Franc Moody 'Square Pegs In Round Holes' by Boris Thompson-Roylance

Rob Ulitski - 6th Mar 2025

Boris Thompson-Roylance directs an abstract promo for Franc Moody, inspired by Eadweard Muybridge's iconic early motion picture projection work.

The video for Square Pegs In Round Holes contemporises his explorations, creating a series of character vignettes focused on singular repeated durational movements, within a similar scientific, anthropological and ethnographic direction.

It's a creative, thought-provoking visual treatment, using composition and slight shifts in colour to represent the themes of the project. 

At once meditative, cathartic and idiosyncratic, it's a wonderful video with great performances and expert direction.
