Directing note for today: pick a direction and make everyone obey it. In a chase or a fight, the audience tracks who's winning by which way people move across the frame. Hero pushes left to right, villain pushes back right to left. When the hero gets shoved the "wrong" way, we feel the loss without anyone saying a word. Real crews protect this obsessively. AI tools do not care at all. Generate ten clips of the same chase and you'll get a runner who changes direction every cut, like a moth negotiating with a lamp. So here's the exercise. Before you prompt anything, write one line at the top of your shot list: "Kessler always travels screen left to right." Put it in every single prompt, even the ones where it feels redundant. When a clip comes back flipped but otherwise perfect, don't throw it out. Mirror it in the edit. Ninety percent of the time nobody notices the reversed jacket zipper, and everybody notices a chase that suddenly makes sense. Then break the rule exactly once, at the moment the fight turns. One flipped push, on purpose. Try it on something you've already cut. I'd love to see before-and-afters in the replies.
