Om værket

Marey’s photography lies at the intersection of science, technology, and photography. In 1890, he published a hefty study of birds in full flight: Le Vol des Oiseaux. The book is full of his research experiments, anatomical drawings of birds, mathematical formulas, and tables.

Imens i livet hos Etienne Jules Marey

Hele livet
  1. 1869–1904

    Employed by: Collège de France

  2. 1880s

    Develops chronophotography

    He develops animated photography into a separate field, chronophotography; his revolutionary idea is to record several phases of a movement on a single photographic surface.

  3. 1885

    Mentions playing the animation back with the phenakistiscope

    He notes that the animation recorded by his gun could be played back with a phenakistiscope.

  4. 1889

    Creates the chronophotographe film camera

    He develops the chronophotographe camera, which takes images on film at even spacing; he cannot play the images back, however, because he cannot advance the film evenly between frames.

  5. 1889

    Edison visits Marey

    Edison visits Marey and solves the problem of advancing the frames evenly with a sprocketed film-advance mechanism, working together with W. L. Dickson.
