For example, if a stack of pyramids has been established to be a person in a scene, having that "person" hold a small yellow a pyramid and move as though writing with a pencil is acceptable, but the active player could not hold the yellow pyramid as a pencil and gesture as though writing herself, because her hands in that case would be "on stage." Likewise, animating a white pyramid as though it is rising from a group of red-and-yellow pyramids is acceptable for indicating "smoke," but the active player could not simply mime the shape and motion of smoke with her empty hands. |
