NOTES:
I've included this here because I did not write a script for this video (which was hard for me to do and Ventain's recommendation) and we made this up on the fly. I had to make this video work on editing alone. Ventain edited the first half, and I edited the second half. Here is the outline I used to finish the video.
Don't read this if you haven't watched the video yet.
SYNOPSIS: Anthony can't believe his twin brother wants to be the greatest video gamer in the world, but sees his passion. Carlos, a cocky, strange individual, brags about beating all the high scores in the arcade...when it's visually not very busy and his high scores aren't really so high.
He explains that winning prizes are important to him, which is the only reason to play ticket games. Carlos also explains his past as a child, where he told his friends about his dreams and goals in life and they told him he couldn't achieve them, but he didn't listen because he saw accolade and happiness in it.
He vows to makes his dreams come true first by being the best at his favorite arcade. We get a small glimpse in the life of Carlos at the arcade.
We then see a mysterious character playing Bubble Bobble. Anthony explains that Carlos is often challenged by this individual at the arcade, but Carlos isn't afraid because this person, who he has dubbed "Mr. X", is not a threat to his scores.
Except that Mr. X achieves a very high score on Bubble Bobble... of course, high in Carlos' standards. He is defeated and feels shamed.
Mr. X, who is disguised with hair over his face and glasses, explains that he doesn't care that he beat Carlos and hurt his feelings, and even says that Bubble Bobble is easy. His voice is also seemingly disguised to hide identity.
Carlos decides overtime to return to the arcade and at least try to regain his crown, because sitting around and crying won't do anything to change things.
He plays Bubble Bobble and beats Mr. X's score, and is thrilled that he achieved his goal.
Anthony sees Carlos' happiness and says he is happy for him, and although his family won't support him, he will...
But, in a clip from months earlier, it displays that Anthony was really never supportive. It is revealed that his sister Stephanie dressed as Mr. X, under Anthony's decision, and beat Carlos' scores to discourage him from his dream. Anthony makes a statement that surrounds why people chase a dream that may never happen, only through belief.
The final image is of Carlos, being commended for his high score, displaying that even if nobody else in the world knows or cares, Carlos is living the dream, being number one at least somewhere in his life, and living at his happiest, despite what his family thinks of him.
