I'm going to give this a try.
Thankyou for opening this competition to everyone.
I don't know much about producing something like this but the work so far on the forum is inspiring. I hope to learn a lot from the experience.
Heres my first sketch of an idea...
It's a street scene from an historic part of the city with a glimpse of the devastated skyscrapers in the distance. The roof areas are damaged or ripped from their frames but the low level stone buildings have survived well.
The survivors have set up barracades in the narrow streets to protect themselves from the ravaged populous in the new city. However, the radioactive infection is spreading into this area by airborne spores contaminating the water and attaching to the built environment.
My initial thought is that the scene is dark and brooding due to the heavy dust filled sky with little or no artificial light. Only the radioactive spores floating on the breeze will light the scene like fireflys.
Just got to do it now
