Edweard Muybridge.
Edweard used multiple cameras to capture the movement of animal locomotion. He then created the zoopraxiscope. The zoopraxiscope projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to give the impression of motion. It was the first example of stop motion animation.
He made all of these images and then put them in order to make an animation so that it would make the sense that the horse is moving like in the film below.
This was the first scientific proof that a horse lifted all of its feet off the ground when it ran. Muybridge also created a phenakistoscope disc of a couple waltzing.
This then turned into a zoopraxiscope when spun around with a film camera focused on one part of the picture. When the disc spun round, it would make this film.
I like this work because it shows how movement can be captured in photos to discover new things about that movement. I will take from this work the idea of discovering how animals move and to find out if my dog's feet leave the ground when he is running. I will also make animations of my dog running.
Shake is a small series of dog shots shaking off water. For this project, Carli sprayed water onto the dogs so that they would shake. She used a high shutter speed to capture their faces as they were shaking.
I like this project because each photo is unique and because it is exciting to see the dogs faces distorted as we have never seen a dogs face as they shake close up before. I also think it has a good emotional connection to viewers because it has humour and relevence to dog owners. I will take from this work the idea of movement in dogs which has never been seen before and close ups of a dogs face when in motion.

Anita takes photos of her own dog in different moving positions but she does it as a hobby and not for any projects.

I like these photos because they show the Boxer doing different things in motion, such as fighting, running and jumping. I will take from this work that I should get my dog in lots of different situations so from this I decided to make a film of my dog on a dog walk.
Gopro cameras:
My final outcome was based on a TV programme that I saw which showed a camera mounted onto a bird's back and recorded the bird's journey. This idea inspired me to do the same but with my dog, Bongo. This idea of seeing from a 'bird's eye view' is very recent and there are only a small amount of films with animals in hem using gopro cameras. I didn't use a gopro camera, instead I used a normal lightwieght camera which was just as good and Bongo didn't mind. Becuase the idea is very new, there aren't any artists that I could find that used these cameras to film animals, so instead, I would recommend you watch these youtube videos that use gopro cameras.
