Action Replayed!: How Watching Sport Changed the Way We See the World
The emergence and global dissemination of the new medium of photography notably coincided with the rise of organized sport in the modern world. Contrary to popular perception, sport was one of the earliest themes embraced by early photographers, although limitations in early photographic technology inevitably restricted the possibility for capturing sporting action.
Significantly, it was a strong desire to achieve this goal that motivated some of the earliest attempts to animate photographic images into coherent sequences, thus allowing the detailed study of sporting motion. At the same time this work opened a new field facilitating the use of animated imagery to study and perfect training regimes and protocols for high performance athletes. The paper will look at the impact of sport on the early development of chronophotography considering the impact this had on subsequent developments within animation and sport.
