Thanks for watching!

This series has been more then awesome so far not only because is a joy to see you in this environment talking to these people but because it really made me appreciate much more what's around a museum piece.
Not just a boring unimportant box but something almost as important as the exposed piece itself with an immense work behind.

[@WoodworkerDon]

Agree 100%. Really enjoying Adam's behind-the-scenes look and interviews at Smithsonian.
More please, in other Maker spaces, museums, etc. 👌👍

[@Aderynbrea]

I love this! As a fellow museum professional and nerd, the interpretive work exhibit developers do is super important to the whole exhibit design. Without them, the amazing exhibits you see in your local and favorite museums wouldn't be possible. It's a lot of behind-the-scenes work but seeing that fully-installed exhibit come to life is truly magical. For me, seeing how the public interacts with an exhibit in their own unique ways is why I love this field and love what I do everyday.

My granddad always talked about wanting to go to the Smithsonian. We never got the chance before he passed away, but man he would of loved these videos.

[@DaHaiZhu]

That was rather Meta: Asking John Powell, who's job it is to distill exhibits down to a few a words as possible, to distill his job down to as few a words as possible.... :)

[@anonymes2884]

You did a really good job distilling his distillation of his job of distillation !

[@randelcarpio]

Keep up these wonderful videos Tested team!

[@RyanKhoo]

Loving all the Smithsonian videos, couldn’t imagine anyone else doing it better, doing it at all In fact, thanks Adam and team!

[@mick_hyde]

Fantastic series of films, many thanks.

[@koideath]

Got to hear Adam talk yesterday and it was awesome!

[@heyshaye5428]

Im loving this series!

[@Brian2]

Good interview, shame we didn't get to see them in action for an exhibit but this was still an interesting watch.

[@MrChief101]

Would'a liked to have seen more of those monster printers. Nice interview.

[@tested]

You will tomorrow! It is tomorrow's video.

[@MrChief101]

@@tested I felt it somehow... thanks!

[@pepsihatman]

Love it!

[@catalinaurica107]

Great job, amazing videos, I would love to visit The Smithsonian one day, lots of greetings from Romania!

[@uriituw]

Looks like a good kind of job.

[@Epreza471]

Everytime they say the word “exhibit”, I hear “Xzibit” en see that smiling Xzibit meme in my head 🤣

[@jakedonohue8771]

Hi

[@luxetbono]

Are we going to hear from an interactive designer? Like a multimedia programmer and designer.

[@tt-qh3kj]

If ever given the opportunity to visit the London Smithsonian,,
Could you inquire about those reported fake moon rocks. I think that be an especially interesting episode.

[@Giyuu_Waterdroplet]

You should do gears of war costume

[@gabrielcocalea9476]

In this interview, John is mastering the art of talking about so many things and nothing at the same time..

[@Crow.Author]

Yeah, he sounds like he’s in a deposition.

[@jackoghost]

the intro sounds barely like Adam

[@DenkyManner]

Tested keeps getting better. The camera shake and movement during the interview is a bit off-putting though. Seems to settle down as it goes on

[@thesnitch7]

SHAKEY!!!!!

[@phstudio100]

For sure, the camera man went to the school of Paul Greengrass film making.

[@SandyCrack69]

Another great video, but am I only one who thinks that Adam sounds like Daffy Duck in the first introductory voice over.

[@terriblej6107]

So he's a exhibitionist? ;)

[@illustriouschin]

The overdub sounds sped up.

[@moejoe5762]

Next time ask to see all the giant skeletons they got stashed away

[@garygreen5670]

You read my mind.
