Caloia Family | Leo's Movies | Movie Clips | Mar30_1986EasterPicnic
This video reveals the activity typical of the annual Caloia gatherings. Estelle and Mike hosted an Easter picnic for decades in Turtle Rock Park, Irvine, California. Pictured here are Victoria and Roger Conway, Heather Ross, and is that Malissa's husband in the background?
Leo continued to record family events with a video camera in the '80s. As a consequence these later videos are considerably better quality. The virtually unlimited record time in excess of two hours in place of the three minute limit of 16 mm film meant long takes were possible, and editing in post was magic (at the time). Gone was the expense of roll of 16 mm color film, and associated cost of film processing. The innovation of a zoom lens gave the vidographer more freedom of expression.
