Supposedly this was a fairly big event, as members of the press were watching when this took place. The experiment was carried out by Eadweard Muybridge and financed by Leland Stanford (8th governor of California). There was also an earlier attempt by the two in 1873 that was only about halfway successful.

Technically there weren't. According to most of what I've read over many years, the first true film was Louis Le Prince's Roundhay Garden Scene. Muybridge and the Passage de Venus used separate cameras and plates that were later assembled into a viewable film. The R.G.S. was the first film made with a strip of film moving through a camera taking pictures in real time.

[@Emmewantspeace]

How did they film this so precisely? The horse is never further nor closer to either edge of the screen, and did they ride something at the same speed that was outrageously smooth rolling? Help sorry if this is a stupid question

[@TheChannelStop]

Hello! I love this kind of questions, Leland Stanford ( the founder of the Stanford University) claimed that there is a time when horses didn't put any of their legs on the ground when they were galloping and there were other factions that said otherwise, he hired Eadweard Muybridge to make this experiment so he came to the idea tu put a row of cameras and shot them in the moment the horse was passing by. He developed the pictures and put them one above the other and started to move them rapidly with his thumb ( similar with what you do with a deck of cards) and he saw the full cycle of the motion of the horse (you can see in the lower left corner the pictures that were taken in the experiment), since the human eye unaided cannot resolve details it interprets them as motion, hence you see the horse like the camera is following him and shoting at the same time the horse was moving gave the impression the horse is always on frame. I hope I've helped you and have a nice day!! By the way Leland Won

[@WalnutSpice]

They shot this with I think it was 12 normal photo cameras, the horse set off individual shutters for each as it ran. The negatives were then stitched together to make this

[@RealStuntPanda]

Such a great question. As people have said the horse was shot by separate cameras where the horse would be framed in the exact same way as the previous camera and each camera was triggered when the horse entered the frame. This reminds me of how today we have practical effects (not CGI) in slow motion that rotate 360 degrees (think _The Matrix_ ). They do this by having a lot of high-speed, high-resolution cameras all around the actors with green screens behind them. Red Digital Cinema Camera Company pioneered this technique and is now the industry leader in amazing, insanely expensive, camera. But they couldn't have done it without Muybridge's pioneering work.

[@ImprovingAbility]

how did they trigger the cameras so precisely back then, no electronics, and I guess no trip wires either, how they do it?

[@GoldwaterB]

@@ImprovingAbility I believe trip wires were set up around the track; as the horse's legs hit a wire, it set off its respective camera. ...of course, I do wonder if there were "out-takes" and experiments that didn't work, before leading up to this incredible piece of film.

[@AbandonedVoid]

Maybe, actually, it depends on your age. If we're assuming you're about 18, then your mother is probably around 48, and her mother is probably around 78. Her mother would then be around 108, and her mother would be around 138. 138 years ago would be 1882, which is only about 4 years after this cinematic. But this is an average age estimate, and it could be off by about 15 years for each generation. Hypothetically, that means your grandmother's grandmother could have actually been born in 1822 which is a whole 56 years before this cinematic. But, to be fair, taking the minimal approach where you're 13 and everyone is a teenage mom, let's say at about 16, that would be 13+16(4) or only 77 years. That would mean your grandmother's grandmother is likely still alive, and born in 1943 during the second World War.
