Watch out

One behaviour per clip. Name its trigger in the scene and the operator's correction after it; follow it once and finish on its result.practitioner: Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 realism (Dan Kieft)
Add a line that bans recording graphics: indicators, timestamps, battery icons, focus brackets, grids, borders and subtitles. Imperfection has to come from how the camera moves, focuses and exposes, never from drawn-on graphics.practitioner: Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 realism (Dan Kieft)
