1877 in animation

none Events in 1877 in animation. Events August 11: On August 11, 1877, the Daily Alta newspaper announced a project by Eadward Muybridge and Leland Stanford to produce sequences of photographs of a running horse with 12 stereoscopic cameras. Muybridge had much experience with stereo photography and had already made instantaneous pictures of Stanford's horse Occident running at full speed. He eventually managed to shoot the proposed sequences of running horses in June 1878, with stereoscopic cameras. The published result and animated versions for his zoopraxiscope were not stereoscopic, but in 1898 Muybridge claimed that he had (privately) viewed the pictures in two synchronized zoetropes with Wheatstone's reflecting stereoscope as a "very satisfactory reproduction of an apparently solid miniature horse trotting, and of another galloping".Muybridge Eadweard https://books.google.com/books?id=_ETCAgAAQBAJ&q=muybridge+%22animals+in+motion%22&pg=PA14 Animals in Motion September 24, 2012 Courier Corporation 978-0-486-12999-0 en August 30: Charles-Émile Reynaud patented the praxinoscope, an animation device that improved on the zoetrope.Bendazzi 1994 4Myrent 1989 192-193 Like the zoetrope, the praxinoscope used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder. The praxinoscope improved on the zoetrope by replacing its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors that intermittently reflected the images.Brunn Stanley D. Cutter Susan L.
