Concept work, an invented brand

GROVE, a world-inside film

A botanical gin whose bottle is shaped like a terrarium, because inside it lives the grove its botanicals came from. The camera pushes into the glass, finds a miniature misty juniper forest, passes through into it, drifts on into a citrus grove, rises up through the surface of the gin, and comes back out to a bartender's pour. The move into the glass is built from two linked frames: the world inside was edited from the close-up, so the cut disappears.

Toolset: Nano Banana 2 for the bottle design, the miniature worlds and the linked pass-through frames, Kling 3 for motion (the approach animated from the studio shot to the forest behind the glass), Stable Audio 3 for the score, ElevenLabs for the forest, pour and ice sound, and an ffmpeg edit and mix. 21 seconds, delivered at 16:9 and 9:16.

The film, 16:9, with sound.
