You know, I might be tempted to go to the movies more than twice a year if our theater had exhibits like this.
ReplyDeleteThese costume and props exhibits at places like the El Capitan Theatre and the ArcLight cinemas really are great - I love comparing what you see on screen with all the lighting and post-production tinkering to the real thing.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the costumes look much less impressive on the screen and vice versa, they can look cheaper in person. But it's still a thrill to see them every time.
