Uncontrolled joy

The prompt

Stop-motion claymation close-up of a stern elderly fisherman with a bushy white beard and a yellow rain hat on a wooden dock at sunrise, handcrafted clay textures, stationary camera. 0–2s: a tiny golden fish rises out of the bucket beside him and floats up to his eye level. 2–6s: his bushy eyebrows rise and his stern frown cracks, breaking into a slowly widening smile. 6–8s: he beams at the hovering fish with open-mouthed delight, cheeks bunched, eyes crinkled. Throughout: soft pink and gold sunrise light, visible thumbprint textures in the clay, gentle stop-motion frame cadence, fixed camera.
