This scene from COVID Dystopia has the camera rotating around the young nurses head to give her some dimensionality. The mom and child and all the other medical staff are held cells.
I could animate the water but I don’t think that adds much more to the scene. I could also animate the mom clutching her child closer, but that would be a whole lot of work for characters that are not the center of interest.
I will probably leave this scene as it is. I plan to animate a background guy in a hazmat suit in the Disney Main Street scene today. I feel I should do it since he is clearly walking inn the shot, so a held cell does not make sense.
Skeletal arms in the religious scene should also move, so I might set that up today as well. It would be nice if there was a clear cut off date on animation production. But with millions of details that could be animated, it is hard to know when to stop.
Some festivals have started contacting me by e-mail after seeing the film online. They offer discounted submission fees. It is hard to decided if they truly saw the film or if they are just trying to rake in more submission fees. The Serbest International Film Festival (SIFF) festival in Maldova, next to Ukraine, contacted me and I though the fest might be a scam. However I then saw an animated short online that won an award at the festival. I decided to give SIFF a try. I am setting boundaries. No new festivals in their first year. And the theater has to be able to seat over 100 people. My goal is to get as many eyeballs in seats as possible.
