Animals in motion : an electro-photographic investigation of consecutive phases of animal progressive movements
Animals in Motion is a 1902 photographic study by Eadweard Muybridge, published in London by Chapman & Hall, that records animal locomotion as sequences of consecutive phases. Its plates arrange sequential photographs of camels, horses, big cats, sloths and monkeys in grids against a ruled or dark ground, with captions naming each gait. A designer could take the even spacing of frames and the repeated poses as a model for sequence layouts, motion diagrams or stop-motion storyboards.
