Lights! Camera! Action! Filming in Paradise
February 6 - May 16, 2010
Stroll along a Walk of Fame of Florida luminaries into the exhibit featuring Tom Hanks' flight suit from "Apollo 13," “Meet the Fockers,” and “Where the Boys Are,” as well as movie stills from “Lethal Weapon 3,” “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” “Return of the Creature,” “Edward Scissorhands,” “The Yearling,” and other movies.

Then step into a "Florida Swampland," the scene at the center of a set recreated for those who wonder what's behind the scenes of filmmaking - director, cameras, lighting, audio, sound proofing, costumes, props, grip gear, and event the craft service table. The roles key components play in the movie-making process are explained. Pick up a script, step up to the foley table, and try making sound effects just like they do in the movies!
