I have to be honest. I haven't seen too many Merlin episodes, but what I have, I've enjoyed. So this vid is excellent for people like me, who haven't seen that many episodes or are considering getting into the series. Want to know the awesomeness behind that? That's exactly what this vid was designed to do and boy does it do an awesome job. Each character, from Merlin to Morgana, has his or her own portion of the vid that summarizes a bit of their story arc, Sound somewhat interesting? Well add to that a powerful, emotion evoking, song selection, strong voiceovers, and good editing. Not only will you enjoy this vid, but it will definitely have you watching episodes of the show afterwards. So go check it out.

You have to give credit to anyone who vids with a Florence and the Machine song and does it well. This vid is excellent. It's just so powerful and beautiful at the same time. I absolutely love the opening quotes. They set you up for the vid perfectly and tell you to expect an epic ride. The coloring is gorgeous on this and all the clip matches are awesome. However, what I really love about this vid, is how amazingly it demonstrates the connection between these two characters. Now, I'm not sure how powerful it is in the show (again with the little asterisk of not having seen too many episodes), but in this vid it's like "whoa"; which is really excellent either way. I particularly like how the vid focuses a lot on their facial expressions to aide with that btw. It really made you feel like you were watching something private and powerful; like you were a guest in the secret world that only Merlin and Morgana normally exist and that's something really special to create. I'd like to add that I know these characters don't like each other, but sometimes hate can be as powerful as love. Anyway, I'll shut up now; go watch the vid. It's something amazing.

When I think of Merlin related videos, this is one of the first that comes to mind. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve watched this. A good character study can be a tricky thing, but this one definitely delivers. The lyrics and a few well-chosen voiceovers work together to express Arthur’s feelings that in order to prove himself worthy, he must do everything on his own, later realizing that letting others in can only make him stronger. This video is also one of the best edited videos I’ve ever seen. This video is everything you could ever want in a character study.
