COVID Dystopia: Iceberg


The Iceberg scene in COVID Dystopia just had the whale animated.A whale moves rather slow since it is so large but the scene is just a second long. The tail only animates downward. I wish there was more time to also animate it on the upstroke.

Now that the snap zooms were cut from the film there are 6 more frames in the scene.  I might consider some added animation for an upstroke.

I had a scare this morning. When I went to open the Premiere Pro file I got a warning box that said, It appears the file is broken it can not be opened. Good God. I navigated to the file another way and managed to get it to open. I better save what I have and get it onto the one drive.

My biggest fear is that I will get the film to a finished sate and then it will completely crash. If something bad can happen, it will happen to me.

I tried to render the film with all the snap zooms removed yesterday and the render failed. I used all the same settings I used on past renders. It seemed to freeze on a scene with an asteroid about to crash into the earth. I will check that scene to day and see if there is anything that might cause the render to stop. Why can’t anything digital just work?
