HOW TO USE THE COMMAND & , AND , THEN , DOES IT WHILE , STARTS 

I will use examples to explain how these works

 The & command  :

EXT. FALL SCHOOL FESTIVAL - DAY

&CHARACTER 1 enters from left to screen center 

&CHARACTER 2 stands screen right 

&CHARACTER 3 enters from left to screen left 

So , Character 1 and 3 will enter the screen while Character 2 will stands screen right . 

​

& is to let many commands happening together. You can use this for spot directing.

​

The AND command :

EXT. FALL SCHOOL FESTIVAL - DAY

@CHARACTER 1 enters from left to screen center AND CHARACTER 2 enters from left to screen right AND CHARACTER 2 is run_super_speed_loop 

​

 So , Character 1 will enter the screen from left and Character 2 will enter the screen while running 

 The purpose of AND is to let commands happening at the same time. But all the commands should be on the same line.

 

The does it while command : 

EXT. FALL SCHOOL FESTIVAL - DAY

@CHARACTER 1 enters from left to screen center and CHARACTER 1 does it while run_super_speed_loop

​

The character will enter the screen while running 

This command can only be used when the character enters / walks / exits the screen. 

​

The THEN command :

EXT. FALL SCHOOL FESTIVAL - DAY

@CHARACTER 1 enters from left to screen center then CHARACTER 1 is flirt_wink_happy 

​

Character 1 will wink after she enters the screen 

The character will immediately do the next command 

​

The starts command : 

EXT. FALL SCHOOL FESTIVAL - DAY

@CHARACTER 1 starts  flirt_wink_happy 

@CHARACTER 2 starts flirt_wink_atcamera_happy 

​

Character 1 will wink while Character 2 will flirt at camera

Both the animation will be done together
