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.
