An additional card reprinted the single image of the horse "Occident" trotting at high speed, which had previously been published by Muybridge in 1877. Muybridge shot the photographs in June 1878. 1878 – The Horse in Motion, British photographer Eadweard Muybridge take a series of "automatic electro-photographs" depicting the movement of a horse.It is the oldest film on IMDb and Letterboxd. On December 9, 1874, french astronomer Pierre Janssen and Brazilian engineer Francisco Antônio de Almeida using Janssen's ' photographic revolver' photograph the transit of the planet Venus across the Sun. 1874 – Passage de Vénus, first precedent of a film.There's no clue if more than one camera was used in the shoot, but it's certainly well-executed. As the sequence revolves around space rather than time it is even more related to the bullet-time effect popularized by The Matrix about 135 years later. This could be regarded as a predecessor to the chronophotography which Marey and Muybridge started to experiment with more than 10 years later. Except for a smile in 1 frame, not even a fold in his jacket or a single hair seems to change between the different angles. Around 1865 he produced this series of self-portraits consisting of 12 frames showing different angles of him sitting still in a chair.
1865 – Revolving, self-portrait by French photographer Nadar.1833 – Since 1833 onwards, 'animated films' or rather animated effects began to be made with the use of phénakisticopes, zoetropes and praxinoscopes.1826 – View from the Window at Le Gras, Nicéphore Niépce takes the oldest known extant photograph.It is possible that people at the time actually viewed such photographs come to life with a phénakisticope or zoetrope (this certainly happened with Muybridge's work). The sequences were basically made as time-lapse recordings. Before Muybridge's 1878 work, photo sequences were not recorded in real-time because light-sensitive emulsions needed a long exposure time.
