INTRO
A PLANE flies high in the sky, intro text reveals on the clouds as it passes. It flies lower, revealing text on the mountains. We get a close-up of a MAN looking down on the landscape, he lifts his binoculars, and we get a POV shot through his binoculars showing text on the mountains.
MAIN
Back to a CLOSE UP of the man, he seems to spot something. We get a normal POV shot to a far below mountain spire. The binoculars come up, bringing us instantly closer to the spire. On top is a nest with a large egg. It starts cracking and tilts from side to side. CLOSE UP again of the man looking surprised and happy. He lifts the binoculars again, and we see a head popping out of the egg, partially covered by eggshell. The man starts steering the plane down to find a place to land.
LONG SHOT from the ground where he is coming in, the plane wiggling precariously trying to home in on the "landing strip." WIDE SHOT from the side of the plane when it's landing, bouncing several times before skittering to a halt. The man climbs out, shouldering a backpack. He walks over to the mountain spire, looking up its length.
Spitting in his hands, and rubbing them together, he leaps up to grab a hold of the closest ledge, and continues to climb.
Goes to FULL SHOT of the man climbing vertically. One of his handholds gives out, and he’s left hanging by one hand. He uses the momentum to swing around and grab a crack on the opposite side, now hanging with his back to the wall. He lets go of the first hand, grabs onto his other hand and pulls on upwards.
MEDIUM SHOT at the top of the spire, just as the man climbs over the top, sweating and breathing hard. He stands up with his hands on his knees, trying to recover his breath, when he suddenly gapes in astonishment.
FULL SHOT of the dragon bursting free of the egg, sitting up and peering about confused. Suddenly a shadow looms over it, and it looks up, just in time to see a large net falling over it.
Out to the man holding the net up by its handle, grinning and examining the dragon. He produces a glass jar, which he stuffs the dragon into, popping a few holes in the lid. He happily stuffs the jar in his backpack, taking a final look around. Satisfied, he drops himself over the ledge, climbing down.
Down to the bottom of the mountain again, the man is dropping into view, adjusting his backpack and walking over to the plane. He stuffs his backpack in the back, and jumps in and starts the engines.
Shot from behind, where the plane takes off in a highly uncontrolled manner. Shot from the other side where the plane barely clears a jutting rock face.
Well into the air, the man is flying along. Shot from the back where the jar is popping out of the backpack, rolling into the seat. The dragon is floundering about inside, trying to free itself from confinement. The jar rolls onto the floor, shattering. In the process the dragon is entangled in some wiring. Struggling it begins to chew on the wires, suddenly getting electrocuted. It gets angry and blows out a gout of flame. This breaks the tail rudder controls, and the man loses control of the plane.
Shot where the plane is waving about, moving generally moving back where it took off. The man yanks on the joystick in desperation, and yanks it off. The plane drops straight out of shot. CAMERA pans further in the direction it was originally moving, and after a short while the dragon is flying into shot, carrying the man by his backpack.
The dragon is vigorously flapping its wings, barely making it atop the spire with the nest. The man is dropped onto the top of the spire in a heap. FADE OUT.
FADE IN to the man and the dragon sitting side by side, dangling their feet over the ledge of the spire. The man feeds the dragon a piece of his lunch, when a humongous shadow falls over them both. The dragon looks up showing happiness, while the man goes very pale and looks afraid. Screen goes black to a loud, rumbling dragon roar.
