En lerkonstval i en storm

Claymation. A whale breaches from a stormy clay sea and rises in a slow-motion arc above the waves, body fully extended, water sheeting off its flanks. At the top of the arc it rolls onto one flank, hangs for a beat, then falls back toward the surface. Midair, the camera sweeps beneath its belly in a bold dynamic move, revealing the vast churning ocean far below and the full stretch of its clay body against the sky, then holds as it crashes down and white clay foam bursts outward across the frame. Visible fingerprints, tool marks, and material imperfections in the clay. Slightly stepped, handmade movement. The sea is sculpted clay with rolling modelled waves and white clay foam. Audio: a deep rush of water, wind, the dull slap of clay on clay, distant gulls. Composition: subject centered, action contained within the central third of the frame.
