NOTESTHE Galloping Horse is the first motion picture made in 1878
Jan 15, 2016 Ian Smith Eadweard Muybridge took a series of photographs of a rider on a galloping horse as a photographic experiment on June 15, 1878. The horse’s name was Sallie Gardner, a Kentucky-bred mare, and Muybridge used multiple cameras to photograph her as she galloped past. The project was financed by Leland Stanford, who owned a farm where he bred, trained, and raced horses. He bred horses for both the trotting races in which Standardbreds pull a sulky with a driver and the races in which Thoroughbreds are ridden by jockeys and run at a gallop. Stanford became interested in Muybridge’s photos when he had visited the farm to take photographs of his trotter, Occident. Stanford wanted to examine a horse’s gait to see if at any time all four of the horse’s feet were off the ground. His goal was to improve his horses, and photography seemed to be the way to visualize what needed to be done. So in the presence of the press, Stanford’s horse, Sallie Gardner, was photographed in Palo Alto. Eadweard Muybridge Muybridge arranged the cameras along the track in a line parallel to the horse’s path, and twenty-four of them were placed 27 inches apart. To activate the shutters, the horse hit trip wires as she galloped past, allowing the photographs to be taken in increments of approximately one twenty-fifth of a second as the horse raced past. The jockey kept the horse at a pace of one mile per 1 minute and 40 seconds. The photographs show at some points in the run that, indeed, all four of her feet were off the ground. When the individual photos were run in sequence, they clearly show the kinetics of a galloping horse. Muybridge developed and produced the prints on site and the press was could tell from the broken straps on Sallie’s saddle that all the photos were authentic. Scientific American even carried reports of his ground-breaking photography. The pictures were first projected onto a screen in 1880 when Muybridge gave a presentation at the California School of Fine Arts; this would have been the first exhibition of a motion picture. Galloping horse, animated in 2006, using photos by Eadweard Muybridge Stanford and Muybridge’s relationship became strained in 1882 when Stanford commissioned the book A Horse in Motion.
