Shooting Script
You can see our shooting script (Based on our original shooting plans) here. The printed copy was updated to reflect changes we had to make due to cast availability, time constraints, etc.
Script
This is the final (Last revision 2/12/2009) Story Script we are using for our video. It guides us in terms of the narrative and will feed into the shooting script and the second (More detailed) Storyboard and Animatic.

Music Video Narrative Summary
This is a rough narrative outline of our video. Details are subject to change as the narrative is developed into a full script and storyboard.
As the video opens, "Fall Out Boy" are getting ready onstage to perform, even though the room is empty. They start up and their fans begin to file in as word of the apparently impromptu performance spreads. The crowd really starts to get into the performance and word eventually reaches the bar "MJ" is in.
Cut to "MJ" in the bar, dancing along in his signature style. He is interrupted by a member of his crew informing him of the "FOB" performance. He becomes angry and storms out of the bar, gesturing for his crew to follow him.
Back with "FOB", the band and crowd are really getting into the song and are jumping around quite a bit. The bassist, "Pete Wentz" suddenly stops and pulls out his phone. He has received a text signed "MJ". He looks at it confused, then tries to get back into the groove of the performance. Not long after though, the doors burst open and the music stops as the band turns its attention to the newcomers.
"MJ" and his crew walk in and stare the band down. There is a standoff reminiscent of the one at the start of the Smooth Criminal video, which ends in the same way - with "MJ" tossing a coin. In this case however, it doesn't land in a jukebox starting the music, it hits "Pete Wentz" in the head. The music starts back up and the band and their fans charge at "MJ" and the dancers.
A fight breaks out (Involving dancing and rocking out more than actual fighting) and eventually the fans and dancers spill out of the building. The band and MJ angrily sing at eachother to "Beat it", getting increasingly rowdy. As the song ends, "Pete Wentz" whacks MJ upside the head with his bass, drops it and the band walks out, leaving MJ on the floor struggling to get back up.
