I finally got around to playing Uncharted 4 and immediately knew I was gonna join the ranks of Rafe trash. Sure he's the 'villain' but the conflict presented with Sam put him in the ranks of morally grey for me. He stood out in all his scenes and because he's a bit unhinged it made me wonder what he was going to do next.

Things that got cut out: I had been planning to use some multiplayer lines such as "Are you sure you're on my level", "They're gonna regret the day they crossed me" and "The question isn't who's going to let me, it's who's going to stop me" to replace the part where Taylor is singing "I'm sorry the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now..." but Rafe's VO on the video was sufficient enough.
My general outline had the song blocked into Rafe vs all the different characters. The ending was obviously going to be against Nate. The blocking was surprisingly easy for this one. First half for Vargas and Sully, middle for Sam, and I wanted a flashback part for Nadine before the epic final fight for Nate.
First thing I knew I was going to do was at the very beginning to put the scene where Rafe appears in between the brothers in the Panama prison. It was a great introduction showing how he would come in between them.
My favorite part is when Rafe pistol slaps Sam. The sound fits very well with the music audio and it was one of the first scenes I could picture exactly where in the song I wanted it.
The hardest part was the ending where Rafe and Nathan are swordfighting. With all my videos I try to tell a story and having to make the fighting flow appear fluid enough but with enough of his quips packed in there was difficult. I really wanted to include his "you're just a sad little boy with delusions of grandeur" speech but there wasn't enough time.
Matching audio to the characters' mouths moving was challenging. Sometimes the video where they say the voiceover didn't match the flow of the scene so I kinda had to take other parts and match it instead. I hope that wasn't too jarring.
Lastly, my goal was hopefully to present Rafe as a sort of main character with his own song and get people interested in the game.

Wanted to experiment on how much of the Charioce and Nina scenes I could put into one video! There's less of the dance here and more of the way they communicate with each other by looking.

Anime spoilers ahead read at your own risk.
The song is from Nina's POV.
The first part I conceptualized was the first chorus because their first dance is really beautiful to me and I knew I could fit it in the "come around".
Next I tried to figure out which key scenes would go with the other "come around" choruses. From there I could figure out which scenes to put in the verses. I try to keep things more or less sequential because for this video I wanted it to tell their story.
I knew right away I wanted the "Can't you see you're my life" line to be their kiss.
The last part had to be Bahamut fight and last dance ofc.
Favorite part is "But you're the one, you're the one" with Chris' smile :D
If you watched it then you know there are A LOT of transitions in this piece, mainly because I was experimenting.
