PIP: PRESS & WASH
An 8-second film in two 4-second shots, cut on the beat at 120 BPM. PRESS is pushed into the lens and WASH comes back out of it, so the product is the transition. Blender previs drives the motion of both shots.
At a glance
Role
Director. Set the direction changes, signed off the previs, chose the model and selected the takes.
Tools
- Blender
- Wan 3.0 Prime on fal
- Kling 3 Pro Motion Control (tested)
- FFmpeg
- Python pipeline
Outcomes
- Blender previs used directly as the motion input for both shots.
- Kling Motion Control rejected the grey-box previs; Wan 3.0 Prime followed it in a 480p test, then at 720p.
- PRESS used its 720p take after the test; WASH used the fourth of four 720p takes.
How the direction changed
Direction changes on 11 September 2026, recorded in the campaign file with what each one replaced.
No cutaway to the product: one continuous shot.
Keep the 4-second PRESS reveal; replace the rest with a separate 4-second WASH shot.
Make it lively and use the product as the transition: PRESS pushed into the lens, WASH pulled back out, cut on the beat.
The Blender animation must drive the motion directly.
Try Kling Motion Control with the previs. The request was rejected at validation.
The Wan test works: run PRESS at 720p and set up WASH on Wan.
