Script Take #2

Act 1:

Setting: blizzard snow covered twisted mountain trail
Camera zooms in to mountain ravine covered in snow on a shadow of a character in the snow
The Camera zooms into reveal a warrior marooned in the snow under a tree pulling his clothing tighter around himself, all the while shivering from the cold
The warrior begins to look to his left and right. 
Camera follows his view and stops to his right where a bear is also shivering in the cold
The Warrior stares at the bear  during a wide camera shot and begins to imagine the possibilities

Act 2:
Close up shot on the Warrior’s head as he leans back and begins to imagine himself warm in the Bear’s pelt with a full belly
The warrior looks over at the bear (over the shoulder camera shot)
The Bear rears up on his hind legs and looks right at the Warrior
Close up on the bear from the waist up.  The bear begins to imagine himself wearing the Warrior’s skin and armor as a pelt and begins to drool
Camera goes back to focusing on the Warrior shivering.
Warrior pulls out his Swiss army knife.  Camera zooms in on the knife in his hand
Camera zooms back out to show Warrior fanning out each tool to make it clear to the bear of his intentions
The Camera quickly pans back and zooms in on the Bear.
The bear quickly whips out his paw. Camera zooms in on paw, then zooms back out to waist up
The bear begins to fan out each finger popping one claw out at a time and cracks a smile at the Warrior
The Camera pans back to the warrior as a look of shock comes over his face.
The Warrior’s expression quickly turns from shock to anger
The Camera switches to a wide shot of both the bear and Warrior staring each other down.
All goes quiet, the storm comes to a halt and the two just sit staring at each other
The Camera Zooms in on a close up on the Warriors eyes as they begin to squint, then to the Bear and his eyes begin to squint as well.
The Warrior leaps from his place of shivering from beneath the tree. Camera zooms in on the Warrior then zooms out at the start of the jump. 
The camera switches to the bear as he rears up and lunges at the Warrior.
The Blizzard starts up again more intense than before
Camera switches to a wide shot as the two collide mid air. 
The two become enveloped in each other and fall to the ground and begin to roll around Camera follows the two until they come to a halt in the snow

Act 3:
The Two stop rolling and remain still (music begins) The bear and warrior untangle themselves and look at each other.  Camera zooms out from pile as they begin to untangle and focus on the two staring at each other
The Two nod in agreement
The Camera pans over back to the tree to reveal the Warrior and bear curled up together.
The Camera begins to zoom out and reverse to where it was originally at the beginning
Both made a new friend and were Warmer for it.
