There are two good articles dealing with shooting a movie in your
museum: "Never Yell “Cut”" (A brief guide to filming in
museums)(cool.conservation-us.org/waac/wn/wn31/wn31-2/wn31-204.pdf) by
Chris Stavroudis & "Its a Wrap"
(cool.conservation-us.org/waac/wn/wn31/wn31-2/wn31-206.pdf) by Laurie
Gibbs. Both appeared in the WAAC Newsletter Volume 31 Number 2 May
2009.
