Establish a common archive into which people can deposit
footage of their local settlement with no people visible.
Given enough distinct contributions, anyone in the world
making a post-apocalyptic film in later years will be able to

the source being immediately obvious.
Traffic and security cameras could make a valuable
contribution to get the ball rolling.

You could always add your green-screened characters in
later. Or throw in some stock footage of people standing
around looking pensive, add a narrator overlay, and you can
have anything from a murder mystery to a historical
documentary. |
