Blog #4 MOMI Experience

I tend to learn things better hands on, and the many hands on features that MOMI offered gave me a very interesting experience. The automatic dialogue replacement and the background music exhibits were both very fun to play around with. It also made me realize my interest in the sound aspect of film. I also liked that there were costumes, set designs, and special effect make up from some of my favorite movies. It's a great place for those who are interested in a film related job but are not sure which area they want to specialize in.

One specific exhibit that caught my attention was the three dimensional zoetrope. Instead of using the cuts in the wooden cylinder to create fluent motion, light was used. The constant flashing of lights made the piece look like it was happening right before my eyes, the torpedo melting on to the hand and transforming into a paper plane. And when the light came back on, we saw the zoetrope in its original form. It was a very interesting experiencing I hope to be back again soon.
