BLOG QUESTION: CHRONOPHOTOGRAPHY

After reading this article and viewing the images that Marey captured, write a reflection on what you think Marey's motion studies contributed to the development of the motion picture. What makes his work so interesting?

by using the chronophotography technique, Marey played a huge role in the development of motion pictures. He would capture successive images on a single print, which showed how motion could be broken down and analyzed. His photographic gun, which was able to take 12 frames per second, inspired the motion studies of Harold Edgerton, and influenced the motion picture camera. He would mostly use animals such as birds, horses, and also people in motion. He would try to take all angles of the subjects. Based on the images he would get; he would make bronzes that showed the three dimensions of their movement.
