Technically Mayas made a mistake with the calendar and this is the “correct” year, in which the world ends, not 2012. But haha I don’t believe in it either.

What would be considered advanced directing?

heythere · June 18, 2020, 7:41pm

This definition varies between different people, but for me a story has advanced directing when it:

uses spots for characters other than screen left/screen center/screen right
uses layers correctly so characters aren’t on top of each other when they aren’t supposed to
has overlays with certain layers so characters walk behind/in front of them
has people walk in correctly and not slide in
zooms centered well and not all janky, maybe within a certain time or instantly
overlays animated decently (rotating, sliding, fading, scaling, etc.)
transitions between scenes
use of props properly
tappable overlays if you’re really advanced

Is it because of the stories on the app or is it something else?
