After forgetting to prepare an important presentation, the King begins a series of ill-advised decisions that increasingly take his liberty away from him. Can he reckon with his past mistakes and reclaim his life?
As I often do, I must thank Mighteyes for his invaluable feedback on this project from start to finish. He even suggested the parking sign joke you see right at the start. Check him out; he's a great YTPer in his own right: / @mighteyes
This is a project I started on Twitter in March 2022, wherein viewers got to vote on what choice the King should make at various points in the story. Here, you can see all of the videos I made as part of that, guided by my followers, compiled together into a single video, with a few changes to make them fit together nicely and the odd tweak here and there.
There are also a few extended sections, ranging from slightly longer shots to a whole deleted scene, included here. These were originally made at the time the videos were posted to Twitter, but had to be trimmed to fit the 2:20 time limit. So, what you're watching includes unseen content that's been sitting on my PC for months. Hopefully, that makes this a worthwhile watch, even for those who followed along with the project as it happened.
I'm quite pleased with what I (and my followers, of course) managed to accomplish with this video; the votes often didn't go according to my preferences and I had to think outside of the box on multiple occasions. I can say for absolute certain that this would have been nowhere near as good, left to my own devices, and I'm extremely grateful to everyone who engaged with the project.
