00:00:20,368 --> 00:00:22,457
Now, for our story.
2
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:24,676
Have you ever seen
a contraption like this?
3
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,157
Can you guess what it did?
4
00:00:27,201 --> 00:00:30,247
Well, unless you're a buff
on the history of photography,
5
00:00:30,291 --> 00:00:32,510
the answer to both questions
is probably "no."
6
00:00:32,554 --> 00:00:34,599
It's called
a "zoopraxiscope,"
7
00:00:34,643 --> 00:00:36,123
and it played a major role
8
00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:37,689
in the creation
of a great industry,
9
00:00:37,733 --> 00:00:39,300
at a turning point
in the life of the man
10
00:00:39,343 --> 00:00:42,520
who put it together,
way back in 1872.
11
00:00:42,564 --> 00:00:44,740
You'll see it work
in this strange, true story
12
00:00:44,783 --> 00:00:48,091
of a bet that was made
and won in San Francisco.
13
00:00:48,135 --> 00:00:49,310
We call it...
14
00:00:49,353 --> 00:00:52,400
"The $25,000 wager."
15
00:01:02,323 --> 00:01:03,411
[Horse snorts]
16
00:01:11,158 --> 00:01:14,074
Flora?
I thought it was you.
17
00:01:14,117 --> 00:01:15,510
Oh, hello, Frederick.
18
00:01:15,553 --> 00:01:17,294
Flora, please!
19
00:01:17,338 --> 00:01:19,427
Mr. Muybridge
is taking my picture.
20
00:01:19,470 --> 00:01:21,603
Who?
21
00:01:24,432 --> 00:01:26,129
You buffoon.
22
00:01:26,173 --> 00:01:28,262
Swing by your tail
for a while.
23
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:30,655
Frederick.
24
00:01:30,699 --> 00:01:33,180
Don't talk to him that way.
25
00:01:33,223 --> 00:01:34,572
He's asked me to marry him.
26
00:01:34,616 --> 00:01:37,401
So has every man
in San Francisco
27
00:01:37,445 --> 00:01:38,402
with good eyes,
28
00:01:38,446 --> 00:01:39,664
including me.
29
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:42,493
Well, I've accepted him.
30
00:01:42,537 --> 00:01:44,626
Flora.
31
00:01:44,669 --> 00:01:47,324
You can't.
32
00:01:49,326 --> 00:01:51,372
Look at this.
33
00:01:51,415 --> 00:01:53,287
And this.
34
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:56,377
These are diamonds,
real diamonds.
35
00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:59,293
I can buy them for you.
I want to.
36
00:01:59,336 --> 00:02:01,295
You'll be back in society.
37
00:02:01,338 --> 00:02:03,514
Back?
I was never in society.
38
00:02:03,558 --> 00:02:05,299
Sure you were.
39
00:02:05,342 --> 00:02:08,693
When George died, I was out.
Where were all those friends?
40
00:02:08,737 --> 00:02:10,304
The ones who never
missed our parties?
41
00:02:10,347 --> 00:02:13,394
I didn't drop them.
They dropped me.
42
00:02:13,437 --> 00:02:17,354
I've had my fill of society.
I want to be with people.
43
00:02:17,398 --> 00:02:20,270
But him?
He's not people.
44
00:02:20,314 --> 00:02:23,273
Even tries to look
like a fool.
45
00:02:23,317 --> 00:02:25,754
He has his reasons.
46
00:02:25,797 --> 00:02:29,845
For wearing those clothes?
For wearing those whiskers?
47
00:02:29,888 --> 00:02:33,588
I said he has his reasons,
and they're good enough for me.
48
00:02:33,631 --> 00:02:35,764
Flora, I'm ready.
49
00:02:35,807 --> 00:02:37,157
Well, I'm not.
50
00:02:39,507 --> 00:02:40,551
I've got it!
51
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:43,293
Frederick, please go.
52
00:02:43,337 --> 00:02:46,383
Not till you promise
not to marry him.
53
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:47,776
Not till you talk to me.
54
00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:55,305
I thought the clowns
left with the circus.
55
00:02:55,349 --> 00:02:57,220
The lady asked you to go.
56
00:02:57,264 --> 00:02:58,874
She doesn't really
want me to go.
57
00:02:58,917 --> 00:03:00,267
I do.
58
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:01,442
Now, leave or--
59
00:03:01,485 --> 00:03:03,792
or what?
60
00:03:03,835 --> 00:03:05,837
Oh, Eadweard!
61
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:16,239
Eadweard, hurry.
62
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:18,285
When the Governor gets here,
let him wait.
63
00:03:18,328 --> 00:03:20,809
It'll help him
to remember me.
64
00:03:20,852 --> 00:03:24,856
Uh, darling, Governor
Leland Stanford is here.
65
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:26,771
Won't you sit down?
He'll be right with you.
66
00:03:26,815 --> 00:03:28,338
Thank you.
67
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:32,299
Sugar?
No, thank you.
68
00:03:32,342 --> 00:03:34,301
I've never heard
the name "Eadweard."
69
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:35,432
Is he Welsh?
70
00:03:35,476 --> 00:03:38,305
No, my husband made it up.
71
00:03:38,348 --> 00:03:39,784
When he came to this country
from england,
72
00:03:39,828 --> 00:03:42,265
his name was
James Edward Muggeridge.
73
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:43,832
Nothing wrong with that.
74
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:45,268
Well, he wanted
something different,
75
00:03:45,312 --> 00:03:46,574
something people
would remember.
76
00:03:46,617 --> 00:03:49,751
You see, he feels he has
to make good in a hurry.
77
00:03:49,794 --> 00:03:52,275
For the past hundred years,
all the men in his family
78
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:54,277
have died young.
79
00:03:54,321 --> 00:03:55,800
Doesn't mean that he will.
80
00:03:55,844 --> 00:03:57,933
No, but he wants to make sure
81
00:03:57,976 --> 00:04:00,283
he has time to do
something important.
82
00:04:00,327 --> 00:04:01,676
And he will.
83
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:04,853
He has a hundred ideas
for making better cameras.
84
00:04:04,896 --> 00:04:07,290
Well, he feels that
if people remember him,
85
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:08,596
if he becomes famous,
86
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,946
he can charge higher fees,
close the studio,
87
00:04:10,989 --> 00:04:12,339
and work on those ideas.
88
00:04:12,382 --> 00:04:14,297
He'll do it, too.
89
00:04:14,341 --> 00:04:15,429
I'm sure he will.
90
00:04:26,004 --> 00:04:28,311
I gather my new coat
startles you.
91
00:04:28,355 --> 00:04:30,313
Your wife was
just telling me
92
00:04:30,357 --> 00:04:33,577
you want to stand out
from the crowd.
93
00:04:33,621 --> 00:04:36,450
I'm not in the crowd,
Governor.
94
00:04:36,493 --> 00:04:39,322
My husband is the world's
greatest photographer.
95
00:04:39,366 --> 00:04:40,932
I'll agree to that.
96
00:04:40,976 --> 00:04:44,240
I saw the pictures you took
in Alaska and at Yosemite.
97
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,329
That's not enough.
98
00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:48,462
I've got to do something
that no one else has ever done.
99
00:04:48,505 --> 00:04:50,768
Big, important,
100
00:04:50,812 --> 00:04:52,335
unforgettable.
101
00:04:52,379 --> 00:04:54,859
Well, with the drive that
you've got inside of you,
102
00:04:54,903 --> 00:04:57,340
and this lovely lady
to help you,
103
00:04:57,384 --> 00:04:58,994
you might make it.
104
00:04:59,037 --> 00:05:00,430
Meanwhile,
why haven't you answered
105
00:05:00,474 --> 00:05:01,649
my letters about taking
106
00:05:01,692 --> 00:05:03,999
some pictures
of my horse Occident?
107
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:06,349
People have seen
lots of horses.
108
00:05:06,393 --> 00:05:08,003
Not like Occident.
109
00:05:08,046 --> 00:05:09,613
He's not just a horse.
110
00:05:09,657 --> 00:05:12,355
He's the greatest
trotting horse on earth.
111
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:13,922
He deserves to have
his pictures taken
112
00:05:13,965 --> 00:05:17,317
by the world's greatest
photographer.
113
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,622
Oh. [Chuckles]
114
00:05:18,666 --> 00:05:21,016
No wonder
they elected you Governor.
115
00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:22,452
[Chuckles]
I'll think about it.
116
00:05:22,496 --> 00:05:23,671
No time for that.
117
00:05:23,714 --> 00:05:25,977
I'm leaving
for Sacramento tonight
118
00:05:26,021 --> 00:05:28,980
to see my horse Occident
race against Silver King.
119
00:05:29,024 --> 00:05:31,331
Silver King?
120
00:05:31,374 --> 00:05:33,507
That's Frederick
MacCrellish's horse.
121
00:05:34,551 --> 00:05:37,337
MacCrellish?
Is he a friend of yours?
122
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:40,644
On the contrary.
Friend of yours?
123
00:05:40,688 --> 00:05:44,344
Oh. On the contrary.
124
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:49,827
I'll take Occident's picture
on one condition.
125
00:05:49,871 --> 00:05:51,394
You name it.
126
00:05:51,438 --> 00:05:53,614
That he beats
Fred MacCrellish.
127
00:05:53,657 --> 00:05:56,356
[Chuckles]
I mean, Silver King.
128
00:06:04,059 --> 00:06:06,017
Occident looks ready.
129
00:06:06,061 --> 00:06:07,976
He is beautiful.
130
00:06:29,432 --> 00:06:31,869
Hey, Flora!
131
00:06:31,913 --> 00:06:35,960
And my old sparring partner.
How are you, buddy?
132
00:06:36,004 --> 00:06:39,529
Come on over and sit
with the owner of the winner.
133
00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:41,401
We are sitting with him.
134
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:46,362
Put your money
where your mouth is.
135
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:49,017
Come on.
You like Occident?
136
00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:50,497
Bet on him. How much?
137
00:06:53,717 --> 00:06:56,894
How about you, Governor?
A little man-to-man wager?
138
00:06:56,938 --> 00:06:59,375
Say, $5,000?
139
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:01,508
I bet on people,
not horses.
140
00:07:01,551 --> 00:07:03,423
[Man]
There they go.
141
00:07:12,606 --> 00:07:14,477
That's driving him, Charlie!
142
00:07:14,521 --> 00:07:15,478
Let him go!
143
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,919
Look at that Silver King.
Look at him go.
144
00:07:21,963 --> 00:07:24,008
Come on, Occident!
145
00:07:30,537 --> 00:07:32,800
It's a cakewalk, Charlie!
146
00:07:32,843 --> 00:07:34,062
A cakewalk!
147
00:07:44,551 --> 00:07:45,552
Hey, Governor,
148
00:07:45,595 --> 00:07:48,163
when's your animal
start running?
149
00:07:48,206 --> 00:07:50,470
Drive him, Charlie!
Drive him!
150
00:07:54,517 --> 00:07:58,173
All the way, Charlie!
All the way!
151
00:08:01,742 --> 00:08:04,048
Here comes Occident.
152
00:08:04,092 --> 00:08:06,137
Hang on, Charlie!
153
00:08:06,181 --> 00:08:08,183
Come on! Come on!
154
00:08:22,806 --> 00:08:24,155
Ya-hoo!
155
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,201
That was wonderful.
Congratulations, Governor.
156
00:08:26,244 --> 00:08:28,551
Occident deserves them,
not me.
157
00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:30,205
He's a magnificent animal.
158
00:08:30,248 --> 00:08:32,120
Remember, you've got
to take his picture.
159
00:08:32,163 --> 00:08:33,338
I will.
160
00:08:33,382 --> 00:08:35,166
Now, this is gonna
be an important picture.
161
00:08:35,210 --> 00:08:37,691
People will remember it,
if you can catch that vigor,
162
00:08:37,734 --> 00:08:39,649
that animal vitality
occident had,
163
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:40,781
coming down the stretch.
164
00:08:40,824 --> 00:08:42,478
He was flying.
165
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:45,133
Sure. He has wings.
166
00:08:45,176 --> 00:08:46,830
His feet never touched
the ground.
167
00:08:47,831 --> 00:08:50,094
There are times
when they don't.
168
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:52,880
What holds them up?
169
00:08:52,923 --> 00:08:55,752
I told you he was a nut.
170
00:08:55,796 --> 00:08:58,233
Muybridge,
I believe you're right.
171
00:08:58,276 --> 00:09:00,583
Okay.
172
00:09:00,627 --> 00:09:04,152
You say you bet on people.
Prove it.
173
00:09:04,195 --> 00:09:06,458
I say he's wrong.
174
00:09:06,502 --> 00:09:08,243
Let's make it interesting.
175
00:09:08,286 --> 00:09:11,638
I've got $25,000
that also says...
176
00:09:11,681 --> 00:09:12,943
You're both wrong.
177
00:09:12,987 --> 00:09:15,076
Can you take a picture
of Occident
178
00:09:15,119 --> 00:09:17,513
with all his hooves
off the ground?
179
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:18,601
Maybe.
180
00:09:18,645 --> 00:09:19,733
Now, it all depends on--
181
00:09:19,776 --> 00:09:21,691
come on, Stanford.

Let's put up or shut up.
183
00:09:24,651 --> 00:09:26,653
Mr. MacCrellish,
I do bet on people.
184
00:09:26,696 --> 00:09:28,176
You have a wager.
185
00:09:34,182 --> 00:09:36,140
Everything in order?
186
00:09:36,184 --> 00:09:38,490
Almost.
Good.
187
00:09:38,534 --> 00:09:41,232
You know, every time I come
to Palo Alto, this farm,
188
00:09:41,276 --> 00:09:43,147
I'm tempted to move
my office down here.

Let him run himself tired!
195
00:10:11,698 --> 00:10:14,962
Muybridge, you can't scare
a horse like that, not my horse.
196
00:10:15,005 --> 00:10:17,051
I'm sorry, Governor,
but I need that much light.
197
00:10:17,094 --> 00:10:18,443
Get it some other way.
198
00:10:18,487 --> 00:10:21,142

to win your bet for you.

00:10:22,796 --> 00:10:26,713
You're right, Mrs. Muybridge.
I apologize to both of you.
201
00:10:31,195 --> 00:10:32,153
He'll be right out.
202
00:10:32,196 --> 00:10:33,328
Fine.
203
00:10:33,371 --> 00:10:36,157
He'd better not be later
than 3:00.
204
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,900
That's the deadline.
Two minutes from now.
205
00:10:39,943 --> 00:10:42,119
Well, Eadweard's
been working on it
for a whole month.
206
00:10:42,163 --> 00:10:44,687
A minute or two more
can't make any difference.
207
00:10:44,731 --> 00:10:46,167
It will to him.

Thank you.
213
00:11:02,052 --> 00:11:04,011
You'll be remembered
for this!
214
00:11:04,054 --> 00:11:07,144
Why, you've not only built
a better, faster camera,
215
00:11:07,188 --> 00:11:09,581
you've shaken
the entire world of art!

really important.

You've added knowledge
to the world.

to admit it, now?

Where's the negative of this?
223

What's the difference?
224
00:11:25,728 --> 00:11:28,165
You can see all four hooves
are off the ground.
225
00:11:28,209 --> 00:11:30,167
Yes, but these hooves
don't look right.

How do I know he didn't
retouch the negative?

I did.

Sure, but only to make
the hooves come out clearer.

Can you make a picture like this
without any retouching?
232
00:11:50,231 --> 00:11:52,755
I'd have to invent
an even faster shutter
233
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:55,845
to keep the hooves
from blurring.

a few more days?

Did he give me
a few more days?
237
00:12:01,198 --> 00:12:03,897
Before I knew it,
his trains were taking ice
from the mountains,
238
00:12:03,940 --> 00:12:05,812
and putting my wagons
out of business.

That's why
you won't do it.
241
00:12:10,338 --> 00:12:13,210
All right. You want
a one-week extension?
242
00:12:13,254 --> 00:12:14,734
That might be enough.
243
00:12:14,777 --> 00:12:17,171
You've got it,
on one condition.

I want the whole city,
the entire country,

to be judges.

about your crazy idea.

enough room here.

do you want a tip?
297
00:14:44,448 --> 00:14:48,191
You and Stanford say
Occident is smart enough to fly.
298
00:14:48,235 --> 00:14:51,891
If he is,
why don't you let him
take his own picture?

his own picture!

These vertical lines
are two foot apart.
303
00:15:23,444 --> 00:15:26,838
This horizontal line
is a foot-and-a-half up.
304
00:15:26,882 --> 00:15:29,972
So, if our picture shows
a continuous line,
305
00:15:30,016 --> 00:15:32,148
it proves all four hooves
306
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:34,977
were at least that high
off the ground.
307
00:15:35,021 --> 00:15:37,588
Now, about this yarn,
308
00:15:37,632 --> 00:15:41,070
as Occident hits
and breaks each yarn,
309
00:15:41,114 --> 00:15:42,289
thus...
310
00:15:47,381 --> 00:15:51,167
The yarn will snap the shutter
on the corresponding camera.
311
00:15:51,211 --> 00:15:53,474
Now, this way,
we'll get a dozen pictures
312
00:15:53,517 --> 00:15:55,867
in the two-thirds
of a second
313
00:15:55,911 --> 00:15:58,174
it takes Occident
to run 24 feet.
314
00:15:58,218 --> 00:15:59,567
Wonderful!
315
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:02,091
Now, at some place
in those 24 feet,
316
00:16:02,135 --> 00:16:03,571
there will be
at least one point
317
00:16:03,614 --> 00:16:05,355
where all his hooves
will be off the ground.

I don't care what it costs.
332
00:16:55,188 --> 00:16:58,147

it'll teach people something
they never knew.

it completes
the electric circuit

357
00:18:23,450 --> 00:18:24,712
How do you do?
How do you do?
358
00:18:24,755 --> 00:18:26,627
I'm supposed to be one
of the judges on Monday,
359
00:18:26,670 --> 00:18:28,019
if you show up.
360
00:18:28,063 --> 00:18:30,109
Well, of course
I'll show up.
361
00:18:30,152 --> 00:18:32,198
You will? Why?
362
00:18:32,241 --> 00:18:34,156
Because he's made
the picture.
363
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,549
See for yourself.
364
00:18:38,204 --> 00:18:40,162
That's a great job.
Thank you.
365
00:18:40,206 --> 00:18:42,686
And really looks legitimate.
366
00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:45,211
If MacCrellish hadn't told us
about that other retouched job,
367
00:18:45,254 --> 00:18:47,343
this sure would
have convinced me.
368
00:18:47,387 --> 00:18:49,432
Looks like all his hooves
really are off the ground.
369
00:18:49,476 --> 00:18:51,260
They are!
That picture's not retouched.
370
00:18:51,304 --> 00:18:53,393
Sure.
I'll show you the negative.
371
00:18:54,785 --> 00:18:57,179
Muybridge,
I write the funny stuff
for The Bulletin.
372
00:18:57,223 --> 00:18:59,050
The nut stories.
373
00:18:59,094 --> 00:19:00,574
You know, about, uh...
374
00:19:00,617 --> 00:19:04,186
People that invent a machine
that can add and subtract.
375
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:06,536
People that have ideas
about building a bridge
376
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:08,190
across San Francisco bay.
377
00:19:08,234 --> 00:19:10,540
I got them all,
so don't try to kid me.
378
00:19:10,584 --> 00:19:12,063
He's not kidding you.
379
00:19:12,107 --> 00:19:14,240
The picture's not retouched.
He told you that.
380
00:19:14,283 --> 00:19:16,198
My husband is not a liar.
381
00:19:16,242 --> 00:19:18,766
All right.
You really believe it.
382
00:19:18,809 --> 00:19:20,637
Fine. That's my story.
383
00:19:20,681 --> 00:19:21,682
What story?
384
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:25,251
Man convinces wife
horses can fly.
385
00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:30,038
See you Monday.
386
00:19:30,081 --> 00:19:31,561
[Door closes]
387
00:19:35,783 --> 00:19:39,221
If he thinks it's a trick,
the others will, too.
388
00:19:39,265 --> 00:19:41,223
Maybe not.
Maybe?
389
00:19:41,267 --> 00:19:42,572
Maybe?
390
00:19:42,616 --> 00:19:44,444
That's not good enough.
391
00:19:44,487 --> 00:19:47,142
Darling,
I'm 35 years old.
392
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:49,231
If I miss this chance,
I may not live to--
393
00:19:49,275 --> 00:19:50,450
you didn't miss it.
394
00:19:50,493 --> 00:19:52,234
But if they don't believe me,
395
00:19:52,278 --> 00:19:54,802
if they think it's another
retouching trick or--
396
00:19:54,845 --> 00:19:58,458
you were brilliant enough
to do what you set out to do.
397
00:19:58,501 --> 00:20:01,548
Now, I-I know you'll
be brilliant enough
398
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:03,202
to find a way to prove it.
399
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:05,247
Clear the table.
I'll get some tea.
400
00:20:11,819 --> 00:20:13,255
[Sighs]
401
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:24,571
Maybe we can prove it.
402
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,753
[Indistinct chatter]
403
00:20:40,151 --> 00:20:42,197
[People laughing]
404
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:44,243
All right, boys,
here he is.
405
00:20:46,157 --> 00:20:47,768
Glad all of you got here.
406
00:20:47,811 --> 00:20:50,249
You think there's any chance
of the Governor winning the bet?
407
00:20:50,292 --> 00:20:54,078
Sure. Stanford has
a lot of political influence.
408
00:20:54,122 --> 00:20:57,125
Maybe he got Sacramento
to repeal the law of gravity.
409
00:20:57,168 --> 00:20:58,779
[All laugh]
410
00:20:58,822 --> 00:21:00,520
I hope you brought the money.
411
00:21:00,563 --> 00:21:03,479
I did, but I don't think
I'll need it.
412
00:21:03,523 --> 00:21:05,220
The Governor's going
to win the bet.
413
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:06,656
Eadweard can prove
he's right.
414
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,528
Where is old whiskers?
415
00:21:08,571 --> 00:21:10,704
He went home
to change his clothes.
416
00:21:10,747 --> 00:21:14,360
He was up all night
finishing this machine.
417
00:21:14,403 --> 00:21:16,318
Can I look?
418
00:21:16,362 --> 00:21:19,278
I don't think Eadweard
would mind.
419
00:21:23,238 --> 00:21:24,587
Can this thing fly, too?
420
00:21:24,631 --> 00:21:26,763
Excuse me, Gentlemen.
421
00:21:26,807 --> 00:21:29,244
Excuse me.
422
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:31,594
Let him see
the whole thing.
423
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:38,253
Muybridge, you'll be remembered
for inventing this thing.
424
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:40,255
The first bicycle
that can't move.
425
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:42,301
[All laugh]
426
00:21:45,521 --> 00:21:48,132
I call it
a "zoopraxiscope."
427
00:21:48,176 --> 00:21:50,439
And you'd better
remember that name.
428
00:21:50,483 --> 00:21:54,269
It's going
to cost you $25,000.
429
00:21:54,313 --> 00:21:57,794
Shaving sure
has made you cocky.
430
00:21:57,838 --> 00:22:01,276
I'm not cocky.
I'm satisfied.
431
00:22:02,277 --> 00:22:04,323
How does it work?
If it does.
432
00:22:05,672 --> 00:22:07,848
Attached to this glass wheel
433
00:22:07,891 --> 00:22:10,590
are negatives
of the full set of pictures.
434
00:22:10,633 --> 00:22:14,420
Now, the light will shine
through this slot
435
00:22:14,463 --> 00:22:17,292
and project onto
that white surface.
436
00:22:19,207 --> 00:22:21,383
Now, if any of you
have any questions
437
00:22:21,427 --> 00:22:22,689
after the demonstration,
438
00:22:22,732 --> 00:22:24,560
I'll answer them.
439
00:22:24,604 --> 00:22:27,258
Take your seats, gentlemen.
440
00:22:36,442 --> 00:22:37,747
Oh, MacCrellish?
441
00:22:37,791 --> 00:22:39,227
And you too, Neal.
442
00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:41,316
Before you sit down,
turn out the lights.
443
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,318
I'm not the janitor.
444
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:45,407
You want to see it work,
don't you?
445
00:23:05,340 --> 00:23:06,733
[MacCrellish]
It's not flying.
446
00:23:06,776 --> 00:23:08,430
[Muybridge]
That's the first picture.
447
00:23:08,474 --> 00:23:11,259
Now, I'm going to spin
the glass wheel.
448
00:23:26,274 --> 00:23:27,362
I don't believe it.
449
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:28,363
I do.
450
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:29,712
So do I.
451
00:23:29,756 --> 00:23:32,236
[All applaud]
452
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,283
And so do I. Pay me.
453
00:23:45,815 --> 00:23:48,992
Well, Mr. Muybridge,
it cost me $200,000
454
00:23:49,036 --> 00:23:51,734
to collect $25,000,
but it's worth it.
455
00:23:51,778 --> 00:23:53,997
I've paid more
for old master paintings.
456
00:23:54,041 --> 00:23:57,261
You've just done
what no other artist
ever did in history.
457
00:23:57,305 --> 00:23:59,568
You've made pictures move!
