Muybridge Film Anne Rees Mogg, 1975

Fellow filmmaker Renny Croft is captured performing a cartwheel; the action is first shown in accelerated motion and then slowed down. This film is reminiscent of Eadweard Muybridges studies of human and animal motion in the 19th century, which would contribute to the invention of cinema. Muybridge invented the zoopraxiscope in 1879 in order to project his photographic sequences of motion studies as moving images.
