Harun Farocki is a german filmmaker whose work was a combination of documentary and found footage style that rode the line between art and cinema, with highly politicized messages. (Lissoni, A. 2016). He is known for Nicht löschbares Feuer (The Inextinguishable Fire) which is an aditprop film studying napalm in vietnam during the Vietnam war. This film used actual footage from a napalm manufactory. Der Ärger mit den Bildern (1973; “The Trouble with Images”) used all pre-made footage to explore the over use of images in tv news broadcasts.(Blumberg, N. Jan 2019)

Etienne-Jules Marey was a french physiologist who used multiple photographic exposures on a single plate to study movement in animals. (Editors. Mar 2019) His designs helped develop early cinema inc providing a foundation for Eadward Muybridge's studies of motion.

Eadward Muybridge was a key innovator in the 19th century using photograph series to study animals in motion. He is known for Animal Locomotion which is a book that contains 781 photographs made up from 20000 individual images, and was published in 1887. (Braun, M. 2010)
