More about Jules Etienne Marey from the linked website:
"Marey also developed several ingenious techniques to further track and isolate movement. These techniques would reoccur several decades later in the work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, as they searched for "better" ways for the body to work, and more than 100 years later as digital technology sought to capture and trace movement, albeit for completely different reasons than Marey's.
One such technique was to cloth his subject completely in black, except for thin white bands which indicated the position of movement of the arms and legs. Photographed against the black interior of one of the "hangers" at the Station Physiologique, the subject's form was reduced to its essential components. These images of soldiers running were part of Marey's research into determining a scientific means of training soldiers."
