The Ferry Chalk Circle
A ferry deckhand scrubs a small chalk circle off the deck each night. Each morning it's back — one plank closer to the lifeboat.
Why this works on camera
Sea-spray dawn light and a mark that migrates; the deck becomes a slow-motion chessboard.
What the studio will do
Scrubbed at night
One plank over
Under the lifeboat
