The one-hour movie challenge is to make a movie and get it up on YouTube in the course of one hour, using what you have in front of you. So I made a true story about exotic travel, daring escape from rebels, and a toy cat.

Okay, maybe not a great movie, but it was fun to make and only took an hour.

According to [this video help page on Youtube](http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=71674&topic=10525), processing can take a while, not to mention the time it takes to upload. Do you include the upload time and processing time in the one hour?
