The Last Boatbuilder of the Marsh

Create a handcrafted documentary portrait of an aging boatbuilder working inside a weathered marsh workshop. Open with a low angle on the boat hull resting above muddy water, then use a slow lateral dolly past hand tools, wood shavings, and faded templates. Use a vintage spherical lens for gentle character and a macro lens on grain, sawdust, and worn fingertips. Golden afternoon light enters through slatted walls while cool reflections shimmer from the marsh. Capture precise hand movements, quiet pauses, and natural workshop sounds. Keep the pacing patient, tactile, and deeply human, with a restrained archival-film look.
