Alright, need help with spotlight coding for a club scene. Hang on will send script.

It’s a a lot dark, and I want it to be a little bit dark and lots of lighting, and movement with smoke moving as well.

INT. CLUB - NIGHT with EFFECT DIM 60 in zone 1 at layer 10 with EFFECT COLORED SPOTLIGHTS in zone 1 at layer 8 with EFFECT SMOKE in zone 1 at layer 7

&cut to zone 1
&zoom on 70 0 to 107% in 0
&set hsl 0 5 -11 in 0

&overlay EFFECT DIM 60 shifts to 1 -5 in zone 1
&overlay EFFECT DIM 60 scales to 1.466 1.466 in zone 1
&overlay EFFECT DIM 60 opacity 0.5 in 0

&overlay EFFECT COLORED SPOTLIGHTS shifts to 4 -2 in zone 1
&overlay EFFECT COLORED SPOTLIGHTS scales to 1.000 1.000 in zone 1

&overlay EFFECT SMOKE shifts to 2 -6 in zone 1
&overlay EFFECT SMOKE scales to 1.393 1.393 in zone 1

&overlay EFFECT SMOKE shifts to -38 -8 in 1.5 THEN overlay EFFECT SMOKE shifts to -21 -8 in 1.5 loop INFINITE times
&overlay EFFECT SMOKE opacity 0.5 in 1.5 THEN overlay EFFECT SMOKE opacity 1 in 1.5 loop INFINITE times

&overlay EFFECT COLORED SPOTLIGHTS shifts to 3 -21 in 1.5 THEN overlay EFFECT COLORED SPOTLIGHTS shifts to -43 -13 in 1.5 loop INFINITE times

So, you want the spotlights to be flashing back and forth with smoke moving? :thinking:

#pause
#@pause for S, replace S with a number-in seconds-to see how the scene is like, like @pause for 5.7, @pause for 8.3, etc, your choice.
