==Motion picture works== Anschütz made many chronophotography series and adapted at least 60 of them for the Elektrotachyscope. He started with chronophotography studies of horses for the military in 1885. In 1888, he made motion studies of animals in the [[Wrocław Zoo|Breslau Zoo]]. He also recorded acrobats, dancers, athletes, boxers, wrestlers, sports and horse races. Already more an artistic and skilful photographer than a scientist, he chose different subjects when he started commercially exploiting the Schnellseher as an attraction. He recorded several comical scenes based on everyday life, including ''Lustige Fahrt (Funny Journey)'', ''Zwei ZimmerleuteFrüstückend (Two Carpenters Breakfasting)'', ''Familie essend aus einem Topfe (Family Eating from a Single Bowl)'', ''Raufende Jungen (Boys Fighting)'',''Zwei Herrn eine Prize Schnupftabak nehmend (Two Men Taking a Pinch of Snuff)'', ''Einseifen beim Barbier (Latherin Up at The Barber's)'',''Tabakschnupfender Alter (Old Man Taking Snuff)'' and ''Skatspieler (Card Players)''.<ref name=copycats/> Little of Anschütz' motion picture output has yet resurfaced. Although many examples of his printed chronophotography survived, all that could be found (as of 2016) from his later entertainment-oriented work was a fuzzy image with three card players as seen in a detail of a 1926 photograph of a home model automat Schnellseher.<ref name=copycats/>
