1) Edward Muybridge created the illusion of movement in photographs by using a series of cameras to capture phases of a galloping horse's motion, proving that horses' legs leave the ground during full gallop.
2) Thomas Edison later developed the Kinetoscope, an early motion picture device that played short film loops for individual viewers through a peephole viewer.
3) While Edison took credit for inventing the Kinetoscope, it was actually created by one of his assistants, as Edison was a photographer and business owner, not an inventor.

2. A LITTLE BACKGROUND
Edward known as the motion
picture father.
The Horse In Motion Created to
prove that horses float in mid air
when running.
He created the illusion of the
movement by setting up a series of
cameras. These triggered 50
cameras to take pictures as the
horse ran pass.
4. KINETOSCOPE
Greek word Kineto which means movement
and scoposmeaning to watch.
The machine operates on a film threaded rollers
where a series of images is continually rolled
over a tiny projector.
The viewer may then look through the view finder
to see these rolling images, creating a short film
look a like.

5. KEY POINTS
Edward Muybridge created the
horse in motion effect to prove a
point. Went to large scales to prove
this point (50 Cameras).
Edison - Was given full credit
for the creation of the
Kinetoscope however it was his
assistant who actually created
it as he was a photographer.
