Across the eyeline

Why this direction

The change is in attention rather than position. A wide frame gives both subjects room while preserving a stable left/right map through the three beats.

Prepare before editing

Prepare a clear reference for each subject and record the left/right order. Use only material you may adapt; the example supplies no permission.

Durations are planning choices, not measured outputs. A sequence may require separate generations and editing; check provider limits before any paid run.

What to inspect first

If either face changes during the turn, first reduce that head turn. Do not simultaneously replace the wardrobe, camera and reference image.
