Science Microfilm Series Exhibition - Epiphyllum in the Sunshine

DE Epiphyllum in the Sun

Exploration group members: Liu Yixin, Yang Yiming, Wang Man

The courtyard of Epiphyllum Blossom blooms deep at night, and it is suspected that the fairy maidens are coming together. The jade is pure and the dust is not stained, and the romantic poets wander alone. Epiphyllum Blossom, as a beauty under the moon, is rarely seen, and requires patience to wait for a glimpse of her beauty.

In order for her grandfather to catch a glimpse of the blooming Epiphyllum, Yixin and her friends began to explore, speculate, hypothesize, experiment, and verify. During this process, the seeds of science quietly sprouted in the hearts of the children.

Honors

The film won three awards at the 7th Science Imaging Festival, namely the Best Director Award of the "Science Kaleidoscope", the Excellent Work Award of the Science Principles One Point Communication, and the First Prize of the 7th Science Imaging Festival. These three students represented Anhui Province in the award ceremony and on-site skill testing of the National Youth Science Imaging Festival.

Story plot

Yixin saw that the Epiphyllum was about to bloom, and wanted her grandfather to see the beautiful Epiphyllum blooming, but unfortunately, she missed it twice because both of her grandparents were asleep. Frustrated, Yi Xin was preoccupied and was discovered by Yiming and Wang Man. The three of them decided to conduct a "black and white reversal" experiment on Tanhua.

So the three of them cleared up a miscellaneous room, arranged it, and took turns to take care of the Epiphyllum. They strictly controlled the humidity, ventilation, and brightness of the room, and conducted a black and white reversal experiment on the Epiphyllum.

Finally, hard work pays off to those who have a heart. Epiphyllum finally blooms! The children eagerly waited for their grandfather who went out to buy groceries in the morning to see the blooming Epiphyllum. Grandpa was amazed when he saw the Epiphyllum and was moved by the children's hearts, expressing that it was the most beautiful Epiphyllum he had ever seen!

shooting process

From script screening to filming, every detail in the past two months reflects the children's diligent efforts. The tutors and children have edited and revised the script N times before and after, striving for the best.

We would like to express our gratitude to Professor Han Demin from the School of Life Sciences at Anhui University, Professor Zhang Yingwen from the Experimental Epiphyllum Donor, and Grandma Chen Fengyu from the Senior Epiphyllum Farmer for their assistance. Thank you to Liu Yixin's father and grandmother, Wang Man's mother, and Grandpa Yang Yiming for their logistical support.
