Marey's Motion Studies

 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?

What was so interesting about Marey, was that he shot his photos through a gun. This allowed him to get 12 frames per second, and photograph fast events in a stop-motion like manner. His photographic gun had a revolving cylinder with photographic plates. This invention, invented in 1882, would then influence the motion picture camera. I can imagine that this is the closest people got before the invention of actual film, because they shot an imagine in 12 fps.
