Memor-obilia Wisconsin

An over thirty-minute static long take of a grass lawn in front of a lake. A camera is set still to capture a day trip of a group of people around the lake. The causal conservation suggests they are having a picnic on a breezy day, where a wind chime occasionally rings, alongside the random blowing of a horn. The video processing focuses on the keying of two distinct areas: the lake and the surrounding grass lawn and trees. 

Although the tape is shot with early Portapak that is black and white in nature, the Image Processor generates a new layer of colorization to the footage. Through constant color manipulation, the clip features highly saturated and psychedelic colors, showcasing the colorizing ability of the image processor.
