The shot, I Can’t Breath, from COVID Dystopia has the camera panning downward. I added flames shooting off of the building but they are only visible for a fraction of a second.
A depth map helps make the scene appear somewhat dimensional. I could animate protestors waving their iPhone around, but I don’t think that is needed.
The sign is based on an actual protest sign at the time. Today, protestors at college campuses around the country are still wearing masks.
When arresting students police are ripping the masks off, they claim it is so that the students arrested can be seen by the media. Police have suffered more that most professions from COVID. When you have been infected so often, and brain cells have fused, you want to share the suffering.
In North Carolina a law is being passed to ban masks in public settings. A university banned people from wearing masks to a commencement ceremony. Being able to breath clean air should be a basic human right, but those in power seem intent on making sure we all die either from the initial infection or the resulting complications. It will be cheaper to make sure people die before they start to collect Social Security.
People think they are immune, but they are not. Each repeat infection increased the chances of Long COVID which can completely disable a person for the rest of their life. How many millions of disabled people are needed before we decide to clean the air.
