Museum of Moving Image POST

My visit to the Museum of Moving Image was quite fascinating. I have been to many different museums but I have never been to the Museum of Moving Image or any museum like it either. The museum had sections pertaining to a variety of things.

They had a section that let groups take photos and it turned them into gifs. They also have a section relating to voice overs that I actually participated in. We learned about the art of doing voice overs in class so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and try to sharpen my none existent voice over skills. I knew that voice noting didn’t just depend on being timely it also depended on what kind of microphone you used and how near or far you are from the microphone. I recorded a voice over for the movie “School of Rock” starring Jack Black.

Doing a voice over was pretty easy and mostly fascinating. Basically, I had to read the line first and pay close attention to Jack Blacks lip movements. Then I had a chance to record it myself and try to match him exactly. It was pretty fun and I know I did a decent job.

Another super cool section in the museum was the animation section. It was a section named “Stop Motion Animation” and it let people create short animations. My group members made a short animation with a wolf. We moved the position of the would about an inch forward and took a photo of it that was called a frame. After that we put the framed together, and played the selection which made it look like a real short animation.
