00:08 · The frames

Same morning, forty stills.

A single sculler on a misty lake as the sun breaks the horizon

First light

The bow of the shell cutting still water, spray catching the sun

The bow

A rower's hands on carbon oar handles, water on the skin

The catch

Two rowers carrying the shell overhead down the dock

Down to the water

Dew on the carbon weave of the hull

Carbon, wet

A blade entering the water, the splash frozen in low sun

Entry

The shell from directly above, its wake trailing behind

From above

One move. No cut.

The drone holds the boat for ninety metres. Scroll it.

Log in. Atlas out.
