Falling Cat was a plate of chronophotography, not an actual film

The header says ist all. Marey was a pioneer of chronophotography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tienne-Jules_Marey

"He adopted and further developed animated photography into a separate field of chronophotography in the 1880s. His revolutionary idea was to record several phases of movement on one photographic surface. In 1890 he published a substantial volume entitled Le Vol des Oiseaux (The Flight of Birds), richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, and diagrams. He also created stunningly precise sculptures of various flying birds".

The media attached to this entry also shows that it was a plate, not a film. There are later animations created from Mareys plates, yes, but that doesn't turn the plates into film. Anajemstaht (talk) 19:21, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
