That may be true for scripted Hollywood movies, but any train video producer worth his salt would never think that way. Video content is KING, not script! Yes you can narrate and put video with it for certain things like introductions and set-ups, but the main body is good action train scenes. Unless of course you are doing a talking-heads documentary thingy. I prefer to stay away from those!!!
