Tutorial: Stacked Cinematic Shots (#midjourney + #figma)
I've been loving stacked images lately. During @HBCoop_'s Twitter space yesterday, we realised people wanted to know how to do it.
Luckily, it's super easy! Find everything you need to know it the thread below!

Why use this format?
It looks cool and gives your feed an advantage. The post takes up more space than the usual grid of 3 to 4 images, increasing the chance of it being seen. Plus, you don't need to create a vertical shot for Twitter's cropping when working with 3 images.

How to build a story?
There are many approaches to this; however, here is a template that always works: Create three shots with the aspect ratio of 21:9.
1. Set the scene with a wide shot.
2. Capture a close-up shot of the main subject.
3. Take an action shot of the activity

How to stack the shots?
There are many tools you can use for this; however, I recommend using @figma as the free plan covers all you need.
1. Create a new file
2. Drag and drop images into Figma
3. Position the images
4. Group them with CMD + G
5. Export the selection.
