The Museum of the Moving Image proves to be an informative, yet exciting, museum to visit -- especially if you want to learn about the history of media production in a condensed and easy to understand way. My favorite specific demo would probably be the film props, from the Yoda doll to the huge Freddy sweater, and especially the command center from Blade Runner. I had no idea that the latter was actually so small and it was filmed with certain tools to make it appear life sized, the same goes for the Freddy sweater.
Besides that I really enjoyed, though it was a bit too long, the break down of the editing for the Titanic. Getting a feel for the audio and actually hearing the artificial sounds helps you remember that the film is, after all, just a work of art -- this idea can get lost when you are so immersed in the viewing.
I have been to this museum a number of times before so I didn't really learn anything new, I did however stroll around after the tour and check out the other exhibitions (had to get my $6.50's worth after all) and I really enjoyed the Jim Campbell installations.
