3dsense Media School presents
A Parachute Dogs Production
"Meet the Librarian"

[a male librarian - wearing a nametag that reads "Joni D." - is feeding a goldfish sitting in a bowl on his desk]
LIBRARIAN: [notices some noise at the other end of the library]
[the camera pans around to show those patrons that are the source of the noise]
OLD WOMAN: [talking to a statue like it's a real person]
BOY: [listening to music on his headphones]
LIBRARIAN: [shrugs his shoulders, then tries to reshelve a book on the top shelf, but one of the steps on the ladder cracks, causing him to fall and knock over the shelves like dominoes]
OLD WOMAN: [still talking to the statue, oblivious to the falling shelves heading her way]
LIBRARIAN: [runs and pushes her out of the way]
BOY: [listening to his music, he's unable to hear the falling shelves]
LIBRARIAN: [jumps on a bookcart and races to his rescue, pulling him out of the way just in time]
[a wheel on the bookcart comes loose, then rolls across the floor and gently taps against another bookshelf, cracking its base and causing another domino effect]
LIBRARIAN: [notices the bookshelves heading toward a young girl and his desk with the goldfish on it, so - in slow motion - chooses to save the girl]

From azarudeen.com:

During the second half of 2009, I worked on a Shortfilm with my classmates. It was a very enriching journey throughout that project. Many obstacles and so on, but we managed to finish last year. Right now, the 4 mins Animation short is waiting for MUSICAL SCORE.

I think should be able to release it in a few months time.

Production Duration :4months plus
