Layers aren't working

Creator's Corner Directing Help & Tips

I’m trying to direct a bird-eye view bed scene and I want the character beneath the blanket, but no matter what I try she stays above it.

script looks like this:

INT. WHITE BED - NIGHT with WBNIGHT to 1.000 -83 -373

&overlay NIGHTT create

&overlay NIGHTT opacity 1

&overlay NIGHTT shifts to -1557 -112 in zone 1

&overlay NIGHTT scales to 3.730 3.730

&overlay WBNIGHT shifts to layer 1

&overlay NIGHTT shifts to layer 2

&CHAR spot 1.280 30 43

@CHAR changes into outfit

&CHAR moves to layer -1

-overlay NIGHTT is the tint that makes the scene look like night-time, and WBNIGHT is the blanket overlay.

Can anyone help with this?

&CHAR spot 1.280 30 43 in zone 1 at layer -1

Didn’t work. The blanket overlay disappeared completely

Make sure your coordinates are correct. Use the overlay helper to move it around and change its size (can be found in spot directing).

You’re in zone 1, correct.

I got it to work!

This is what I did-
INT. WHITE BED - NIGHT with NIGHTT to 3.730 -1557 -112 in zone 1 at layer 2

&overlay WBNIGHT create

&overlay WBNIGHT opacity 1

&overlay WBNIGHT shifts to layer 1

&overlay WBNIGHT shifts to -2 -52 in zone 1

&overlay WBNIGHT scales to 5.700 5.700

&CHAR spot 1.280 30 43 in zone 1 at layer -1

@CHAR changes into outfit

Awesome, I see you used diff coordinates for one of the overlays :yay:
