Go.
1.4.
1.4.
It wants to be faster.
Number three...
Three wants more distance.
Or something crawling under the wire.
Gentlemen and ladies,
the extraordinary,
the incomparable,
the father of photography,
I give you Mr. Eadweard Muybridge!
Thank you.
I don't really have much to say...
I only wanted to show you this.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
This... is life.
Only to be repeated again
and again,
and again...
And again.
Thank you.
You just showed them magic.
I'm simply a photographer.
Well, I've dabbled,
and ask my wife,
my photos of our hounds
are definitely not magic.
Let me ask you something.
What made you think of using 12 cameras?
12 chances to win Stanford's bet.
- And all over a bet you've
discovered motion? - Discovered?
- Now, how do you discover something
that's always been? - True.
I'm just an amateur, but you know what
would make your images even better?
No, I don't.
The sound of the hooves.
Hooves?
Now, why would we need that?
That's life.
It's the opera.
"Neigh!"
Right, well...
Tom.
Edison.
Edison.
And this is...
Flora.
Missus?
Flora.
I came to hire Mr. Muybridge
to take my portrait.
Ah, well, I only do horses.
Surely photographing a lady
is easier than a horse.
Indeed.
Or I could gallop, if that would
make you more comfortable.
You know, when I was little,
my father...
when I was little, my father taught
me how to use a pinhole camera.
have rivalled these.
Where was this one?
North Alaska.
Really Alaska?
Or British Columbia.
I want to go there.
Let me see.
Yes, that's British Columbia.
I can smell the air there.
Those are chemicals.
It's so fresh.
Hmm.
That...
That right there, is now gone.
What is?
That moment. I missed it.
Everything slips by,
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
- I want to capture it,
before it's all gone. - Sit.
I...
Would like to see the in- between,
to see what's invisible.
I can't stop,
and it's never enough.
When is enough enough?
I couldn't tell you.
I always seem to want more.
Do you know what I mean?
Yes, I do.
Good.
If I could keep a camera on you, Flora,
for the rest of your life...
Yes, that's better.
I've decided
I'm not going to grow old.
It's repulsive.
Smile.
It's all right.
Eadweard?
It's done.
Hey, Eadweard, come here.
Magnesium.
I used too much magnesium.
Yes. Magnificent.
You're watching me.
I couldn't sleep.
Try harder.
I can't stop looking at you.
This line here, those lines there,
these lines...
You have good bones.
I can't stop looking at this line,
this line, these lines.
Stop. Stop...
Hello?
What are you doing?
Saying hello to my boy.
A boy?
Yes.
There's no one there.
You're as crazy as all get out.
Eadweard, I have to fess up,
after I saw you take those horse photos,
I travelled all the way
from San Francisco to here,
plotting different ways
to be alone with you,
and then I just came up and asked.
Is that strange?
Perhaps.
- Well, you're probably a bad
judge of strange. - Yes.
Where are we going next?
You are married.
I can marry again.
I was young, I was 16.
I can pick my life now, I know that.
You can?
Eadweard, I am the most
interesting person
you have ever met,
and I'm yours...
And you're all mine.
The end.
The end.
So white...
Mister clouds.
What is all this?
Why did it happen?
I didn't shave.
No...
What?
I hate that you make me ask.
Your hair.
Changing color, turning white?
Maybe you just got old instantly.
Perhaps.
Don't make much sense.
There was a boy
travelling with his
father on the stagecoach.
And that boy lost his father that day...
And that boy is all
that's left of that man.
Hey, easy, girl, easy!
I woke up...
Maybe days later.
I'd lost my sense of taste,
my smell, and sight.
But it all slowly came back...
Except the color of my hair.
I don't know if my mind
ever recovered, Flora.
was that horse running,
that flying horse...
As if time stopped.
So, no, I do not know
why things happen.
Only God knows.
Yes.
I'd like to sit by the window, please.
Of course.
After you.
Thank you.
Yes.
Inside this book
you will only find what a word means.
With your hard- earned money, I know
what a dollar means in sweat and work,
I will create the world's
first encyclopedia of motion,
and show the actions beneath the words.
I intend to photograph animal locomotion
to discover how we move.
Animals running?
Yes, and walking, and jumping...
I will not only photograph horses,
and domestic animals, and wild beasts,
but people, like yourselves,
men and women
during their daily
activities and actions.
How much do you need, Muybridge?
$50,000.
- 50,000! Preposterous!
- Come on!
This is art, not science.
Eadweard... Where are you going?
To another university.
They'll only ask you the same questions.
No one knows what you're trying to do.
You need to show them.
If I get the money, I
could produce the photos.
If you produce the photos,
they'll give you your money.
Listen, I can give you apprentices,
and facilities to get it started,
so we can see the result.
Those photographs will be my photographs,
with my name on them.
They may be your photographs,
but this is my university,
my reputation,
so these photos will represent us.
Do I make myself clear?
