Museum of Moving Image Questions !

The Museum of moving image was a great experience. Not only was it very cheap, but it’s a gold mine of film history, props, equipment, the list goes on. I definitely plan to go back, I had a great time and I’m sure my friends will too. I thought I knew a lot going in but I did manage to learn a bit from this trip. Some of the steps used in editing, film, sound, and effects. I even made a mini animated cartoon. There are many activities to keep your self-amused in-between exhibits. Ranging from camera tricks to original video games like Super Mario, Tekken, even PONG! I found the museum alone quite interesting and cool. Being a New Yorker I was surprised to see such an awesome exhibit right under my nose. They had Chewbacca’s head! But in particular I found many of the actives to be interesting, the animation computer, the green screen, dialogue replacement, are all things I feel everyone and filmmakers in particular should experience. I worked alone, it made it easier for me to make up questions and to pretty much get lost and not get yelled at. Overall I felt the trip was a great experience and I recommend the museum to anyone who has a dollar and some time to kill. I can’t wait to see how it comes out when they stop shuffling things about and finish construction; the MOMI truly is a gem.
