Insect pollination (PLANT GROWTH CYCLE)

-the animation opens with a wide shot of the flower the pollen will emerge from and the
environment around it.

-cut to the first title screen [introduction]

-close up of the stamen. From there a small glowing pollen creature emerges.

-cut to second title screen [introduction part 2]

-cut to a close up of the pollen laying down, resting on the side with his face tilted upwards. He
opens his eyes, blinks, and the glow increases slightly

-cut to the third title screen [the title of the animation]

-cut back to the pollen. From a close up of his hands [hold for a moment] the camera moves
upwards to reveal his face looking down at them. After a short examination he ensures himself that
he’s a pollen particle. He looks up

-the camera moves behind his shoulder, to reveal what he’s looking at. It’s a different flower in the
distance. It’s emitting a warm inviting glow.

-the camera zooms into the flower gradually and holds for a moment before moving onto the right
and transitioning from a dark green bush to a green plant back on pollens side

-wide shot, pollen very small in the distance singing out "that’s so far away!"

-cut to a zoom on him, camera follows as he sits down and rests his head in his hands "I can’t get
there on my own..." he mumbles while still looking in the direction of the flower

-he suddenly notices a buzzing sound and looks up quickly

-cut to a shot from above showing pollen standing on the anther, his flower and surroundings (some
plants). The camera moves closer and stops at a medium distance

-cut to pollens perspective to reveal that what was approaching was a fuzzy bee which is now
floating in the air slightly above the pollen but doesn’t seem to notice him

-the bee is now shown from the side trying to reach the nectar inside the flower

-[cut to a close up of the pollen’s actions] pollen takes the opportunity and clings onto the bee

-the camera moves behind the pistil and transitions to move out of the pistil from the flower on the
other side [so we are now seeing the action from the destination point]

-the flying bee (now with a little glowing passenger) moves closer towards the camera until it goes
above it

-the camera ‘looks’ up to a shot of bee flying above the stigma. Pollen drops down onto it

-the camera cuts again to show pollens actions more close up as he appears in the shot, jumping
down from above.

-he lands on the stigma, stretches, lays down and falls asleep
-the camera follows as his arms extend down, forming a pollen tube. As it does that we see the
yellow light fading from the core of the pollen and travelling down through the pollen tube until it
reaches the ovule (which was glowing with a faint red light)

-once the light reaches the ovule the camera stops and captures the yellow and red light combining
to form an orange ball of light. This is the seed.

-the petals of the flower turn dark and wrap around it [set up for the transition to the ground] then
fade alongside with the green ovule, leaving a glowing seed in the ground.

-the seed then sprouts and transforms into a flower [camera follows the green sprout upwards until
it reaches the intended height and grows into a flower]

-the camera zooms out to reveal the whole flower, which has characteristics of the two flowers from
the beginning combined.

-camera stops at a distance [wide shot with greenery around it, similar to the first shot] and cuts.

(alternative ending: the cut is after a new pollen particle emerges from the anther of this flower and
opens its eyes)
