Early life
Born inSuccesses
Marey died in May 1904. As a result of his death, Bull became head of the Marey Institute, which formed part of theRoles
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 in France. 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 field of chronophotography by the National Office of Research and Invention (1933).Later life and death
In 1948 Bull became the president of the Institution of Scientific Cinematography in Paris. His work was eventually listed by Dr. W. Hinsch in ''Research Film'' for December 1953. He continued his research well in to the 1950s, still publishing papers on high-speedHonors and Distinctions
