the HRC: a visual picture of all the stuff I'm going to have to figure out.

The HRC was really, really amazing. It was a lot smaller than the LBJ Museum, but I enjoyed it so much more. The layout was better and it just felt more relaxed. There was so much to see in there! Old scripts, storyboards, pictures…it all really cool. The costumes were also fascinating. The way it laid out the different aspects and roles of the movie process is also very well done and helpful. I wasn’t really sure what the exact role of a director would be in making this movie, but the museum really helped clear that up. I know I am going to have to start really looking at camera’s and think about what angles and lighting will work best. I also realized I’m basically going to have to make a whole lot of components come together in a short amount of time. I’m also really going to have to get on top of organizing things and do a good job of delegating. It seems like a pretty HUGE task. I’m up for the challenge though. The HRC just gave me a tangible picture of all the work, which I guess is a good thing! haha

I was most taken aback by the very first wall thing that introduced the whole exhibit. It really caught my eye. It was so concise and to the point. It really put me in the right mind frame for the exhibit. Maybe we could do something like that at the beginning of our video essay. Jason and Cullen suggested using Matt’s quote and I think that is a great idea! Overall, the HRC > LBJ.
