· Etienne Jules Marey was a French photographer known for taking “Motion Pictures.” Took multiple photos with one camera and overlapped them to create the illusion of movement, also known as "animation." One experiement on animation from Marey was "Sport in the Darkroom." Created the photograph gun to catch photos of people in motion. This was Chrono-photography by drawing each frame. Eadweard Muybridge took photos of a horse in motion to prove that, when a horse gallops, all hooves leave the ground. Muybridge would also create the zoopraxiscope by taking the horse phots, bending them at the top corners, and print them into a circular dish via paint. Louis Le Prince invented early motion-capture cameras. Unfortunately, he does not receive much credit for it. Thomas Edison’s laboratory developed the Kinetoscope. William Dickson tried to create the “kinetophone,” an experimental sound film in 1894, but failed. Luckily, years later, an unknown artist recreated it, improving the sound quality. The Lumière Brothers would introduce the first cinematographe, which had multiple functions in one machine. It captured photos/film, printed those same photos/film, and could even keep those photos together as a roll of film. Eventually, John Logie Baird created the mechanical TV.
