With My Whole Heart//Cast [Merlin]

"Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life...."

Fandom: Merlin
Song: "White Blank Page" by Mumford & Sons
Description: Focuses on the struggle and sacrifice of the characters. I liked the idea that all the characters are motivated by love in one way or another.
Dedication: For Alison on her birthday (even if it is a day or so early)

This is the second video of my "Sign No More" challenge, in which I vid all of the Mumford & Sons songs from the album.

The first video, "Freedom Now" [White Collar] can be found here:

AND NOW I WILL RANT

This is the tale of two videos. It began as a Damon/Elena/Katherine/Vampire Diaries video. Really: Vampire Diaries, but I literally COULDN'T take the CW logo. I'm a logo snob and could not handle cropping so much of the screen to cut out the damn logo. So, I ditched tVD.

Then, I got the idea to do a proper Merlin video. I was working on a Morgana vid awhile back (the one everyone nicely voted for me to finish) and my external hard drive died and I lost ALL my Merlin clips, so there went that video. I was more than a little devastated. Anyway, I've spent the last week or so re-accumulating episodes and putting this video together. I wanted to do it for Alison (summersparkle2) in honor of her birthday.

The HD version, which is not what is posted here, had a nice happy birthday message at the end, but because SONY EFFING VEGAS WOULD NOT RENDER THE HD VERSION FOR ANYTHING there is no nice message at the end of this one. No, I'm not at all pissed off *sarcastic voice* AND why does the coloring look about 5 times darker than it did on my laptop? *curses the world*

If you're still reading, here's a cookie for your troubles *gives you cookie*

This video is over 4 minutes... Does anyone watch 4 minute videos anymore? I guess I'll find out!

Future projects: a couple White Collar collabie bits, that Tudors video, a True Blood vid AND a ROBIN HOOD video (cross your fingers for that one). I'm still trying to find the clips. I also lost all my RH episodes when my hard drive crashed.

@Danirox1994 Thank you! Haha. I LOVED the premiere and the second episode wasn't too shabby either ;D This is shaping up to be a great season!

[LoveAlwaysPrevails]

Wo i love this! At first i wasn't crazy about the song but then the lyrics fit so perfectly with everyone, it was amazing. And i liked how at the end you showed everyone's sad faces but morgana so it was like they were all sad about missing her. LOVED IT!

[lolilie]

@LoveAlwaysPrevails Thank you! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the song eventually. It's one of my favorites. It is a little slow going at first, but I think it builds in a really great way. Anyway, I appreciate the comment! Thanks!

Dear me! Easily one of the best merlin cast vids ever! I got chills Lori! Gosh the song was perfect perfect perfect here! The really enjoyed the Morgana/Uther bits in the video! Very fitting scene choices! Damn I need to watch it again! FAVED :D

[moozy426]

This vid is flawless. I personally enjoy videos that use whole songs and aren't chopped up too much, so four minutes is definitely not too long. I had never heard this song before, but now I really like it. I hope you make more Merlin vids soon because you're really good at it :-)

[choralreif]

The "you desired my attention but denied my affections" part with Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot just fit soooo perfectly

[mrsgreenranger1]

One of my favourite TV shows set to one of my favourite songs ever. Brilliant. Honestly brilliant.

[MontHulmeProductions]

absolutely excellent. To be honest it's how I want my videos to be, nicely paced without too many effects. You've really given me some ideas on how to develop my editing style.

[littlebofreak]

[thetrashtube]

beautifully illustrates the characters conflicts with their emotions and how they try yo deal with their respective devotions to those around them
