John O’Kane @johnokane.bsky.social · 17/05/2026On this technique I put so much work into trying to figure out stability over camera motion, I forget to consider the still screens. I mean it's valid to focus on that (no-one will want to play a game that looks like a bag of worms), but it can be nice to consider shots here and there. 183
