Eadweard

Eadweard Muybridge was a photographer who was obsessed with motion. He invented a way to capture small motions by placing 24 cameras in a row and having them go off rapidly one after the other. This way he captured people and animals moving in different ways. These photographic studies where done for science and led the way to cinema, thanks to Muybrigde’s movielike invention the zoopraxiscope. This gripping drama tells this tale along with the problems Muybridge faced because of his insistence on nude models and the terrible effect his obsessive work had on his marriage, leading to deadly results.
