This is the credits section of “Why is Minecraft so lonely?”

Here you will find important webpages, stock footage and documents I used to write the script and script structure for this video.

Some of the listed sources don’t appear in the video directly, most of them were gathered in very early stages of production when I didn’t have a clear idea of how I wanted the video to turn out.

You can find musical credits in the “Music” section of this videos page.

Here is the script structure for “Why is Minecraft so lonely?”, this was what I used to plan out the script for the video and how I wanted the video to be paced as well as some other little notes I left for myself before the initial writing of the video.

You may notice some minor spelling or grammatical errors in my writing, you may also notice that there are some parts of the structure that didn’t actually appear in the video- this was intentional as most of the topics that appear in my videos are extensively reviewed and some of them don’t make it into the final script.
