Locomotion was a popular method of making a series of consecutive images for artistic and scientific purposes.
Chronophotography is "a set of photographs of a moving object taken for the purpose of recording and displaying successive phases of motion. The term chronophotography was coined by French physiologist Étienne-Jules Marey to describe photographs of movement from which measurements and study of motion could be derived. It is derived from the Greek word “chronos” (time), combined with photography. Marey’s pioneering work in the field of chronophotography can be seen to have lead directly to the development of cinematography.
