Story

As my sister walked in and asked me what the story was, I got the absolutely perfect idea.
Not to boast or anything but the story I just said makes me really happy and I quite like it.
I'll write it down below in white (spoiler!) so if you want to read it, highlight the text!


There is a group of people known as "Storytellers" who create stories, myths, legends, tales, etc to educate and entertain the people.
As new technologies start arising (I'll have pictures of WoW characters playing on laptops, listening to iPods, etc) the government wants to earn money from these products, so they (government) order the killing of Storytellers. They get slaughtered but one of them escapes (The Last Storyteller ;)) he runs away and settles in some place, hidden and safe.
As he walks one day he hears the sobs of an orphan whose parents have been mugged and killed. He takes him as his own child and takes care of the child. One day the troops arrive, they found the storyteller. He gets taken away from the child. At this point the screen goes black and you hear the sounds of dragging, dramatic music and an axe falling down. At this point my voice acting stops. The Storyteller has been killed.
But here is the twist! The whole story, the machinima, all the voice acting is being spoken right before the Storytellers execution. So he tells what happened, and as the axe kills him (the screen is black) you his words rising like magic and flowing through the wind, they float around until they reach the child. The child looks up at the words telling the tale of his adopted father that he never knew. The machinima ends with "dramatic" music as the camera zooms in on the child's face.

This will not change anything due to editing or the time it will take. The machinima will still be around 2 minutes long (I have 36 seconds of animations DONE (that's 20 seconds in 35 minutes of work)) and yeah. So there's the story if you want to read the spoiler. I just had to write it down in case I forgot it!
