Muybridge was a pioneer what would become motion pictures and animation.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, on April 9th &#8212; the 192 anniversary of Muybridge&#8217;s birth, Google celebrated with a Google Doodle:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DV073WyXyYo?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>(I will add more here, after the <a href=\"http:\/\/tdc.ds106.us\/writings\/join-me-for-the-pasta-explosion\/\" title=\"Join Me for the Pasta Explosion, The Daily Create #tdc385\">Pasta Explosion<\/a> has been consumed.)<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Jared&#8217;s device has a tab which prevents the animation from running backward (I had asked that he make the horse do so). To satisfy my own request, and to illuminate those of you who may also be interested, here is the Muybridge Horse (named Occident) running backwards, relative to the original. \u00a0Also, for my amusement (and possibly, yours), the horse running forward backwards.
