CAMERA / LOOK: Handheld mini DV camcorder footage filmed by the subject herself. Slight hand shake, occasional focus hunting, imperfect framing, natural zoom adjustments, soft tape-like image quality, subtle grain, realistic auto-exposure shifts from indoor evening lighting.

STYLE: Cozy plant-care vlog with gentle ASMR elements. Relaxed pacing, minimal dialogue, candid moments. Focus on satisfying sounds: soil scooping, pot scraping, water pouring, leaves rustling, scissors snipping, gloves being pulled on.

SUBJECT: Young man in his mid-20s, casual t-shirt, rolled-up sleeves, apron, tousled hair. Calm, content energy while tending to plants.
SETTING: Small balcony/kitchen corner on a quiet evening. Warm hanging light, small table covered in newspaper, terracotta pots, bags of soil, watering can.
STORYBOARD:
→ (2s, propped medium shot) Places camera on shelf, sits at the table. "Time to repot a couple of my plants."
→ (2s, overhead shot) Scoops soil into a fresh pot. Only soil and scooping sounds.
→ (2s, close-up) Gently loosens plant roots from old pot. Soft rustling.
→ (2s, handheld shot) Holds two pots side by side, deciding. "This one's definitely outgrown its home."
→ (2s, detail shot) Trims a few dry leaves with small scissors. No dialogue.
→ (2s, medium shot) Pats soil down around the base of the plant. "There, much better."
→ (2s, macro shot) Label tag being written and pushed into soil. Pen and paper sounds only.
→ (2s, propped shot) Waters the plant slowly, water sound clear and steady.
→ (2s, warm ending shot) Steps back, admires the row of freshly potted plants. "I love how this corner is coming together."
→ (1.5s, final shot) Walks toward camera, reaches for the lens. "Catch you next time." Hand covers lens as recording ends.

AUDIO NOTES: Natural ambience soil, water pouring, scissors, leaf rustling, footsteps should be clearly audible. Dialogue quiet and casual.

REALISM NOTES: Authentic body language, natural blinking, genuine smiles, occasional thinking pauses, realistic small mistakes (soil spill, leaf drop), imperfect framing, focus breathing, warm evening lighting. Should feel like a real personal plant vlog on a consumer camcorder, not AI-generated or commercial.
