Director Statement
I've always dreamed of paying homage to Eadweard Muybridge. While in post-production on various projects, I started working on this experimental documentary. I wondered what Muybridge's images would look like when put into a stop-motion sequence, and then once I started building the short out, I thought all the photos could be strung out to create the notion of a filmstrip.
Dialogue-free, 25 Movements celebrates some of the first "filmed images," whose technical style of photograph-taking influenced cinema from its foundations all the way to The Wachowski's The Matrix bullet time shot.
