I just had a dream about this guy. I woke up, checked my email, go to MeFi and voila... It's kind of a weird deja vu.

Anyway, thanks for the link.

Lovely stuff, thanks plep and raygirvan - and a legitimate use of animated gifs! See also the work of Etienne-Jules Marey.

If you can find Rhythmus 94, grab it -- a lovely Austrian short featuring Muybridge's pictures re-animated and set to music.
