Usage Note

Movido has two common uses: a busy or hectic period (un día movido, a hectic day) and a blurry photograph (una foto movida, a blurred photo, taken while the camera moved). It is the past participle of mover used as an adjective. The 'hectic' sense is colloquial and very frequent in spoken Spanish; context separates the two meanings easily.
