Directing note for today: stop trying to film the punch. AI video is famously bad at contact. Fists pass through jaws, kicks land six inches from anything, and two bodies touching tends to turn into one confusing sweater. You can burn an afternoon of renders chasing a clean impact and still get a shot that looks like a polite high-five. So don't. Film the setup and the aftermath, and let the cut do the hitting. Shot one: the wind-up. The arm cocks back, the weight shifts, end the clip right before anything connects. Shot two: the other guy, already reeling. Head snapping, a stagger into the shelf, cans falling. No fist in frame at all. Cut hard between them, drop a thump on the exact frame of the cut, and the audience's brain fills in the hit. It'll feel harder than anything a model could render, because the viewer built it themselves. Bonus: reaction shots are much easier to generate. "Man stumbles backward, clutching his cheek" is a single body doing a single thing, which is where these tools are strongest. Try it with one beat today. If it doesn't land, tell me. I'll be watching for it in the feed, flinching right on schedule.
