Action!
The countdown is on. Hold the frame. Nail the take.
| Control | Action | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Move Mouse | Pan the camera | Keep the camera in the center |
| Mouse Wheel | Adjust focus | Stay in the green |
| W / S | Adjust zoom in / out to keep it in the green | Stay in the green |
| Space | Press when the red ACTION! cue appears | Listen to the director! |
Overview
You are the camera operator on a set where nothing stays still for long. Keep the shot composed as the camera fights you, then hit record at exactly the right moment when the director calls ACTION!
Every take is a chaotic balancing act: keep the frame centered, find the focus, adjust the zoom, and stay ready for the countdown to hit zero. A great shot needs precision, but a perfect frame means nothing if you roll too early or miss the cue.
How to Play
During each countdown, the shot drifts out of control. Correct the framing, focus, and zoom while the timer races toward zero. When the red ACTION! cue appears, press `Space` to roll the camera.
Be careful: rolling early immediately ruins the take. Hold your nerve, react quickly, and make every second count.
Theme: Countdown
ACTION! is built around the theme Countdown. As the final seconds disappear, you must manage several moving camera controls at once and commit at the precise moment the countdown ends.
