Isn't it just great when school forces you to do something you've always wanted to but never got around to doing? I had that happen this past semester when I had to visit the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, for a project for my Introduction to Mass Communications class. I visited the museum on Thursday, March 29, and finally got to experience what all the hype was about. It was just as good as I expected - and even better! There were a lot of interesting things to see and read about on the history of electronic communication, TV, and film. I even got to experience some of the interactive exhibits, including ones where I recorded my voice over Dorothy's in scenes from the Wizard of Oz and then one where I performed sound editing on the Terminator 2 movie. I was also fascinated getting to see vintage Lamb Chop toys in an exhibit and walking into an old style movie theater decorated with an Egyptian theme!
