Shelved
Beano is a lowly shelving assistant robot working in a dreary warehouse. When his buddy Craig volunteers to help the attractive HR human to get a farewell card signed by all the other robots, they stumble upon the humans' insidious plot to replace them.

Shot in one day with actors replaced by animated robots, Shelved has 55 visual effects shots created in 12 weeks by a team of animation students at Media Design School, in Auckland New Zealand.
