Storyboard for the final video
To ensure the audience grasps the details and design statement behind each flower, I devised a new approach: incorporating additional scenes to showcase them.
Instead of solely presenting clips of flowers, I included more shortcuts in the introduction section to provide a clearer understanding of each flower. Alongside the flowers, I included titles displaying keywords of basic information.
Rather than displaying static images, I incorporated animated shortcuts like close-up shots and the process of flower production.

There are a total 4 chapters for our final video:
- Introduction opening
In this segment, we’ll include short clips such as moving bumpers or teasers to showcase animated flowers. We’ll also pose the main question upfront: “What will future plants be like?” Following a few animation clips, a title card will unveil the project titled “Tomorrow’s Plants.” Additionally, we plan to include keywords below the title card like ‘AI PREDICT x FUTURE x EXPERIMENTAL x MIXED REALITY’ to provide an overview of our project’s basic structure.
2. Introduction of all plant
In this part, we’ll begin by showing a few words to let you know that we made these plants. We used AI keywords to imagine what future plants could look like. The animation of keyword processing, like collecting data in a network, helps explain that the flowers are based on AI keywords.
As you watch the short and slow flower animations, you’ll also learn about the AI keywords. Finally, we’ll wrap up this section by showing you all the flowers we created.
3. Mixed reality – outcome
Then, we will show our project’s outcome, and demo in mixed reality.
We plan to film indoors and outdoors individually to test the results.
4. Conclusion and credit
At the end, a question will appear asking the audience, “Do you believe these flowers will become a reality in the future?” Below the question, there will be a button labeled “Yes” and “No.” This is an important part of our project as it allows for reflection on the concept of future plants.
When people think about future plants, it’s interesting to understand what they envision for the evolution of flowers. Not only do the flowers’ beauty evoke memories of nature, but also the digitally mixed materials and interactive elements in mixed reality allow users to imagine the future of nature. Additionally, the AI keywords inspire people and raise awareness about the intersection of technology and nature.

Furthermore, once users click the buttons, there will be a session prompting the audience to provide their email addresses. We’ll send an email with the answer in maybe 50 years from now.
This interactive element engages the audience and provides a comprehensive structure to our project. By posing the question at the beginning and promising to reveal the answer in the future, we create an intriguing connection with our audience.
The Poll video demo:
Storyboard in MR
There are four steps for displaying the animation in Mixed Reality.
Before showcasing the flowers, there’s a video revealing the AI keywords that inspired their creation.
In Mixed Reality, users will engage in three main steps.
First, user will see the Ai keywords on the floor. And, the plant will grow up on the ground. Then, when user touch the plant, the plant will have different reation like wave or water drop coming up.
Following a few seconds of revealing the AI keywords, the plants will begin to grow. When users touch the flowers, they’ll exhibit different animations, such as jumping or waving, to interact with the audience.

Through this process, I gained valuable insights from my past experiences, particularly in the importance of completing animation quickly.
By efficiently applying the lessons learned from previous projects, I was able to streamline the animation process and achieve results more rapidly. This allowed for a smoother workflow and ensured timely completion of the project, enhancing overall productivity and effectiveness.
