I really enjoyed my trip to the Museum of the Moving Image and the Jon Henson exhibit because of how many interesting displays and interactive games they had.  One thing that stuck out to me was the process of making the puppets that dominated TV for so many years. There was a lot more things happening behind the scenes then I ever realized. Reading about the history of each puppet and then watching it in action on TV, was a memorable part of my trip. Some notable puppets I read about and were interested in were Miss Peggy in her giant wedding dress, Kermit and the puppets used with the Ed Sullivan Show. To be able to see the artwork or storyboards for famous shows, showed me the necessary work that is done before shooting live. It also reminds me that everything we see on TV, such as the puppets on display, are all drawn in pre production. Although there is more and more technology impacting film and how it’s made and shown, the base of it is art, drawing and creativity in design.

Another cool exhibit was the ADR studio, where users can change various sounds from different films. While it was fun to make goofy sounds for a little, the ADR studio showed me how much creative freedom is possible in media and film. The whole experience showed me and everyone how much the equipment and techniques used to create media has changed over generations. From puppets to CGI and sound editing, technology in film has expanded the art and will continue too for years to come.

I tried to structure the interview in three parts, in which I would explore Micheal's memories of the past and present and then end it with what he thinks his future will be in Soccer. Interesting topics I am planning on highlighting will be the time spent in Colombia for the tournament, what being a captain means to him, and take aways from a long career almost at it's end.

SoundWalk

The area I picked for my sound walk, was my walk home from Hunter. It was just after 3pm, so right as I exited Hunter I walked into hundreds of students going between buildings, running to the subway, waiting on line for food or just standing with groups of friends talking. Over the white noise of everyone talking and the city, I heard a student yell above it all to ask for extra white sauce on his platter. There were sounds of cars honking and buses coming into the bus stop and settling. As I stood on the northwest corner of 68th and lex observing such a concentration of chaos, conversations of others would pass by. I saw a girl to her friend say “Yeah, but I have to work”, and heard a “what up, bro” as a group of kids converged to one of their friends. I then began to walk to park avenue on 68th and proceeded to walk uptown. The noise of student chatter and hustling had completely disappeared, only leaving the slight traffic to fill the air. As I approached the corner, a woman...
