This scene is an example of why this is one of the most hated films in Florida. The public servant in the scene is Florida Governor Ron DeathSantis. Though screened as storyboards in two smaller Florida Festivals, I have had no success in getting the film shown at larger festivals in Florida. It would seem that the message that the Pandemic is far from over is not well received in the sunshine state.
The boy in the chipper is fully animated. It was fun animating his legs flailing. DeathSantis leans forward slightly as he prepares to throw the girl in next. The girl is frozen in terror. I could animate her arms and perhaps have her struggle but the shot is over before the audience would have a chance to notice. All the other children are also held cells. They could shift their weight from foot to foot or struggle to see. A rather fast pan distracts for their stillness. Now I am thinking that their lunch boxes should have images of the virus on them. We will see. If I find time I will make it so.
COVID does cause irreparable harm to children’s brains and vascular systems. The children don’t immediately die their IQ goes down and they can not concentrate as they did before. I suspect an entire generation will be destined to die young. The Baby boomers might be the last generation to live long lives. Since Americans will die young, Social Security will no longer be a benefit that Americans can collect. The government does not want to protect Americans, they want Americans to work until they die, preferably young, while on the job. The growing population being disabled by Long COVID however if foiling their plan. If a dictator is voted into the American presidency, the disabled will be not only be ignored, but sidelined, vilified and disposed of.
