Or let the director choose a style for your topic.
What it looks like, and when to use it.
Photoreal frames with shallow depth of field, natural light and a film-grade grade, scored like a wildlife series, with clean labels where the explaining happens. Nature documentary is for topics that should feel real and awe-inspiring.
Best for
- Biology, wildlife and the planet
- Science lessons
- Travel and place stories
Try a brief like
- “How octopuses change colour”
- “Why glaciers are blue”
- “How a forest talks through fungi”
The art direction the director follows.
Every style is a full art direction, not a filter: its own palette, type, motion and music. This is the brief the director works from for Nature documentary.
- Look
- Photorealistic cinematic nature-documentary photography, shot on a full-frame camera with 35–85mm lenses, shallow depth of field, natural golden or overcast light, film-grade colour grading, subtle atmospheric haze. Explanatory beats keep the real photo and add thin white motion-graphics overlays (hairline arrows, small rings, clean sans-serif labels) like a premium science documentary.
- Motion
- Slow documentary camera: long push-ins and lateral drifts (Ken Burns on stills, 2–4% scale over a shot), rack-focus by blurring foreground/background plates, overlays draw on with hairline strokes and fade out. No bouncy easing, no pops.
- Music
- Cinematic nature-documentary score: sustained strings, soft piano, gentle choir pads, slow swells — awe and curiosity.
- Type
- Clean humanist sans in white, small, lowercase-friendly; lower-third captions with a thin rule.
