In COVID Dystopia this scene appears in an instrumental section of the soundtrack. The Sturgis Bike Rally takes place every year at the start of August and it never took a break at the height of the pandemic.
Research after the Rally in 2020 verified that the rally was a superspreader event that bikers becoming infected and the bringing the virus back to their home state.
The problem of course is that without widespread testing it is impossible to prove the virus was picked up at Sturgis. The bikers could have picked it up at a gas station of restaurant o the road. Plausible deniability makes it possible for business to tick along as if nothing is happening.
In this shot I particularly liked adding flames to the front tire. The flames being blown backwards were a real challenge and honestly they could be better. Sometimes however you just have to accept what is done and move on.
Today I will be animating flames again. Hopefully I have picked up some tricks along the way. It has been several months since I animated flames, so it might take me a while to get back up to speed.
