<p>There's a new video out, <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eadweard-Muybridge-Zoopraxographer-Dean-Stockwell/dp/B01LZN00GW/ref=sr_1_1/151-9554030-1266143?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1479899942&sr=1-1&keywords=zoopraxographer">Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer,</a></em> that fans of Muybridge will probably be interested in.</p>

<p>If you're not into Muybridge, maybe not. The voice-over -- which is constant throughout -- sounds like it was done by your neighbor Bob in his garage. But the visuals, to a Muybridge fan, are pretty interesting.</p>

<p>I won't say any more about what I think about the content because if I do this will get moved to the Philosophy forum.</p>

<p>Different strokes for different folks! I'd be hard put to it to describe EM in philosophical terms, for me he was a pioneering technical photographer in the field of motion analysis. There is some talk of his being a motion picture pioneer, of course he never shot or projected a single foot of motion picture film, and his subject matter has in the meantime been covered more informatively by slo-mo photography, particularly digital. Plenty of material for an entertaining movie in his personal life - I look forward to seeing the movie.</p>
