Edward Muybridge, an English photographer from the late 1800s, is most well-known for having captured the movement of humans and animals, thus allowing people to truly understand how these things move. He also invented the zoopraxiscope, an early device that could display motion pictures, which was just the next step after his pioneering of sequential photographs of movement.
So I bring this up because this sort of cinematic storytelling, this sequential line of views, can be taken into architecture, especially with the project I am working on. Vague and unhelpful, as I don't have photos of it to explain what I mean, but anyway, just wanted to note a current inspiration.
Oh and apart from all that other stuff he became famous for, look at how freaking beautiful this is. Edward Muybridge. Innovative and freakin' talented.
