5.0 out of 5 stars
Motion Broken Down,
This review is from: Muybridge's Complete Human and Animal Locomotion, Vol. 1: Males (Nude) / Females (Nude) (Hardcover)
As an artist and beginning animator, I have found Muybridge's motion studies to be helpful in understanding how the body travels in time (animals and machines too) using time-lapse photography. This book remains current and comprehensive especially in light of the current digital revolution's emphasis on special effects and eye candy. Muybridge's work is important because it goes to the roots of motion and reveals its simplicity and beauty. I highly recommend this fascinating book for those with curious minds.

This review is from: Muybridge's Complete Human and Animal Locomotion, Vol. 1: Males (Nude) / Females (Nude) (Hardcover)
if you are interested in clear depictions of humans in motion, it is interesting that the absolute best work on the subject comes from the late 1800s. If you are interested in animal locomotion, get another book. I am assuming that the other 2 volumes will someday become available, making this a true "complete" study. perhaps someone will update Muybridges work in the interim.
