Sull’opera
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.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di Etienne Jules Marey
Tutta la vita1869–1904
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.
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.
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.
