how did eadweard muybridge capture the animated motion of the horse in motion?
a he created a montage of brief shots to emphasize the horses movement.
b he lined up still cameras that photographed the horse as it ran by.
c he experimented with black - and - white and color images of the horse.
d he used a film camera and an electric motor to project 16 frames per second.

Explanation:

Eadweard Muybridge lined up multiple still cameras along a track. As the horse ran by, each camera was triggered (initially with trip - wires) to take a photograph at a slightly different moment in the horse's motion. By sequencing these still images, he was able to study and show the horse's motion. Option A is incorrect as it was not a montage of brief shots in the sense of a modern - style montage. Option C about black - and - white and color is not relevant to capturing the motion. Option D is incorrect as he did not use a film camera and electric motor in the way described for this particular work.

Answer:

B. He lined up still cameras that photographed the horse as it ran by.
