The sequence is a community based (silent) film making game.
Think r/place meets r/HighQualityGifs
Here is what I understood from the Javascript code on the website.
There is a Prologue followed by 5 Acts with 50 scenes each. Each scene is either a 5 sec gif or a text with < 50 characters.
Ends in a 20 scene epilogue.
Reddit users can take these actions:
submitTextClip / submitGifClip / nominateGif / nominateText
view a Library of other user submitted clips, choose 1 to nominate.
You can copy a link to the gif you uploaded (I guess it is for sharing?) I think the shortCode for the link is the post ID in the /r/sequence subreddit. You will also see the link in the automod mail after the media is uploaded successfully.
There is also a crosspostScene function. finally there is a one-click report function to flag NSFL content.
You have no control over the captions you want for the clip you submit. everything goes through the voting and nomination process.
EDIT: There is a time lock on each scene. it unlocks one after another (~10 minutes for each scene)
Prelude seems to be bugged. Go to chapter 1 to see the movie progression, and contribute to the head.
You can change to URL to jump around to different chapters.

That actually sounds extremely fun and like it will produce some pretty funny results once its over. Getting even more hyped for it now!

considering the schematics and the function names, I assume we're making silent films.

Can’t we recreate the whole Bee Movie combined with Shrek combined with Johnny English combined with all of Sean Connery Bond movies using bots and make the ultimate meme movie?
Also won’t there be people who use bots to recreate a whole movie? How are they gonna avoid copyright (reddit)

If you inspected the source code each tile has a data attribute for starting and locking. They seem like they'll be open for 10 minutes, then lock and move on to the next one.

This sounded much better than it's execution so far.

How does this even work? I hit the ad scene button and it tells me I can choose something from the library but it's just a grey box? How to I import things into the scenes.

Also worth adding that the films will be silent. Beautify the code using this site[1], copy paste it to Notepad++ and go to line 1347. A part of that line says
s.setAttribute("muted", "muted")

I would make the Prelude "From the makers of The Button, r/place, etc." and pay homage to all the other April Fools events to start. Just my 2 cents.

Each scene is 5 seconds. One of the larger discords should try splitting a onger file and see if they can get it voted up in sequence. Or maybe something more freeform that can be assembled in 5 second chunks like Lego for film.
