Covid no more! from Cut to Black on Vimeo.
In this creative and fun video, one person made a mashup of clips from 108 different movies and TV shows in order to explain what is happening in the world right now with COVID-19.
“Ok, listen up people! We’re got a situation here.” These are the words that starts off this hilarious video. For the next few minutes, so many different clips have been put together in order to share what is going on because of the coronavirus.
There are clips from TV shows that include Seinfeld, Will & Grace, The Office, and Parks & Rec. Then there are movie scenes from films that include Frozen, Harry Potter, The Lego Movie, Braveheart, and Footloose. There are even a few clips from music videos thrown into the mix.
All the while, this mashup of video clips tells about the uniqueness of this crazy time. Like how the U.S. government started shutting down restaurants, how quarantine has the possibility of lasting till late May or early June, how we all need to wash our hands thoroughly and frequently, and how hard it can be to be productive while working at home.
The video is perfectly done and must have taken forever to find all the right clips from so many different sources. But this creative way of sharing what has been happening in the world right now is a way to bring some lightheartedness and laughter to the situation. Coronavirus is definitely something to take seriously, but sometimes, sharing a smile with one another is the best way to make it through hard times.
“I guess there’s only one thing left to do,” says the video at the very end. “Let’s dance!” Then a bunch of fun shots or people dancing flash across the screen followed by the last message in the video, “We will prevail.”
