*FOR KINGXSHARK*

Here’s where I’m keeping all the images (updating each time I make a new one)

The words will be the lyrics to the “Viva La Vida” (by Coldplay) song (in italic) and at which point each image fades in (in bold), the transitions will always just be a simple fade and that’ll probably be the only needed effect beside the timing of when each transition happens

There’ll also be some black screens but only when they’re specifically noted to happen below

Please title the video the following bold text: Viva La Vida - King Merlin PMV

—————————————

Please use the following text (in italic and quotes) in the video description (not including the quotes themselves, please):

“At the dawn of the districts, Merlin has declared himself king of the underwater city of Neptullin and the sharklets who live there.

As Merlin’s greedy and contemptible character corrupts his power, the young sharklet Opal seeks to find a home outside Neptullin in the snowy southern forests… but her request brings violent consequences for the sharklets trying to escape.

All the while, a sharklet named Abyss, who rejects the others’ harsh treatment of Opal and her comrades, learns of an old challenge ritual that can uproot the king and prepares his sword for a showdown.”

—————————————

Green text means special notes that you must read to understand the requested edit. This will be used during instrumental parts of the song (among other parts) so that you know when to edit when there are no lyrics. I know it’s gonna sound complicated, but please read it all!

Blue text is what I have to draw and will be in place of an image while there is no image there yet. Just ignore this, it’s for me to use while I’m drawing the pictures so that I know what to make!

—————————————

The first part of this song is a brief musical intro. You will hear the instruments playing one specific note — this is a C#. This part of the song will be notated as the C# Intro. A couple of seconds later, you hear that a different note is being played that sounds lower than the C# — this is a C. This part of the song will be notated as the C Intro. Then, it repeats the C# Intro and next repeats the C Intro. Listen to this musical intro of the song first so that you can hear the note changes and understand where to edit. This intro lasts approximately from 0:00 to 0:13 in the song.

I have included estimates for how long each part of the intro lasts because many of the note changes happen halfway through the second or otherwise not fully through the second. Do not edit exactly based on these estimates; if you listen to the song and play around with the edit, you will hear and understand a more exact time that the intro changes.

*C# intro 1*

Now comes an interlude, which also has 2 notes that alternate. First, you will hear the instruments playing one specific note — this is a G#. This part of the song will be notated as the G# Interlude. A couple of seconds later, you hear that a different note is being played that sounds lower than the G# — this is a G. This part of the song will be notated as the G Interlude. Then, it repeats the G# Intro and next repeats the G Intro, and then it repeats each once again so that there are a total of 4 interludes for each of the two notes. Listen to this musical interlude of the song first so that you can hear the note changes and understand where to edit. This interlude lasts approximately from 0:28 to 0:41 in the song.

I have included estimates for how long each part of the intro lasts because many of the note changes happen halfway through the second or otherwise not fully through the second. Do not edit exactly based on these estimates; if you listen to the song and play around with the edit, you will hear and understand a more exact time that the interlude changes.

Now comes another interlude, which is a Bb played underneath different notes during the first and third quarters of the interlude, and a F played underneath different notes during the second and fourth quarters. This time, the interludes will just be numbered instead of also being given a note, but you’ll still be able to hear the change when it happens. Listen to this musical interlude of the song first so that you can hear the note changes and understand where to edit. This interlude lasts approximately from 1:37 to TBA in the song.

I have included estimates for how long each part of the interlude lasts because many of the note changes happen halfway through the second or otherwise not fully through the second. Do not edit exactly based on these estimates; if you listen to the song and play around with the edit, you will hear and understand a more exact time that the interlude changes.
