I know it’s really petty but if someone is doing a tiktok bit where they’re portraying multiple characters and they break the 180 rule I go absolutely feral
It’s the rule that if there are two characters in a scene— be it a movie, comic, tiktok, etc— there’s an invisible plane that the characters are on that the camera should only ever be on one side of.
aka, Character A should always be on the left side and Character B should always be on the right side.
It’s something that a lot of people understand intuitively without ever formally learning it, but it also means a lot of people aren’t really learning it.
WAIT YES THAT’S A PERFECT EXAMPLE
here, the 180 rule is broken intentionally for comedic effect! Even to someone that’s never Learned the rule, the change is jarring enough that’s it’s really obvious they switch sides (which is good because it’s the punchline)
I haven’t been on tumblr in ages but someone brought this post (and another) to my attention so here’s your story:
For starters, yes it’s real. The movie is called Merry Kissmas and you can see us in the opening credits. It’s a cheesy romcom christmas movie you can find on Netflix. I watched it, it’s so cheesy lol.
What happened was I was staying in this hotel in Downtown LA for Anime Expo and on my way back to the room, this film crew approached us and asked us to be extras in his movie because “it’ll be funny!” Sure why not! So it was totally intentional.
I still cosplay Fenris from time to time but I’m more active on my Facebook page if you want to find me/credit me!
