Actually, Muybridge only realised after the process that there is a point where the horses’ feet are off the ground. Also the Bullet-time effect, famous from The Matrix movie when the camera circles around a person and time freezes, is taken from Muybridge’s idea. Simply puting cameras around a moving object. But the technology gave the movie’s creators much moore freedom.
