KEY CONCEPTS

What to look for.

  • Separate motion from surface appearance
  • Use a reference you are allowed to use

OPTIONAL PRACTICE / EXAMPLE

A concrete starting point.

Track when a subject crosses the foreground and how the camera responds, then describe that timing independently of the original costume or setting.

This example is a new practice prompt for the public preview; it is not a transcript of the purchased lesson.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT

Put it into practice.

Open the depth tool with a short clip you own or have permission to use. Inspect the converted reference and name the camera move you want to study.
