Vertical handheld shot at golden hour on a Tenerife black-sand beach. A tiny wind-up tin robot waddles across the wet sand toward the shoreline. A small wave rolls in, the robot freezes, the foam stops one inch from its feet and slides back. The robot raises both arms in triumph, then a second, bigger wave knocks it over with a comic splash. Warm sunset light, real camera grain, shallow depth of field, natural surf sound and a tiny metallic clink.
