The MOMI was very informational and interesting. I experienced a stop action animation photo booth which was pretty cool. There were so many images just to make a few seconds of film! The progression and size of cameras through the years was impressive. There have been so many improvements and conveniences made on production cameras.

While on the tour, my group experienced quite a few exhibits in relation to sound. We got to go into a sound proof room and learn how production teams did voice overs for movies. I was not aware of how much time and energy went into sound management before a movie can be released into the public.

The best part of the museum, for me, was the Silence of the Lambs pieces. The pre-sketches to certain shots were eerie yet exciting. It was so cool to see how much energy went into designing sets down to the littlest details like wallpaper. The mini set designs showed how much planning goes into a movie. That is one thing that I have loved about film making or most creative processes, technology has allowed for so many conveniences but through time and all the advancements having to pre-plan with sketches, ideas, scribbles, etc has remained consistently necessary.
