Ostrich Theory

Something is coming. A pre-pandemic harbinger of indifference to troubled times, digitally depopulating and re-orchestrating documentary footage frame-by-frame before lockdowns became reality.

Busy scenes shot in early 2017 were meticulously rotoscoped over a three-year period, often involving recreation/reanimation of figures on a limb-by-limb, joint-by-joint basis, using available elements from other frames. There are no visual effects besides the rearrangement of genuinely-captured assets.
