How Do I Create a Classroom?

[raingirl13]

I’m trying to create a classroom scene, though I’ve no idea how to place characters behind desks. I’m planning on using the background “INT. CLASSROOM FRONT OL - DAY” and using a table overlay to have in front of my MC - though I haven’t found an overlay to use for this. However, I’m still confused on how to add other students behind the desks in the background. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

You’ve to create all the overlays and then layer everything, I don’t think there’s another way around

How do I create overlays?? So complicated

Example:

INT. CLASSROOM FRONT OL - DAY with DESK in zone 1 at layer 0
&DESK shifts to… in zone 1
&DESK scales to… in zone 1
&DESK opacity 1

@CHARACTER spot… in zone 1 at layer -3
@CHARACTER2 spot… in zone 1 at layer -3
@CHARACTER3 spot… in zone 1 at layer -3

Or you can just do this:

INT. CLASSROOM FRONT OL - DAY
&overlay DESK create
&DESK shifts to… in zone 1
&DESK scales to… in zone 1
&DESK opacity 1
