Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art
Cutaways and traveling shots of Christmas lights, Nativity scenes, Mary, and sunsets all tend to be blue on video. (The blue images render a sort of dreamlike and surreal tone to the desert landscape of Slab City - a couple of other tapes of the 200 also have this "blue" look too).
