Adobe After Effects – Simple Creativity #8: Stopwatch

Several years ago, my wife and I went to New Orleans to visit my uncle. That day, she and I were just sightseeing. Then we saw a big crowd right ahead of us. When I went there, I couldn’t believe my eyes. A big guy was stepping on a skinny guy. It was a totally outrageous animal abuse and a complete violation of human rights. My wife had a cellular phone, so I told her to call 911. But, she got a stopwatch out of her purse instead and started timing. When I asked her what she was doing, she said that she wanted to know if the skinny guy could stay alive for the next 20 seconds.
