Hi there,
I need 4 characters to run through 3 zones of a background with one behind the other and with the camera following them.
I cannot think of how to do it!!?
Are you using INK or limelight? And where about’s did you want them on the screen? (Up close, mid screen, background?).
I can write you a template 
Hey!! well that would be amazing.
I am using INK
So I would like them as close to the camera so if they were still it would be screen centre. I guess up close.
Thanks so much xx
I always use spot directing so I hope this is what you meant that you wanted. Let me know if you wanted something different and I’ll be sure to help 
Change the character names and background to suit your story 
EXT. ABBEY GARDEN - DAY
&AMIRA spot 1.280 -100 0 in zone 1 at layer 4 and AMIRA faces right and AMIRA is idle
&ALBIE spot 1.280 -150 0 in zone 1 at layer 3 and ALBIE faces right and ALBIE is idle
&WILLIAM spot 1.280 -200 0 in zone 1 at layer 2 and WILLIAM faces right and WILLIAM is idle
&TRAVON spot 1.280 -250 0 in zone 1 at layer 1 and TRAVON faces right and TRAVON is idle
@transition fade in black 2
&AMIRA walks to spot 1.280 1300 0 in 6 and AMIRA faces right and AMIRA does it while run_athletic_offset
&ALBIE walks to spot 1.280 1250 0 in 6 and ALBIE faces right and ALBIE does it while run_athletic_offset
&WILLIAM walks to spot 1.280 1200 0 in 6 and WILLIAM faces right and WILLIAM does it while run_athletic_offset
&TRAVON walks to spot 1.280 1150 0 in 6 and TRAVON faces right and TRAVON does it while run_athletic_offset
@pause for 1
@pan to zone 3 in 3.5
OMG just tried it and its PERFECT!! thank you so much!
I would never have figured that out. I keep trying to use @follow command! Was a nightmare.
Thanks for saving hours of my life 
Your welcome I never use the @follow command, I prefer spot directing everything so I have full control.
If you need anything else, I’ll happily help
Me too 
thanks so much again! I will certainly let you know if I get stuck again. Really appreciate it. xx
