Career:

Assistant to Etienne Jules Marey in 1895,Bull went on to pioneer the field of high-speed film capture. His duties under Etienne's supervision included developing and printing the chronophotographic negatives. The first successful film was taken in 1904 when bull filmed the flight of a fly at 1,200 frames per second. Bull created a “spark drum Camera” that replicated the continuous motion of 35-mm film. Using an electromagnetic shutter, two side-by-side films were exposed and wound around drums inside the camera built from wooden frames  Through his works and experience gain from working with Etienne Jules Marey Bull was able to become head of the Marey institute which was a subset of the College de France.

Similarly, to his mentor, Bull began to write prolifically and published numerous academic papers on a wide variety of subjects ranging from the aforementioned high-speed photography and cinematography, spark illuminations, studies of insect and bird flight, muscle and heart functions and electrocardiography. During the first world war he developed sound ranging equipment, later adopted by the British military, for the location of enemy gun batteries. Bull also assisted in the construction of a device which produced high speed photographic analysis of ballistics. Bull was able to publish a multitude of papers in a variety of subjects throughout his years as a researcher. His work was listed in a research film in December 1953.

Roles:

Bull began his career as an assistant to Etienne Jules Marey in 1895. His roles would include developing and printing the chronophographic negatives. After Marey's death in 1904, Bull became the Director of l'Institut in Paris. In 1933, he was put in charge of research at the national office of research and invention. When the First World War broke out, Lucian joined the war effort developing systems for the high-speed photographic analyses of ballistics and for locating enemy gun batteries via a sound ranging device. These were highly effective and enhanced his already significant reputation, and governmental appointments followed. Honours included the CBE (1920), and the legion of honour (1954). He was awarded gold medals for his roles in developing the firld of chronophography by the national office of research and invention (1933).
