Taylor inherited his artistic ambition from his pioneering great-grandfather, Stanner E. V. Taylor, a pioneering writer-director in the Silent Era with over 100 film credits. The senior Taylor is said to be the first American director with on-screen credit in 1910 and the first screenwriter to write on retainer. Inspired by Georges Méliès, he created one of the first quadruple exposure visual effects shots in 1913 for Monopol Films’ "The Dead Secret" with Marion Leonard acting against herself in a dual role. He also invented the light saber in 1914.
