HOW PEOPLE MAKE IT

From idea to first render

One per person, with unobstructed faces and permission to use them.

Describe the human and the infected loved one in your prompt.

A pause, a glance or an embrace is enough for one shot.

Repeat a movement in the memory scene, then join the clips in an editor.
