Proof that a 1956 color television set could display a better picture than what was sent to it back then. Right?..

Yes, the image in the screen is real, although it has been adjusted for exposure, contrast, and color balance. Actually, though, it would not look very good close up, being a CTC-5 with its poor resolution. When creating the image to display on the TV, I do compensating things like putting black outlines around the text to make it stand out more.

Also, the over-all picture involves three exposures, one with room lights off to eliminate reflections in the screen, a second one with room lights on and no folding chair, and a third one with room lights on and the folding chair in place, so the chair can be made to look partly transparent and ghostly like the skeletons.
