What is the curtain Ritchie experiment?

Motion recording and motion image experiment.

The curtain Ritchie experiment refers to setting up 24 darkrooms along the road where horses run. There are 24 photographers in these darkrooms. After all the 24 cameras are installed, let the horse run on the runway. At the moment when the horseshoe breaks the rope on the runway, the running posture of the horse is photographed.

In the development of photography, animation and film, there is always one person who will be mentioned and has made great contributions to the film industry, and that is Edward Corden Ritchie.

1872, when an American rich man and his friend were running around the horse, they had an argument over whether their hooves landed. They bet that the rich man invited the photographer Edward Mulbrich to shoot running horses continuously. 1878, the experiment was successful. The rich man and his friend won a bet, and Edward Corden Ritchie also got a patent for inventing continuous shooting's device.
