MoMI

While I've been to the MoMI before, I haven't gone since its renovation.  I see that a few things have changed, but a few of my favorite things are still there.  With that being said, I took part in doing a voice-over.  First you're given how it looks in the movie, then you're given one rehearsal chance, and finally the actual voice-over.  It wasn't the easiest thing to do, but I'd imagine it's a little easier for the actor that was playing the voice since they have been rehearsing it, did it, and can relive their given circumstances and such.  I'm not trying to say t is easy for them to do it in one take, but it would be easier than someone who had no hand in the production.  Something that would require this process would be if there were interference in the recording of sound, the actor's were too low, a mic was not able to be used for some reason, animals talking in human voices, or foreign films/video games.

What  found interesting was the news cameras that they had back in the day.  We were shown basically a 3-in-1 lens.  All the news reporter had to do was turn it to get a different type of lens.  I thought that was a pretty good idea and wondered why it isn't used today.  I was also reminded of a piece of technology similar to a kinetoscope.  This invention was called the mutoscope created by William Dickson.  How this works is that you look into a box and crank the crank on the side.  What this does is flip a series of pages to show us a seemingly moving image.   I would say it's a demonstration of persistence of vision, but we were told that scientists are currently unsure if that's what's going on when we view movies.  However, it is similar to how we see movies.  Similar subject images that have continuity are seen in a rapid succession.
