Salen Marea
The evening crossing, from the cabin windows to the wake.
A film for the harbour ferry's hundredth year. No voiceover, only the crossing as the regulars know it: the cabin hum, the wind on deck and the city getting closer.
The ferry turned a hundred, and Harbour Line wanted a film its regulars would recognise without being told what they were looking at.
The crossing, as we shot it
We rode the evening run every day for a week and filmed one stretch of it each time.
Leg | Where | What we filmed |
|---|---|---|
Leaving | The cabin | Windows and the hum |
Halfway | Open deck | Wind and the wake |
Arriving | The bow | The city getting closer |
No voiceover
Every draft with a narrator sounded like an advert. Without one, the engine and the wind tell you how long you’ve been on board, and that’s the feeling the regulars talk about.
