Directing note for today: before you generate a single fighter, generate the room empty. One wide, locked-off shot of the space with nobody in it. The bar, the stairwell, the parking deck, whatever. Make it boring on purpose. Then use that frame as your reference for every shot that follows. Two things happen. The first is practical: your backgrounds stop drifting. The doorway stays on the left, the pillar stays where the pillar was, and the window doesn't quietly become a vending machine between cuts. Half the "this feels off" in AI action is the room reinventing itself behind the actors. The second is the one I care about. When you start the scene on that empty wide, the audience memorizes the room before anything happens in it. They clock the exit, the railing, the glass table nobody should get thrown through. Now every beat has stakes, because they know where everyone is and what's nearby to break. Geography is suspense on a delay. Bonus move: put the empty frame back at the very end, wrecked. Same angle, same lens, chairs everywhere, nobody standing. You don't need to show who won. The room tells you. Try it on your next sequence and post the before and after. I want to see some wrecked rooms.
