Slow, whispering entry. Suggestive rather than revealing. The viewer feels like they’re entering a hidden, sacred realm where the wild resists human presence. The wolves exist, but remain unseen. The land itself feels alive, whispering their presence.

The first partial sighting: a silhouette in the mist, a shadow in the trees, a distant figure on the shoreline. Rhythm of hide-and-reveal, alternating presence with absence. Gradual reveal, tension between seen and unseen.

Shift into tension and emotion: wolves hunting, scavenging salmon remains, enduring storms or harsh conditions. Core dramatic heart of the story: intensity, energy, resilience.

The wolves are placed in their greater environment: ancient forests, tidal rhythms, seasonal cycles. Slows down the rhythm, leaning into meditative, archetypal feeling. The wolves as part of something older and larger than themselves.

Expanding scope into ecological interconnectedness. Wolves embedded in ecosystem. Sequences tie wolves to the wider ecosystem: gulls feeding on salmon scraps, forests nourished by marine cycles, wolves moving seamlessly through intertidal zones.

Ends on humility and mystery, presence dissolving into absence. The wolves slip back into the unseen, their presence felt more than shown.
