"Considered as the founding father of the cinematographic technique, this French physiologist invented the first chronophotographic camera outfitted with a time obturator. From 1880, he investigated and perfected, on behalf of the War Ministry, the first basic rules for the study of motion using instruments; among other things, he analyzed the way a man and a horse walk. For his experiments, he had a 10-meter deep and wide black backdrop built in a hangar and covered it with tar and black velvet. To Marey, chronophotography translates attitudes produced in consecutive moments as if they were simultaneous; he liked to say that his images were intended for the soul and not the senses." http://www.lineature.com/en/motion/169-chronophotograph-marey-11.html undefined
