[CREATE] Need help writing the script for the documentary about LGM

[Jake]

Hey again,

I worked all day today to finish the intro.


The intro is around 20% of the lenght of the final film.

This is still just preview, as I didn't add Peter's voice-over yet. *Current
voice-over audio is just for reference.*

The link to the preview file is

Have fun, and please comment! Feedback is golden, especially when the
product is still in production.


Thanks,
Jake
