Funding was provided through a Cooperation Agreement with the City's Department of Transportation, in which 13th District parking meter funds were used. The architectural firm of Gordon, Friedman, Baldwinson Associates and their subcontractor architect, Hak Sik Son, designed the parking structure and worked with the artist. Macintosh and Macintosh was the engineering firm for the project. The sculpture is one of several commissioned by the Redevelopment Agency to address the importance of film in the history of Hollywood. According to the artist, her idea for the sculpture was derived from the notion of sequential images first introduced in the late 1800s by photographer Eadweard Muybridge. IAS files contain a copy of the artist's proposal for the sculpture, related correspondence, and a Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles Memorandum, dated April 1, 1993, approving the public art plan.
