I started writing this a while ago and finished it today. It's my written analysis of the AO intro, describing what happens in each scene, with approximate duration. It'll make things a little easier. Actors can refer to this:

:
SCENES:

Key:
[x] = Filmed (approx. scene duration)

====

[ ] 01: Exterior view of Rupture Farms. A huge billboard stating the name of the factory fades into view - We then pan across to the dull, grey, menacing exterior of the factory building. An industrial village and many chimneys are seen in the background. (0:08)

[x] 02: Now interior. We see a row of massive machinery, possibly turbines. Carcasses (pigs in Minecraft) are ferried past on conveyors. (0:05)

[x] 03: Rows upon rows of massive pipes fill an area with conveyors situated in-between them. Large mechanical arms with rotary buckets scoop out flesh from the carcasses on the conveyors in the background. Another conveyor crosses the screen in the foreground. (0:04)

[ ] 04: Two sligs overlook a conveyor from a high catwalk. (0:05)

[ ] 05: Five mudokon slaves pull levers - They slide back retractable barriers across the carcass-ferrying conveyors. (0:08)

[x] 06: Scene of a barrel being filled with meat (pig being crushed) NOTE: In the original intro, scenes 06 and 07 are one scene.

[x] 07: Lid on the barrel

[x] 08: Barrel is labelled

[ ] 09: Filming blocks representing barrels up close would be boring. Instead, the logo on one of the exterior factory building panels is filmed. (0:07)

[ ] 10: Abe in a prison cell, we pan slowly around him “That's me, my name is Abe!” (0:13)

[ ] 11: “I crossed the meanest boss in the world, Molluck the glukkon” (0:03)

[ ] 12: Slowly pan around Abe in the cell, “I was working late one night...” (0:09)

[ ] 13: A flashback. Viewpoint pans behind Abe as he waxes the floor around the boardroom (0:12)

[ ] 14: Abe is disappointed over no more Meech Munchies (0:11)

[ ] 15: "We still made Paramite Pies" (0:10)

[ ] 16: "And we made some good Scrab Cakes too!" (0:10)

[ ] 17: "But that was before I knew: How we'd make New 'n Tasty, I was still to find." (0:06)

[ ] 18: Abe sneaks toward the boardroom (0:05)

[ ] 19: We zoom in on Abe's face as he peers inside (0:01)

[ ] 20: The circular boardroom – The management of the notorious flesh farm hold their meetings here. The viewpoint looks down upon a circular platform where Molluck and a slig are present while six other glukkons look on from their own individual, smaller platforms attached to the wall. The room is equipped with a projector, currently projecting the RF logo and “Annual Board Meeting” onto the wall opposite the six glukkons.

We pan all the way around the room, eventually backing out of the doorway that Abe is peering into the room through. (0:11) (This is proving to be a huge pain in the arse to film, it may require several takes – I hope people can stand still long enough)

[ ] 21: Abe continues to peer through the room. (0:02)

[ ] 22: The meeting starts – Molluck and the slig turn to the projector as it displays a graph. Meech Munchies sales are falling drastically. (0:04)

[ ] 23: Two glukkons, one dressed in green, the other turquoise are appalled by what the graph shows. The projector now shows that Scrab Cake sales are also on the decline. (0:05)

[ ] 24: Shot from behind of Molluck and the slig overlooking the graph. (0:03)

[ ] 25: Shot of the back of the room, everybody present is visible. “Things are going down.” (0:03)

[ ] 26: The glukkon dressed in green speaks up. “What you gonna do about it, huh?” (0:04)

[ ] 27: Shot from behind, a close-up of Molluck's back, panning slowly around him. “Watch.” Abe's narrative: “But Molluck was cool. He had a plan.” (0:04)

[ ] 28: Shot of Molluck and the slig overlooking a new graph: 'New 'n Tasty' - Projected sales look very promising indeed. (0:04)

[ ] 29: The green glukkon seems pleased about this. “Ah-ha!” (0:01)

[ ] 30: We zoom in slowly on Abe as he looks on – Something seems to scare him. “This new kind of meat...” (0:04)

[ ] 31: We zoom in on the projector, revealing a gruesome logo of a mudokon head impaled on a stick for a new product, 'Mudokon Pops'. A diagram showing the meat cuts on a mudokon body is displayed. “It was US!” (0:04)

(NOTE: 31 will have to be filmed in two parts, since texture packs can't be changed on the fly)

[ ] 32: Abe is shocked by what he just witnessed. (0:03)

[ ] 33: We pan out from a close-up of the green glukkon until everybody in the room is visible. They are cackling manically at their new plans. (0:09)

[ ] 34: Abe backs away from the boardroom entrance. (0:02)

[ ] 35: Abe looks left to right, before bolting away to the right. A camera drops from the ceiling, tracking him. (I've tried to make a camera in Minecraft without success, maybe a different, filler scene of Abe running through a door could suffice instead) (0:06)

[ ] 36: A distant view of Abe running across a catwalk in front of the turbines from shot 02. “I just had to escape...” (0:03)

[ ] 37: Abe runs along a catwalk that runs alongside meat conveyors (for simplicities sake he'll run along the same catwalk from shot 04). “I just had to be free!” (0:04)

[ ] 38: Abe runs down a long corridor. A slig chases him – The viewpoint follows the slig. “And I didn't even know, I had a destiny. So, get me out of here!” (0:09)

That's all that can be done without creating further props or graphics.
I sleep now, maybe I'm being a little too passionate about this.
