Absolute Cinema Camera

People in the way.

• Passers-by fade out of the lens. Anybody who is not part of the scene and comes close to the camera fades out, all the way to nothing against the glass, and comes back as they step away. Participants never fade, however close they stand – one of them in the foreground is a shot, not a fault. On by default, with the distance in the settings and a key to switch it on the spot.
• A crowd still costs the shot, just later. A wall of backs too far out to be faded is given three times as long as a wall of stone before the camera recomposes: stone will be there next second, people crossing the room will not.
• Keys to widen and narrow the scene, a block at a time, without opening the settings. The ring on the floor shows up for a few seconds after each change, so you can see who is in it.
