Caribou River — Migration From Above

A 15-second epic migration aerial, 16:9, 24fps. Thousands of caribou pour across a braided tundra river — a brown river of animals splitting around gravel bars, calves swimming the channels. 0-5s: the high wide shot opens on the tundra in migration season — and the herd arrives: thousands strong, a brown river of caribou pouring toward the braided river. The drone holds as the first animals plunge in, water exploding white around them. 5-10s: the crossing — the brown river of animals splits around gravel bars and rejoins in braided streams, calves swimming the deeper channels with only their heads and antler nubs showing, cows urging them on with nudges. The dust of their passage hangs over the banks in a low haze; bulls clash briefly at the water's edge and move on; the herd's flow never pauses. 10-15s: the far bank — the herd climbs out in streaming lines, shaking off water, and reforms its column across the tundra. The drone pulls back to the full scale: the living river still pouring across, the braided silver water, the tundra stretching to the horizon. Craft: thousands of caribou — cows, calves, bulls; the braided river with gravel bars; the tundra; the dust of passage. Camera: high wide shot of the crossing, the herd as a living river; slow, majestic aerial moves. Lighting: arctic sun on brown hides and silver water, the dust glowing. Mood: epic, instinctual, unstoppable. Style: clean 4K migration documentary, tundra tones and herd scale, 24fps, 15 seconds, 16:9.
