Eadweard Muybridge:
Eadweard was another famous Chronophotographer how he was fmaous for trying to prove one simple fact, the fact that when a horse runs at some point all four of its feet was off the ground at the same time. He spent a lot of his time trying to prove this fact and he finally did and by doing this he wanted to extend his work across with other animals and their movements.
