Most of the piano music was composed and recorded by me, some parts were based on sections of the Narnia soundtrack. The bridge at 1:25 was built by my cousin and me. The capsule at 2:32 is a geocache that I found completely by accident while I was scouting around the forest for filming locations. I took care to remove it from it's original hiding place, discover it in a different hiding place on film, and then return it to it's original hiding place. You can find out more information about geocaches at http://www.geocaching.com/.
Narrator: After attending Aslans Council, the noble oak chose the Great Western Forests of Narnia to be his dwelling place, and as a result the trees have been blessed with height and longevity. But this made survival a struggle for the common beasts, and as a result, the slowly became extinct, leaving but one creature left to face the elements on his own: the minotaur.
Minotaur: Geez, every year that hole just gets smaller and smaller.
Narrator: The Minotaur refused to believe that he was the only one left. Every day he would spend hours searching in vain. He always found plenty of interesting things, but no material item could ever match a real companion. When he got tired of searching, he would practice his black magic to find out, say, who would be playing Coriakin in the Earthen film adaption of the Dawn Treaders Voyage.
Minotaur: Hmmcould be worse.
Narrator: But this wasnt enough to satisfy the minotaurs desire for brain stimulation. He really needed a companion. So he journeyed for many days to travel to the very first tree. It was said that whoever tapped this sacred tree three times and sung Aslans song would become a witness to a very rare form of deep magic. The minotaur considered it to be his only hope. He prepared to speak.
Minotaur: Ahem! I really like Aslan cause hes never mean, he sung to life everything Ive seen, he made the whole world my latrine! Thats the thing about Aslan, hes never mean. Aslan, you rock! Tash just sucks! If you just decided to buy some stock, youd be a trillionare cause Aslan you rock! One day I was hiking and what did I see but a small yellow creature that was very furry, I looked at the creature and the creature looked at me, and I said, You remind me of Aslans knee! Aslan, youre no fraud! Youre almost like a God! Oh wait, you are one. With ears like a rabbit and eyes like a hawk, you can do anything cause Aslan you rock! Yesterday I stuck some rotten beef into my maw, but it didnt matter cause Aslan saw, he sent along a hobo who had no cows due to drought, the guy reached into my mouth and pulled it out! Aslan, youre awesome! Youre better than my mom! Sorry mom. You would so win a fight with Captain Spock, cause youre just that awesome cause Aslan you rock! Last night I was praying and I said just, Wow! I would love to live with you, you can take me now, just as I was almost hit by a big falling tree, I said, Thank you Aslan for saving me! Aslan, youre not tame! You make me look lame!
Hillbilly: Why hello there peoples. I, Im a hillbilly.
Minotaur: Well yes, but, what are you doing here?
Hillbilly: Well I dunno partner, see, I was just a here tending my pinto beans when suddenly poof! Here I was.
Minotaur: Well see, I was just worshipping Aslan
Hillbilly: See, thats another thing. Minotaurs arent good folks. Minotaurs are evil! Why in tarnations would someone like you be worshipping Aslan?
Minotaur: Well maybe cause Im not stupid. Seriously, who in their right mind wouldnt worship Aslan? As for me being evil, just, geez! Talk about profiling.
Hillbilly: Its ok, I forgive you for being evil because I think you found one of the rare chasms between your world and mine.
Narrator: The minotaur was getting depressed, because having a companion was not at all what he thought it would be like. He decided to talk with the hillbilly about something he thought they were both interested in.
Minotaur: So hillbilly, have you heard about some of the casting announcements yet?
Hillbilly: What, for the Narnia documentaries?
Minotaur: The Narnia films.
Hillbilly: Whatever.
Minotaur: Anyway, what do you think of this guy playing Coriakin?
Hillbilly: What? No no no no no, thats not how C. S. Lewis described Coriakin. C. S. Lewis described Coriakin like this!
Minotaur: Um..
Hillbilly: Hey, my 60 years of graduate school were spent studying theology, not art, ok?
Narrator: The minotaur had had enough, so he told the hillbilly to just stay and relax where he was. Once again on top of the old sacred tree, the minotaur bellowed
Minotaur: Aslan! Why couldnt you have sent me a girl minotaur?
Narrator: Then he was reminded that there were no girl minotaurs in the Earthen world. He decided to lie down and go to sleep. It had been an eventful day, and he needed the rest.
Hillbilly: Hey minotaur? Do you know of any places where there might be some pinto beans?

Gosh, that forest was just BEAUTIFUL...I`m jealous you live near a place like that. :P
Awesome Worshipping Aslan song/dance. "He made the whole world my latrine"...that line really made my day. :P
Whoah, I thought I was the only person that pronounced Coriakin like that! Yay! I`m not alone!!!
And you don`t have a companion? The dwarf/human hybrid would join you if she could!!!!!

Really nice camera presence! Didn't get the whole concept of the story though. Seemed to wonder without purpose.

Great vid! Really professional!
Oh, and just a friendly note: most people pronounce Coriakin like cor-ee-AAH-kin.
