On the day of filming, the cameraman showed up masked so he could mic me, then-keeping a responsible 6 to 8 feet apart at all times-we shot these segments on the fly, using no notes-and, with one exception, doing it all in one take (the one exception was the segment on television and Sam & Friends, which I had talked through MUCH too rapidly the first time). (Fortunately, on the day the cameras rolled, all audio tracks were muted.) We were also curious whether the sound could be turned off-there are countless videos playing in the exhibit, which meant I couldn’t stand in certain places without sound ‘bleeding in’ from video screens around the room. With everything still on lockdown, I spent about an hour one afternoon making a quick walk through the exhibit with Denise Crouse, the museum’s communications manager, to get a good handle on the featured pieces, and to figure out where to stand for each segment. A bit of a peek behind the scenes: I was absolutely thrilled to be asked by the Museum to lend a hand with the virtual tour.
