like babies and speed balls!

They go together like love and carriage.

I must admit I didn't know anything about Muybridge before making this, but he's one of those people who's work you've seen in one way or another all your life.

mine too.

I made one long image of the 12 original photos and moved it across the screen. The first couple of images were on the end of the 12 so that on the last frame of the move, it appeared to be back at the start. You can see this move in the first 5 seconds. This move could then be looped. Each loop increased in speed: 2 sec 10 frames, then 2 sec 9 frames, then 2 sec 8 frames and so on, until it reaches 12 frames per loop at about 45 seconds, where the figure is fully animated.

I had the idea after discussing with my wife why sometimes on television, car wheels appear to be spinning backwards.

genius!
