Yeah.

But when you've got a four or five meter long stride...

This is Edward Muybridge.

So the origin of cinema was a bet as to whether or not, whilst running, a horse had all four feet off the ground.

And no one really knew this for sure.

And a guy called Edward Muybridge, he was British, but he was living in the States.

He was a keen photographer.

And he basically did what people have seen the Wachowskis do for the Matrix.

He set up a whole row of cameras and set up a whole bunch of triggers and had a horse run through them.

So it took loads of photos.

And lo and behold, in one of them, the feet are off the ground.

The guy won his bet.

But he also realized that we already had things like zoopraxiscopes, you know, the little thing you spin with a slit.

So you see that, right.

So he did that with horses.

And now you have a moving photograph.

And that's pretty much the origin of cinema was a bet about biomechanics.

All right.

There's two big things to weigh up, which are going to be interesting, which is would they even consider us dinosaurs?
