This scene from COVID Dystopia is less than a second long.That isn’t enough time to read any of the protest signs, like, lifeboats are for sheep. Hopefully an audience has just enough time to notice that all the passengers in the life boats have masks on and the protestors on the deck do not.
The depth effect ass the camera trucks downward works well. I had to create a patch so some of the foreground passengers do not distort too much.
Of course there are plenty of opportunities to fully animate the scene. The woman in the foreground could turn and look towards the camera and or protestors could be waving their signs. The lifeboats themselves could swing as they are lowered.
With all that said, I think the simple camera move is enough to keep the scene moving. This single scene could be cut apart into a series of shots. A close up pf the protestors, the concerned look on passengers faces, another passengers leaping onto a boat. All of that would be for a much longer film.
I have already created a film that people love to hate. Do I really need to invest the time in making it longer?
