006 but still uses the same photos by Muybridge.
Animation has developed so much, why not have a look at my blogs on
Aardman And
Pixar.
