A talented Derry film-maker and a Derry journalist have collaborated on a video which perfectly captures the mood across the north west as people try to come to terms with the impact of COVID-19 locally.<br />The stunning footage for the ‘Covid-19 Ghost’ was shot by renowned videographer Charlie Oundo (Simba) who runs Simba Star Media.<br />Charlie teamed up with Derry Journal Senior Sports Reporter Simon Collins, who wrote and vocalised a narrative over the footage (full text below).<br />The film contrasts the city we all know so well, and all the things that we did and took for granted we could do up until a few short weeks ago, with the haunting silence of the streets today during the coronavirus lockdown.<br />The result has struck a chord with local people, and has now been viewed over 30,000 times since it was uploaded on Simba Media’s Vimeo channel less than a week ago.
