No, unfortunately this is not a work of fan fiction. If you were expecting epic tales of Anakin and Padmé, I'm afraid you will have to wait a while longer.

Or not.

It all depends on what you're looking for.

There is an epic tale fast approaching, but it's not written with words. It is written with images and emotions.

It is…

Well, enough drama. You'll get plenty of that if you decide to jump on this boat with me. All things considered, Saturday evening will see a new video up on YouTube. This one, hopefully, will be a lot different than my others. It will be stronger. And it has a purpose, which is different than many of my former videos.

I wouldn't normally "spam" . At least, I call this sort of thing "spam" because it's not an actual fanfic. But I figured, of all the websites I'm associated with, the fan-base on is the one that would be most interested by this. And I doubt a lot of you actually watch my videos. I'm not saying you should run to YouTube and watch them right now, but the fact is, writing fanfics is only half the story. It's the easier half, to be sure, but I sometimes feel like there are emotions that I can't elicit through writing. Hence my videos.

Now, the entire point of this… what would you call it?... ramble, isn't to just… ramble. There is a point. Let me get right to it.

I've joined this video competition called CrashEditors. It's where the participants have one week to make the best video possible. I knew it would be a challenge for me, since I've been lax on my video editing for quite some time now. But I'm convinced I can do it. I was a week from the end of NaNoWriMo, and only had about 20000 of 50000 words written. Somehow, I won NaNoWriMo, which is enough to tell me it's possible to do anything.

So I'm going to try this.

Now, I normally go into video editing with no clear idea. I make videos, and if they turn out epic, they turn out epic. And sometimes they don't. Usually they don't. They're normally just a random spurt of video editing and that's all.

But that's not exactly going to cut it when you're in a video competition.

So I did something different this time.

I wrote a script.

Yes, you only associate that with movies, but it's just as true in my case. The video I have in mind is under 3 minutes long, and I have to cram as much stuff as possible into that 3 minutes. How, you might ask? Hence the script.

I've never really written a script before. I used to try when I was younger. Now I'm actually doing. And if this plan doesn't work, I don't have a lot of time to fix it. That's why I'm convinced this plan will work. I've carefully measured the time. Now we'll see if it all fits together.

There are eight scenes planned for this video. I've already put together the first three scenes, but they don't seem right. So I'm going to lay those parts aside for now and start work on the scenes that seem the simplest to me. I've double checked the times, so I know they are exact. If I split the song into the eight scenes, I don't need to make them in order.

Now, since many of you are probably wishing for me to end my rambling, I will. But allow me to show you my finished script. I am not adding the song name, or the video title, since I don't want any of you to have the surprise ruined, but if anyone is interested in what it takes to make a movie, here you go. The script is subject to change, if necessary, but overall, this is what it will be. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them.

P.S. You don't have to tell me. I know I've watched way too much Star Wars in my life. :)
