His work laid the foundation for the development of cinematography by proving that motion could be captured and studied. One of his more major breakthroughs was his Horse Gallop experiment. He wanted to prove whether or not all four hooves of a horse left the ground while galloping. It was significant because he did manage to photograph a horse in motion and he proved that all four hooves do leave the ground. The part I found most interesting about the story was the publics reaction to his discoveries, as they did not believe him. I think that the debate was intense and its interesting to see what kind of scientific controversies were happening during that era.
