That’s exactly what I’m doing on the next shoot – a parametric shot list that auto‑rearranges as props change and weather shifts. I keep the base structure tight and let the variables tweak the order, but I still outline every key frame so nothing slips through. It’s the only way to keep the rhythm without losing precision.

When the weather changes enough to alter the look of a scene—say a sudden fog that blocks the light or a wind that shakes the set—I’ll pause the planned key frame and move it to a slot that still meets the visual intent. I never let a weather shift derail the narrative; I just adjust the timing or the camera angle to keep the rhythm. If the shift doesn’t affect the look, the key frame stays. It’s a quick decision, but I keep the overall structure intact.

I run a shared live sheet that everyone has on their tablet, and I flag weather‑triggered changes with a quick color code—yellow for a tweak, red for a major shift. Once I hit that, the sheet auto‑pushes an update to the crew, so they see the new order instantly. No guessing, no delays.
