One thing in media production that I did not know before is that they would make a tiny mock up version of a set that they would use to plan out if they have enough room or not for all the staff members.  I knew that they would make mock ups of sets to envision what they had in mind, of, but I never put much thought into it after that.  Creators did these models to plan out if there was a enough room for the film equipment and for staff members to move around in the background.  One great example of this that I saw at the museum was that they had a tiny model that someone built for sesame street, where they built it in order to figure out how much room that they had for the puppeteers in the background.

This changed the way moving image was created because it helped creators to better understand and have a clear image of what they want and it helped them to become more organized as well, so it quickened the process of them finalizing their ideas.  Which allowed them to more quickly move into production, and these tiny mock ups also allowed them to show their partners of what they envisions and how it exactly looked like.  These models also allowed them to redesign and confirm if the layout was easy for filming which allowed them to easily re organized the model before actually doing it to the real set.
