Abstract

Society often overlooks the beauty in the minutiae of everyday routines buried beneath the frantic pace of modern life. We ignore the world around us by failing to stop and appreciate the wondrous nature that surrounds us everyday. However, modern media technology now provides us the opportunity to respect the detailed nuance of our normal surroundings. The experimental documentary, Made In Indiana utilizes the newest camera technology to capture the beauty of everyday Indiana moments by emphasizing routine occurrences - re-visualized with slow motion video capture. This use of slow motion will allow for a new appreciation of daily life, unique to the residents in the state of Indiana.
