Thursday, 9 January 2003Chronophotography, Étienne-Jules Marey and film history
Chronophotographical Projections. »Our concept of time has been changed by the work of chronophotographers as it has done to those living in the era. Chronophotography is the name Étienne-Jules Marey (1882) uses to describe the time (chronos) photographs of movement sequences. For Marey his chronophotographs are a means to dissect, otherwise invisible stages of movement, for study. This is also true for the other chronophotographers although not always purely scientific.« [kellerkind bogenallee 11]
Der Schockwellenreiter mentions "unser Projekt" which includes pages about Étienne Jules Marey and a growing collection (up to 85 now) of instruments constructed by Marey.
SWR also points to one of his older links relevant to this story: 2000 Jahre Filmgeschichte. [Der Schockwellenreiter] and the kellerkind has a pointer to the complete history of the discovery of cinematography. Anneke also has a link about the magic lantern - A Thrill In The Dark. Victorian Magic Lantern Shows.
