# Time to Talk – Memory Card #72
👋🏻
The script is done.
And by done I mean it is in a review process. I've given it a go with the red pen, some friends are taking a look, and I even chucked it into Claude, which clearly does not understand callbacks for humor.
I'm trying a new approach to the edit. I'm gonna record the sections one by one. This way I can play with the video edit in chunks and give later sections more time to breath and be reviewed. The intro is just over two minutes. We'll see how this process goes. It's inspired by my pal [PGReviews](https://www.youtube.com/@PGReviews_/) and how he is tackling his [monster *Super Smash Bros.* retrospective](http://youtube.com/post/UgkxwyxWrkG0JKf77MowLUDrH29B9afNWxci?si=96VfZhtvaYKbrSFu).
The bit I am most nervous about is the basically guaranteed DMCA strike/flag that will hit this video when I upload it, thanks to it basically being a film and video game essay. I may need to go back and listen to [[MFP47 - "when a youtuber shares their secret sauce" with Danny Boyd from CinemaStix|my chat with Cinemastix]] and get retroactive advice. The slightly sliver lining is that I don't make money off this anyway, so the notice won't impact ad revenue or anything.
In that vein though, I do plan on playing around with the music from these film's soundtracks. I want to run the songs through my [[Taking a Chomp out of Creativity|Chompi]] and see if I can make pleasant background music and avoid too many tangos with YouTube.
A time-to-read plugin in Obsidian tells me that the script is roughly 20 minutes, but that includes all my shot notes and annotations to myself. [Words to Time](https://wordstotime.com) says it'll take near 30 minutes to read a cleaned up script, so who knows. I'm shooting for that mid 20-minute range with this one, so I guess I am right on the money.
Until next time...
