Notes:
It was nice to see the very beginning of the idea of motion pictures, much like the flip books you'd make as a kid. Interesting that all of these works included nude females. They're not pornographic at all, but more artistic (though the "Woman Hopping on One Foot" had a nice effect). I have also seen his galloping horse pictures back in science and film studies classes. He originally set up 12 cameras back in 1878 to shoot a horses gallop in order to settle a bet about how a horse's feet leave the ground during a gallop. I find this to be a very interesting story and bit of history of how movies got started.
