Discuss how Eadweard Muybridge's work in motion photography led to the development of filmmaking

What will be an ideal response?

Muybridge's experiments in serial photography had as much to do with scientific discovery as they did with film as an art form. Muybridge's famous photographs of horses in motion (1878 ) were inspired by a question that Leland Stanford (later Governor of California) hired Muybridge to Answers: do horses lift all four feet off the ground when running? (The answer was yes). Muybridge set up a bank of still cameras, each of which captured a shot of the horse as it moved by. These sequences of still shots offered insight into the details of human and animal movement.
