No one is moving in this scene from COVID Dystopia.Only the camera moves to show some dimension to the scene. I could clutch fingers together tighter or add some subtle arm movement but it would hardly be noticed.
The whole films dances between lots of movement and very little movement from scene to scene. My experience working on background characters in the movie Mulan helped train me to decide which movements are important and when stillness is more appropriate. It is all a matter of judgement.
Last night I booked an Air B&B in Cleveland. I plan to fly in on the day my film screens. My film is being shown at a late night screening so I will probably have time to explore the city a bit before heading to the theater. The B&B is just a six minute drive from the theater, so it might be a manageable walk on foot.
For me this is an exciting screening since the theater, with surround sound, can seat 500 people, and this is the first Film Festival which is Academy Award qualifying. I am rather realistic however since I know this is a film that most people hate. Most people have embraced the propaganda that COVID is no worst than the flu or a cold. The recent CDC guidelines essentially encourage workers to return to work while infected. Mass infection is the new norm. We are coming off of another wave peak but levels of infection in America never return to a reasonable low. COVID is not a seasonal virus. For this film to say that this is insane makes it an outlier. I honestly do not think most people even comprehend what they are being shown.
