Dolphin Wake — Drone Tracking a Pod

A 12-second 16:9 joyful ocean tracking shot: a pod of twenty dolphins bow-riding a boat's wake at 9 AM. The scene opens on the open ocean, the water crystal clear, the small boat cutting a white wake, dolphins already riding it, their shadows racing on the sandy bottom forty feet down. 0-4s: The drone follows from above, matching the pod's speed, the dolphins leaping in sequence — each arc catching the bright sun, water sheeting off their flanks — their shadows keeping perfect pace on the sand below. 4-8s: The drone dips lower on the leaps, the dolphins' eyes and smiles visible mid-air, the wake's foam churning, one dolphin rolling to show its white belly, the pod's formation fluid and playful. 8-12s: The tracking holds as the pod surfs the wake in perfect unison, the boat's bow wave curling, the dolphins' shadows long on the bright sand, the ocean impossibly clear. A calf surfaces beside its mother, smaller arc, smaller splash, learning the rhythm. The drone's shadow merges with the dolphins' shadows on the sand, a dark fleet racing the real one forty feet above.
