Physical Movement: Captured

The capture of motion and movement has been mesmerizing from the first time Eadweard Muybridge captured a galloping horse on film.

See his bio on MoMA.org
The videos below are a more modern way of exploring motion-capture. You'll notice that you can observe the more subtle movements of people (or animals') bodies when the motion is frozen or slowed down. 

This clip (and the photos) below are so neat: At first, I was unable to tell if the still sculptures were constructed, but they are in fact a digital capture of people in motion.
Taiwan design house JL Design and KORB produced this video.

Another video was released by director Michael Langan back in February called "Choros." You'll notice a more similar movement capture to Eaduard Muybridge's original motion capture (see below) because you can see individual frames; it's more of a fluid stop-motion than the video above, which is more sculptural.
