Meanwhile, in the life of Etienne Jules Marey
The whole life1869–1904
Employed by: Collège de France
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.
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.
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.
1890
Publishes “Le Vol des oiseaux”
He publishes a substantial volume, “Le Vol des oiseaux” (“The Flight of Birds”), illustrated with photographs, drawings and diagrams. He also made precise sculptures of flying birds.
