My impression of The Museum of The Moving Image

 


It was my second visit to Museum of The Moving Image. The first time I went there a year ago for curiosity. I did not know that kind of museum existed.
When I went the second time, I liked that we went as a group and had a guide who explained to us the detail of the inventors and equipments.
I liked the list of black and white pictures of the celebrities of  American cinematography. I liked the transformation of Jim Carry’s face into a cartoon hero in the movie "Mask". Next was the line with the dresses that we could see in the famous movies and TV series. The tour guide explained to us in details. 
I was impressed when I saw the gigantic video cameras that had been used in the early cinematography business.

It is interesting to see when the transformation of the enormous camera getting smaller and more portable for documentary purposes. It is compelling to observe that from over one century the video camera technology has been rapid increased and the cameras are getting smaller but are better quality.

A great experience was when we watched a small part of a movie and either deleted the sound effects or background voice or music. It was a useful opportunity to see how the movie could work without sound effects.
Ultimately, it will be great if in NYC had more museums like Museum of The Moving Image.
