To make this piece feel cohesive while still honoring your unique eye, here are some simple guidelines:

🎥 How to Film

• Orientation: Please film in horizontal (landscape).

• Framing: Let the plant be the clear subject, filling about half to most of the frame. Center it, or place it slightly off-center.

• Stability: Hold your camera as still as possible. If you can, rest your arms or use a tripod.

• Duration Record 5-10 seconds per clip. Start recording, settle in, and hold the shot.
• Focus & Light: Tap your screen to focus on the plant. Natural light is best—morning or evening if possible. Avoid harsh midday sun or heavy shadows.

🌿 Movement (Optional)

If you’d like to move the camera, keep it very slow and intentional:

  • A gentle push in

  • A slow arc around the plant

Stillness is just as welcome.

🎨 Background

Choose a setting where the plant stands out:

  • Simple, calm backgrounds are ideal

  • Avoid clutter or bright distractions

 

🌱 A Shared Intention

Before filming, take a brief moment with the plant.

Approach it as if you are introducing us to a being, not just capturing an object.
Let there be a sense of presence, of quiet relationship.

🔊 Sound

Don't worry about sound... It will not be included.

📁 Submitting

  • Send the original video file (not compressed if possible) to fox@foxhealing.com

  • Label it: plant_yourname

  • Feel free to include any notes about the plant or moment

 

🏆 Reciprocity

If I use your footage in the Music Video, you will receive:

  • Your name in the credits

  • A special invitation to a plant soiree

  • An optional stipend of $10/shot if you need the cash!

 

Thank you for being part of this! 🌿
