Project Video Storyboard
- Static shot of the Bloom Timer Vase sits off-center.
- Close-up of the vase. Seeing the 3D-printed texture clearly. The flower is currently fully retracted inside.
- User enters frame, sits at the desk, places a notebook and phone down. Their hand adjusts the vase slightly, bringing it into their “working zone.”
- Over-the-shoulder shot: the user simply places their phone down near the vase, then cut to the flower just beginning to rise a little.
- A sequence showing time passing while the flower grows.
- Hero close-up of the flower fully extended, petals open. The user’s hands pause on the keyboard and then relax.
- The user gently lifts the vase off the desk. As soon as it leaves the surface, the flower smoothly retracts back into the vase.
- The user sets the vase down again. The top is now flat with flower hidden. User smiles slightly or takes a breath, ready for the next block.
- (Display Mode Button)Close-up of a discreet button on the vase or nearby base. The user presses it. Cut to shot of flower rising smoothly to full height and staying there.
- Stylized “beauty shots” of the fully bloomed flower in Display Mode, in different contexts.
- Quick peek inside: a semi-transparent CGI overlay showing the servo and linkage moving as the flower rises.
That looks super interesting! It would be great if I could see the 3D models or references for the vase and the flowers. I have a lot of trust in your modeling skills, so I hope it’s not just an ordinary vase but has some other style or theme—perhaps a Gothic version or something similar ;)
I’m very excited to see this come to life, literally! I have been interested to see a motor incorporated into a project since my electric toothbrush teardown, so I’m looking forward to this. I know I’ll learn a lot from your instructable.
