Story

I wasn't completely happy with my previous script, I felt as though I was trying to get too much in for a short animation and it tailed off a bit towards the end, so here's the new version: a shorter more streamlined tale with a magical ending!

There is a man made from wood whose fingers take the form of pencils. 
He is a novelist.

In the past books used to be very popular, but now these have been replaced by 
TV and film, bookshops are closing as fewer and fewer books are sold.

Unfortunately our hero knows nothing but writing, books are his life's work 
so he continues to write: but with no-one to read them the stories never truly come to life.

Then one day, in the library where he works, a woman named Margarita picks up one his discarded pages. 
Margarita, of all people, appreciates a good story . . for she's made from the pages of books.

Under her hands the stories quite literally come to life: with a few deft folds 
the sheet is transformed into a bird which flies towards the writer.

The novelist is entranced by the way Margarita breathes life into his written words 
and begins working at a furious pace. Finally, when the novel is finished 
Margarita shows him what they've created: she has transformed his words 
into a magical landscape, all made from paper.

They take hands and step over the threshold into the world of the novel, 

shut the door behind them and are gone!
