Long time ago when there was Flash animation in the world, the person who is crowned to gave us Zoopraxiscope is Eadweard Muybridge. Zoopraxiscope is a simple stop-motion device considered by some to be the first-ever movie projector. The player was created in 1879 which featuring spinning glass disks that give displayed images the illusion of movement. Muybridge, born on 9th April in 1830, photographed a galloping horse to help settle the question of whether all four of the animal’s hooves leave the ground at the same time while galloping (they do), later animating the image via his new invention. That movement was observable and can be get into motion by a single click on yesterday’s Google doodle.
