Museum of Moving Image Visit

I've been to the MoMI multiple times growing up, but the really good thing about it is that some exhibits always get changed so it's always interesting to come across a new space in the museum. There are many exhibits I enjoy viewing, such as, the wardrobe/special affect room, the sound recording booth, and of course the understanding of different cameras area. At the MoMI there are displays of all forms of cameras and the era it represents. Every time I visit the museum I like to refresh my memory and also learn new things. The film camera, which was first a practical motion picture camera, later created by Thomas Edison with the use of flexible film. A smaller strip of film goes through the camera in periodic motion. The mechanism moves one frame into position which then gets held into place for a couple of seconds then the same process gets repeated with the following strip of film. I've learned that in the television camera, in order for the image to be captured the television camera records a series of still pictures in a fast pace. I was very excited to experience the limited edition exhibit of Mad Men, it was interesting to see items that were imported from the show such as sets, conference room, clothing and props. It was a great way to end the tour.
