inspired by that other asker but, what did the script making process look like for your turbo video? ive always been curious how people organize and write out scripts for videos that long
Ok #bts is the official tag for answering these kinds of asks (REAL)
It was really super messy at first but I think it eventually came down to isolating all the topics i wanted to discuss into an outline with "chapters"
So unpacking all of those ideas and then organizing it in a way that made sense for the 'flow' of a YouTube video... which is purely trial and error bullshitting vibes . honestly
I think what probably makes the MOST sense for organizing is: Which topics do you need first to understand later arguments? Or which topics coming first would make later arguments more meaningful and interesting? Just hmmmm. Lots of shuffling around to find out. Also speaking out loud while writing script helps with making it sound 'natural.' Recording chunks and then listening over how it sounds is also a good way to find out 'is this going on for too long? is this rambling? is this a good flow? is this engaging?' ETC ETC ETCCC IDKK
As for the script itself its just. it ended up being paragraph after paragraph. Which i was only able to easily construct after Thinking about Everything a Lot. And scrolling tumblr discussions a lot. Lots of stuff was added in later as transitional sentences i realized would smooth things out, (sometimes added in during video editing- you can do it all simultaneously idgaf) or deleted parts entirely that I'd just highlight in gray. Everything is kinda formatted like a tumblr post the longer i look at it ermmm ALSO PUT IN PICTURES !!!! SO MANY PICTURES
These are the LEAST chaotic parts lol but the full thing is 152 pages so i did end up making a separate 'recording lines' document when it started lagging too much. But I'd later accumulate to the full script to 1 ultimate document for fun
Also final tip is to not delete anything you write- just move it somewhere out of the way if you wanna redo it (bottom of the document in a separate table is what i eventually did) because you never know when you're gonna revisit old ideas :D
extra bs ---- (the read more destroys the image format?? ok )
Synopsis / movie appreciation: Setup to broader discussion - Introduction and facts about the movie + alan tudyk stuff
Introduction to KC: Introduction to the in-universe character of King Candy using his first scene
Atmospheric / casual introduction to Turbo
Castle interrogation: First ACTUAL in-depth analyzed scene
Society of arcade: Worldbuilding, the 'in universe societal impact' of turbos actions. He's a very multi-dimensional character and I had to explore each of those dimensions separately i think...
etc etc i was just rambling with this part lol
