Eadweard Muybridge was born 9th April 1830 and died 8th May 1904. He was an English photographer best known for his work which captures motion. The photographs are a series of pictures which show something happening. His work is usually titled, usualy after what is happening. He started producing work about 1861 and continued until he died. His work shows movement and action and the subject is usually and animal or a person. The images haven't been digitally minpulated as when he produced his work the technology needed to manipulate pictures hadn't been invented. In his work the subject is always clear, in the centre of the picture and usually in the foreground. The number of pictures in a series changes but his work shows movement and action well when the photographs are shown in a sequence. His work reminds me of Zoetropes as his work could be viewed on one of them. I like his work and would defiantly want to try taking a series of pictures to show motion and then attempt to make a zoetrope as I think they are clever and imaginative. I think his work relates to the motion pictures we were asked to take because his work was some of the first motion pictures to ever be taken. My work is similar to his work by the fact that something is happening. However his work was produced on film.

Final Cut Pro
To add images to Final Cut Pro select them and drag them into this box. This will allow you to drag the pictures into the timeline.
This is the timeline, you can drag pictures into this box to create your sequence.
Once you have dragged the pictures into the timeline, you can then click the play button on these screens to view how that video to will look once you have put it together properly.
Once you have got a sequence which you have put together you can then 'Nest' the items by clicking 'Sequence' then by clicking 'Nest' items. This will put the images together. And if like me, your pictures were taken in portrait; you can now change the the video to the way around you want, by selecting the video in the box where you would view the video, go to the corner and rotate the video.
You can now add music. You can do this by dragging a track into the box which you dragged the pictures into, then dragging the music into the bar below the bar which you dragged your pictures into. Once you press play now the video might beep instead of play the video; also you will see a red line on top of the timeline box. This means that the video needs rendering.
To render a video you click 'Sequence', 'Render All' then click 'Both'.
To add text to a picture go to the first video box. At the bottom of this, there is a box with an 'A' on it. Click this and a set of options will appear click 'Text' then click 'Text' again.
Once you have selected Text, this box will come up. Here you can choose what you want to write and what it will look like on the video.
Once you have decided this, click back onto Video and drag this onto the timeline like a picture.
Once you have added music, you can add a final touch to make your video, to make fade out. You can do this by clicking 'Effects' then click 'Default - Cross Fade (+3dB)'. This will bring your video to a slow end instead of just stopping and cutting off feeling like it hasn't finished yet.

The White Stripes - "Fell in Love with a Girl" Sympathy for the Record I...
I really like this video and I definitely want to use lego in a stop motion video. I think if I use a tripod the process could be quite easy and the final video would be clear and smooth.
Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall
I like this video as it is clear and imaginative. It shows movement happening well without it being jumpy and something moving to far to quickly. I would like to try some stop motion like this as the final piece would last longer, also I would have to take lots of photos and then decide which to use and finally edit into a video which I think would be harder with this many photos.
