The Historic Importance of Eadweard Muybridge

Eadweard Muybridge, is a human landmark in the field of photography and is a photographic pioneer who brought the revolutionary idea of animation to the foreground of photography and is the reason for the world's main and arguably most important form of interactive media, the moving image.

His legacy is important to how video and imagery works as well as the other industrial fields he specialized and was successfully in. His technique very basically used still imagery containing steps of an action which using the Phi Phenomenon made them understandable and appear to be moving as a sequence. This was never seen before and has changed how media has been used on the face of the earth. 

He is historically important due to the fact he brought such an idea to the table and because of this simple but unique idea moving imagery has now evolved into the blockbuster films of today as well as the still imagery he had taken to inspire some of the still imagery of today and how they may be interpreted.
