Image 1 โ Opening Door

A wide, eye-level POV shot as if the viewer is walking toward a closed arched double door, centered in the vertical frame. The door is clearly split into two symmetrical panels down the exact center, with a visible vertical seam/gap line where the two panels meet, designed like classic double doors that swing open outward from the middle. Soft dusty rose-mauve wood color with delicate floral carved patterns mirrored identically on both panels. A decorative fabric ribbon bow tied at the top center, spanning across both panels where they meet, like a gift wrap bow holding the two doors together. Warm gradient sky background transitioning from dusty rose-mauve at the top to soft warm orange near the ground, with a few flat graphic clouds drifting. Jade green and gold-cream accents on the door trim and small round decorative medallions on each panel. Flat 2D illustrated animation style (not photorealistic), risograph print texture with visible fine paper grain throughout, warm handmade artisanal feel. Perfectly symmetrical, centered composition, the central vertical seam clearly visible so it reads as two doors that will open apart from the middle. Whimsical, fantasy, warm luxurious mood, soft diffused lighting, no harsh shadows. No text, no logo, no product bottle visible in this shot โ this is only the opening establishing shot of the closed double door.Image 2 โ Indoor Scene

Flat 2D illustrated graphic design, risograph print texture with visible fine paper grain, TRUE FLAT ORTHOGRAPHIC FRONT ELEVATION VIEW like an architectural elevation drawing or dollhouse cross-section โ absolutely NO linear perspective, NO vanishing point, NO perspective depth lines, NO camera angle tilt, walls and shelf rendered completely flat and front-facing like a stage backdrop, layered flat silhouette depth only (background wall layer, midground shelf layer, foreground objects layer stacked like paper cutouts, each layer perfectly flat and parallel to the picture plane). Scene: a cozy warm home living room corner, a wooden console shelf against a textured wall styled with a ceramic vase, small decorative objects, and a stack of books, a cute cat sitting on the shelf facing forward, a soft woven rug rendered as a flat shape on the floor, a window at the side with a sheer curtain, a small potted plant in the corner, warm dusty rose-mauve wall tone blending into soft warm orange near the floor, jade green and gold-cream accent details on the shelf trim and small round decorative medallions, whimsical warm luxurious mood, soft even flat lighting, no shadows implying depth, no floating flowers, no clouds, no sky, vertical composition, no photorealism, no text, no logo, no product bottle visible
NOTE: I added the product using Adobe Photoshop.Image 3 โ Flower Garden

Flat 2D illustration, risograph print texture (fine ink grain, NOT paper-craft/cutout material โ flat printed illustration look, not a physical paper diorama), an immersive scene of stepping straight into a world made entirely of flowers โ as if transported inside the scent itself. The whole frame is filled with our three hero flowers arranged in clear flat layered depth: large pink roses in the foreground layer closest to camera, soft peonies in the midground layer, and clusters of small white baby's breath in the background layer furthest back โ each layer a flat illustrated silhouette shape stacked one behind another, with a soft subtle flat shadow separating each layer for gentle depth cues. Absolutely no linear perspective, no vanishing point, no 3D rendering, no paper texture, no craft/cutout material look โ just clean flat opaque color illustration with risograph ink grain. Soft warm dusty rose-mauve to orange gradient light glowing through gaps between the flower layers. A few jade green leaf shapes as sparse accents. No product bottle, no hand, no cat, no door, no text, no logo, no watermark. Clean bold outlines, whimsical dreamy mood, vertical 9:16 composition.Image 4 โ Product Shot

Flat 2D illustration, A light pink, textured background with a cream-colored diffuser bottle in the center. The bottle has a narrow neck and a wider base, adorned with delicate illustrations of pink roses and small white flowers. The text "StoryScent" is printed in gold foil on the lower part of the bottle. Several thin, light-colored reeds extend upwards from the bottle's opening, fanned out slightly. The overall aesthetic is soft, elegant, and floral.Image 5 โ Clouds

Flat 2D illustration style, A collection of stylized, cream-colored clouds with swirling patterns and subtle green leaf accents are scattered across a dark blue, textured background. The clouds vary in size and shape, with some appearing wispy and elongated, while others are more rounded and voluminous. The overall composition evokes a sense of traditional East Asian art, possibly inspired by ink wash paintings or decorative motifs.Image 6 โ Floating Petals

Flat 2D illustration style, risograph print texture, a dynamic composition of scattered flower petals (pink rose petals, blush peony petals, tiny white baby's breath petals) drifting and floating with a strong sense of depth and dimension โ petals at varying distances and sizes creating layered depth (some larger and closer in the foreground, some smaller and farther in the background), each petal gently tilted and rotated at different angles with soft subtle drop shadows beneath nearby petals to reinforce the layered 3D-like depth, dynamic organic scattered arrangement, isolated on a solid pure chroma-key blue background (#0047AB), no gradient, no texture noise on the background, vertical compositionImage 7 โ Rose

Flat 2D illustration style, risograph print texture, the same blush pink peony flower bloom design, but shown from a side profile angle view instead of front-facing, no stem, no leaves, no other elements, centered isolated subject, isolated on a solid pure chroma-key green background (#00FF00), no shadow, no gradient, vertical compositionImage 9 โ Hand

Flat 2D illustration style, risograph print texture, a young woman's hand and forearm reaching gently upward as if about to touch something floating in mid-air, showing the BACK of the hand facing the camera (dorsal view, NOT the palm), correct natural human hand anatomy โ exactly five fingers including thumb, correct proportions, fingers gently relaxed and slightly curled in a natural soft gesture, smooth skin, elegant slender fingers, anatomically accurate joints and finger spacing. Keep everything completely plain and unadorned: no patterns, no decorative motifs, no floral print, no embroidery, no jewelry, no bracelet, no rings, no nail polish, no sleeve cuff detail โ just plain smooth skin in a solid warm skin tone color with clean bold outlines, simple flat color fill, nothing else. Isolated on solid pure chroma green background (#00FF00), no shadow, no gradient background, no other objects, centered composition, vertical 9:16Image 10 โ Butterfly

Flat 2D illustration style, risograph print texture, the same butterfly design (same wing pattern, same dusty rose-mauve, jade green, and gold-cream color palette), but shown from a different angle โ a side profile view with wings mostly folded upward, as if perched or captured mid-flap from the side, clean bold outlines, opaque flat color fills, isolated on solid pure chroma blue background (#0047AB), no shadow, no gradient background, no other objects, centered composition, vertical 9:16Video Generation Prompts

Animated motion graphics, flat 2D illustration style, risograph print texture, sequential motion in one continuous shot: (1) the bow knot at the center loosens and unravels smoothly, then the entire ribbon comes free as one single continuous piece and drifts/flies off together in one direction (e.g. diagonally up and to the side) as if caught by a gust of wind โ both tails and the loops move together as a single unit, not separating or flying apart from each other โ weightless, graceful drifting motion, no sudden snap, exits smoothly out of one edge of frame; (2) immediately after, the two door panels swing open outward from the center seam, revealing a solid pure chroma-key blue background (#0047AB) filling the doorway opening instead of any interior scene; (3) the camera slowly pushes forward through the open doorway, the door frame and panels moving past the edges of frame as the camera advances, until the blue screen fills the entire frame edge to edge with no door or environment visible. Sharp focus throughout every stage, no motion blur, no depth-of-field blur, smooth continuous camera push with no cuts, vertical compositionFlowers floating out of the door.

Animated motion graphics, flat 2D illustration style, sequential motion in one continuous shot on a solid pure chroma-key blue background (#0047AB): (1) the frame starts completely empty โ plain solid blue background only, no petals visible; (2) a scattered mix of flower petals (pink rose petals, blush peony petals, tiny white baby's breath clusters) begins emerging from a single point at the exact center of frame, each petal traveling outward in a straight radial trajectory directly toward the camera โ petals start small and distant at the center point, then grow larger as they approach the camera lens, moving in perfectly straight lines outward from center (not curving, not drifting sideways), different petals launching at slightly staggered times and angles so they fan out in all directions evenly; (3) petals continue accelerating toward camera, growing large enough to pass beyond the edges of frame as if flying past the viewer, one by one exiting past the camera until none remain and the frame returns to being completely empty โ plain solid blue background only, no petals remaining. Crisp sharp-edged petals throughout with zero edge softening, sharp focus, no motion blur, no depth-of-field blur, smooth continuous motion with no hard cuts, vertical compositionIndoor scene shot

Animate this exact illustrated scene, keeping the flat 2D illustration art style, linework, color palette, and every object exactly as shown in the reference frame โ do not redesign or restyle anything.
Camera: Start on a wide, soft zoomed-out view of the room, slightly blurred and overexposed/bright (as if the scene is just coming into focus). Camera slowly pushes straight in toward the console shelf, the blur clears and exposure settles into the normal warm lighting of the scene, ending on the same locked front-elevation framing as the reference image. Camera movement is a straight, centered push-in only โ no pan, no tilt, no perspective distortion, keep the flat orthographic front view throughout.
Subject motion: A small orange tabby cat walks in from the left side of the frame (off-screen), steps up and jumps smoothly onto the console shelf/table, then settles into a sitting pose facing forward in the same spot as the reference image, tail giving a small gentle flick once seated.
Environment motion: A soft breeze drifts in from the window โ the sheer curtain gently sways and billows inward, the curtain's hanging tassels sway lightly, the potted plant's leaves rustle and sway gently, the small hanging wall sconce pendant swings very subtly. All motion soft, slow, and continuous, no sudden movement.
Mood/light: warm, soft, cozy afternoon light, gentle ambient motion only, no flickering, no harsh shadow changes.
Duration: ~5-6 seconds. No camera shake, no added objects, no text, no logo, no watermark.Create the atmosphere and transition into the flower garden.

Animate in the same flat/illustrated art style as the reference flowers โ keep linework, color palette (dusty rose-mauve, soft pink, gold-cream accents), and rendering style consistent throughout, with a dimensional, layered depth to the petals (not flat paper-thin โ soft painterly volume and shading on each petal).
STAGE 1 โ Floating petals (0-2.5s):
A scattering of small loose petals from the rose and the peony (small individual petals, not full flower heads โ not too many, not too large in frame โ leave generous open negative space around them, well-balanced composition) drift and float gently in mid-air on a solid pure chroma blue background (#0047AB). Movement is soft, weightless, with no fixed direction โ petals tumble, rotate, and drift slowly and randomly, as if suspended in a light breeze, some drifting closer to camera and some farther for a sense of dimension.
STAGE 2 โ Hand touch (2.5-4s):
A young woman's hand enters from the bottom or side of frame โ youthful, slender, delicate fingers, smooth skin, back of hand facing camera, natural anatomically correct proportions โ reaching gently upward and closing softly around one of the floating petals, as if gently catching and holding it in a light, delicate grasp.
STAGE 3 โ Transition into flower garden (4-6s):
At the moment the hand holds the petal, the petals bloom and multiply outward from that point, seamlessly transitioning and expanding into the full immersive flower garden scene โ layered depth of roses, peonies, and baby's breath filling the whole frame, warm dusty rose-mauve to soft gold light glowing through the blooms, as if the camera has been pulled inside the flower world itself.
STAGE 4 โ Transition back out to blue screen (6-8s):
From within the flower garden, the flowers burst and scatter outward in all directions away from camera โ petals flying past camera on all sides โ dispersing rapidly until the frame clears completely back to solid pure chroma blue (#0047AB), ending on a clean empty blue screen.
Style lock: flat/illustrated painterly rendering throughout, consistent linework and color palette across all stages, correct hand anatomy (five fingers, natural proportions, back of hand visible), no photorealism, no 3D render, no text, no watermark, no logo, vertical 9:16 composition, smooth continuous motion between each stage (no hard cuts).Add flying butterflies.

Animate this exact butterfly illustration, keeping the same art style, wing pattern, and colors exactly as shown โ do not redesign or restyle.
Motion: The butterfly flutters its wings gently and continuously (soft up-down wing flap cycle), while drifting in a slow, gentle looping flight path โ moving in small loops, figure-eights, or drifting side to side and slightly up and down. Keep all movement contained well within the frame at all times โ the butterfly should never approach or cross the frame edges, staying roughly within the centered area where it currently sits, drifting no more than a small distance from its starting position.
Body motion: antennae sway very slightly, wings flap naturally with soft easing (not mechanical/linear), body tilts gently as it turns direction.
Background: stays solid pure chroma blue (#0047AB) throughout, no shadow, no gradient, no other elements entering frame.
Style lock: flat illustration linework and coloring stay exactly consistent frame to frame, no morphing/warping of the wing pattern, no photorealism, no 3D render, no text, no watermark, vertical 9:16, loopable motion, duration ~3-4 seconds.Product shot

Animate this exact product photograph, keeping the bottle design, label artwork, reed sticks, lighting, and background exactly as shown โ do not redesign or restyle anything.
Camera: Slow, smooth push-in toward the product, moving straight forward on a centered axis with no pan or tilt โ starting from the current framing and ending on a closer, more intimate framing of the bottle and label, keeping the bottle centered throughout. Camera motion is gentle and continuous, gradually decelerating as it settles into the final close-up (subtle ease-out, not linear/mechanical).
Subject/environment motion: Keep motion minimal and elegant โ the reed sticks sway with an almost imperceptible gentle sway, tiny soft dust/light particles drift lazily in the air catching the light, background stays static with no camera shake.
Light: soft, warm, consistent lighting throughout the push-in, no flicker, no exposure shift.
Style lock: same photographic/rendering style, color grading, and textures as the reference image throughout, no morphing of the bottle or label design, no added objects, no text changes, no watermark, no logo changes, vertical 9:16 composition.
Duration: ~3-4 seconds. No hard cuts, single continuous shot.
