English photographer Eadweard Muybridge was born #OTD in 1830.
Muybridge is known for his pioneering chronophotography of animal locomotion between 1878 and 1886, which used multiple cameras to capture the different positions in a stride; and for his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting painted motion pictures from glass discs that predated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography.
Been putting it off because #RogueOne is easily a favourite and I just wasn’t sure if I want to give this series a shot.
#Cinematography was stunning - the whole series was subtle, powerful, and full of nuance
I’m so glad that it wasn’t all about the glitter and glam of the action but instead such a multi-layered character-building feast of people and their relationships to one another.
The built-in #video#converter in #NeoFinder 8.5 can now "pass-through" both or either Video and Audio, to move the selected data unchanged to the exported movie file.
So, if you have the #Apple Pro Video Codecs are installed on your Mac, the integrated video player in #NeoFinder can play Sony MXF video files! Pretty cool!
