Description
Happily, you don't have to make it on the big screen to get a glimpse of life behind the scenes thanks to the Museum of the Moving Image. Interactive exhibits like "Behind the Screen" make the magic of movies, from takes to theater to television, accessible. Visitors can test out audio-visual materials, see how special effects are made from chroma key to computer, explore how hairstyling is used to set a mood, agonize over the ins-and-outs of screenwriting and catch a short film in the facility's theater before calling it a wrap.
