Does any video-generation work document explicit controls for over-the-shoulder shot/reverse-shot dialogue and the 180-degree rule, and what do its authors say still fails?
ShoulderShot (arXiv 2508.07597v2) documents a pipeline for OTS dialogue: a finetuned Flux-dev generates one dual-shot image in which character A is always on the left and B on the right (its implementation of the 180-degree rule), each crop is animated with a finetuned Wan I2V model as an 8-second looping video, and the loops are lip-synced and assembled. Training pairs were mined by detecting an A-B-A shot alternation in dialogue footage. The authors state precise eye contact is not solved. ShotDirector (arXiv 2512.10286v1) claims editing-pattern-aware prompting and camera pose control; only its abstract was read.

Curator qualifications: ShoulderShot implements the 180-degree rule by fixing character A left and B right in a generated dual-shot image, then animates crops (documented AI research).
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
