It’s not how much you have that makes people look up to you. It’s who you are. Elvis Presley
Planning Tip of the Day! (Day 01 of 115) =…
Write down EVERY details u have about your characters! U know everything about yourself don’t u? So…create a fact file/list for every MAIN/IMPORTANT character u have in your story and note down every detail no matter how small! It’ll help u understand your characters better and to know how they would act in certain situations (If they’re shy/introverted, they probably won’t stand from the top of a skyscraper and openly announce their undying love for someone 
) therefore knowing as much as u can about your character(s) will help so much! (:

How To Make Characters Appear As Ghosts!
I got asked via Instagram how to make characters look like ghosts so therefore if anyone else is wondering, here’s the tutorial for it! (:
1) Pick yourself a background (Day/Night it doesn’t matter)…
i.e =
2) Use an app (i.e = BeFunky: Photo Editor) & resize the background to make it smaller (Under 1MB size) and save it
I resized my 1 zone background to 320 x 568 (Half of 640 x 1136 so it still fits the background when scaled correctly) then saved it as a png (overlay)
3) Upload your chosen background as a png (overlay)
4) Code your overlay to appear in your script
Code I used =
My overlay is called (in the script) = EXT. SECRET CAVE
My character is called (in the script) = EMALIA
EXT. CAVE - DAY
@EMALIA stands screen center AND EMALIA moves to layer -1 AND overlay EXT. SECRET CAVE create AND overlay EXT. SECRET CAVE opacity 0.3 in 0 AND overlay EXT. SECRET CAVE scales to 2.008 2.008 AND overlay EXT. SECRET CAVE shifts to 0 0 in zone 1 AND overlay EXT. SECRET CAVE moves to layer 0
Should look something similar to this =
Obviously, u can change the overlay’s opacity depending on how clear or how transparent u would like the ghost to be. Mine’s set at 0.3 above. If u want the ghost more transparent than above, change the opacity to either 0.2 or 0.1. If u want the character less transparent than above, use the opacity 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 or 0.9. Opacity 1 will make the overlay no longer transparent and opacity 0 will make the overlay invisible
You can also change your character’s outfit, appearance, animation and position.
For the example above, my overlay is on layer 0 with my character on layer -1. If I wanted to add anymore characters (non-ghosts), I would add them onto layer 1 and above (:
For the example above, if I wanted to add more ghosts, I would add them to layer -1 and below (:
and…that’s how you make your character(s) appear as ghosts! (:
