Directing the camera

You point the camera by asking. This clip runs the whole move set on one document — so every step is comparable.

What it covers

  • Zoom — a target plus a level. The target is any element, or the whole app; the level is a ratio — how much of the frame the target fills.
  • Levels — presets: wide 0.50, medium 0.75, close-up 0.95, super-close-up 1.20 — or any number in between, like 1.15.
  • Anchor — once cropped in, the point that holds still: nine named points, or any { x, y } — the numbers are fractions of the screen, so 0.7 sits 70% across.
  • Hard cut — an instant jump, no travel.
  • Snap — takes a number: how much of the move's path to cut from the middle. Built for typing: start the keys, snap onto the field.
  • Pan — once cropped in, drifts across what's in frame.
  • Follow — the camera rides the cursor between targets, zoom unchanged.

Say it like

  • "Start with a wide shot of the app and do a 5% zoom in."
  • "Zoom in to a close-up on the moodboard in 0.7s."
  • "Anchor top-center and let the bottom crop." / "Anchor at 0.7, 0.3."
  • "Hard cut to the whole app."
  • "Start typing, then snap onto the comment box."
  • "Follow my cursor to the owner column."
