5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive Guide to Human Motion 17 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This unique study of motion showing not just the basic forms of movement using "perfect" models highlights the different ways in which people of all shapes and sizes move in different ways to achieve the same function. The technical skill employed to capture the sequences using multiple cameras and trip wires shows a skill way ahead of its time in addition to the honest and frank portrayal of the human form in its natural state. If you are an artist, or 3D Modeller then this book should be a part of your reference collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motion Broken Down 27 Mar 2000
By Susy S. Chan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As an artist and beginning animator, I have found Muybridge's motion studies to be helpful in understanding how the body travels in time (animals and machines too) using time-lapse photography. This book remains current and comprehensive especially in light of the current digital revolution's emphasis on special effects and eye candy. Muybridge's work is important because it goes to the roots of motion and reveals its simplicity and beauty. I highly recommend this fascinating book for those with curious minds.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic book, but no animals... 27 Feb 2003
By Ivan Dewolf - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
if you are interested in clear depictions of humans in motion,
it is interesting that the absolute best work on the subject comes from the late 1800s. If you are interested in animal locomotion, get another book. I am assuming that the other 2 volumes will someday become available, making this a true "complete" study.
perhaps someone will update Muybridges work in the interim.
