~WARNING : CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM HAMLET!~
(I'm pretty sure everyone knows the story Hamlet, but just in case....)

This time I bring you an old video that I finally managed to finish, and it's not a MEP part! xD And it's live action ^^

I still don't think I'm good at editing with live action, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

I'm still visiting family in France, and I still have a lot of MEP parts to edit these next two weeks...but I really wanted to upload this.
Since I just finished visiting London, and it's a production of a British play, I thought it's be appropriate to upload it now ^^

I started making this video a year and a half ago! At that time, I had a slight obsession with David Tennant and started watching movies and series (other than Doctor Who) that he had stared in . And I came across this production of Hamlet.
I had heard that David Tennant played Hamlet (which is a huge honor for any actor) at a theatre production, but I didn't know they made a movie!
That same year, I studied the play of Shakespeare 'Hamlet' in my literature class, and after watching David Tennant's interpretation of Hamlet, I fell in love with both this movie and the play! :D

This video took me forever to make! For some reason my editing program did not like my footage of Hamlet and kept crashing...eventually I gave up, even though I was really close to being finished :(

Almost two years later, (a few weeks before going to London), I had another David Tennant obsession and re-watched movies and series he had been in, including Hamlet!
I wanted to edit with Hamlet, so I decided to finish this video and make other ones (that I will probably upload soon)....

For this video, all that I do was add transitions and overlays. Those are a little rushed, and as I was adding them, I realized that my editing skills have slightly improved since 2013 when I started making this. I really wanted to improve this video, and I thought of what I could do to make it better...but I'm was too lazy to make any changes xD

~Voiceovers (almost all these are said by Hamlet, he has such amazing dialogue in this play ^^)~
"I'm dead. Horatio, I'm dead."
"If it be now, 'tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now."
"Am I a coward?"
"VENGEANCE!"
"To be or not to be, that is the question."
[*]"Hamlet, thou art slain. In thee there is not half an hour of life."
[*]"The treacherous instrument is in thy hand."
(*these two are said from Laertes to Hamlet)
"You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will more willingly part withal. Except my life."
"Horatio, I'm dead."
