In 1881, Eadweard Muybridge first visited Étienne-Jules Marey's studio in France and viewed stop-motion studies before returning to the United States to further his own work in the same area.Brookman Philip Helios : Eadweard Muybridge in a time of change 2010 Steidl [Göttingen, Germany] 9783865219268 91 Marta Braun Andy Grundberg Corey Keller Rebecca Solnit The Chronophotography of Muybridge and Marey was a predecessor to cinematography and the moving film. It also had a profound influence on the beginnings of Cubism and Futurism. Chronophotography involved a series or succession of different images, originally created and used for the scientific study of movement.Tomkins, Calvin (1996). Duchamp: A Biography. U.S.: Henry Holt and Company, Inc. 0-8050-5789-7Étienne-Jules Marey, La Science du mouvement et l'image du temps https://web.archive.org/web/20160304204649/http://www2.biusante.parisdescartes.fr/marey/?do=fic&idn=P345 2016-03-04 , (The Science of mouvement and the image of time)
In 1881, Ottomar Anschütz created his first instantaneous photographs. By 1882, he had developed a portable camera that allowed shutter speeds as short as 1/1000 of a second. The quality of his pictures was generally regarded to be much higher than that of the chronophotography works of Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey.Rossell Deac The Exhibition of Moving Pictures before 1896 https://www.academia.edu/378569 en By 1886, Anschütz had developed the Electrotachyscope, an early device that displayed short motion picture loops with 24 glass plate photographs on a 1.5 meter wide rotating wheel that was hand-cranked to the speed of circa 30 frames per second. Different versions were shown at many international exhibitions, fairs, conventions and arcades from 1887 until at least 1894. Rossell Deac The Anschuetz Zoetropes https://www.academia.edu/1078596 en
In 1881, Eadweard Muybridge collected his chronophotographic pictures in the portfolio The Attitudes of Animals in Motion, showcasing a technique that resembles stop motion. Muybridge kept the edition very limited because of his plans for related book projects with Leland Stanford and Étienne-Jules Marey.Braun Marta https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=Bk26Wx9VEgsC&pg=GBS.PA179.w.4.1.21_275 Eadweard Muybridge 2012-01-01 Reaktion Books 978-1-78023-000-9 en
