Merlin vid rec

[rodneyscat]

I've got a whole bunch of fics waiting to be read, write feedback for and rec, but this can't wait because this vid just took my breath away.

'Closing in' by kinseymill (AU, Arthur/Merlin)

She took scenes from different movies/series that Bradley James has been in (plus some RL footage of the boys at a premiere I think), picked just the right scenes and blended them all together in such a clever way that she's telling a whole new story, of Arthur living now and remembering a time in an earlier life when he and Merlin were together. She uses the fact that Bradley has worked with several people from Merlin in earlier projects. I love the dreamlike quality of the vid and the music of Imogen Heap fits in beautifully.

I saw that before I went out...it's really very well done, great idea to use Bradley's earlier stuff and that clip from the Merlin launch (I think).

Bradley's still mine though. Just thought I'd mention it.


In other news, I have booked my flights :-)

Thanks for the reminder because yeah, this vid got me a little mixed up... He looks mighty fine in a lot of those scenes! *uses appropriate icon*

Excellent! It's still Friday morning to Sunday evening?

*glares* hands off, I say!!!

Yes, landing 9.40 on Friday so lots of time to browse around town :-) and leaving Sunday late afternoon. Can't wait!!!

Landing at 9.40?! Oh wow, that's an early call for you then! Especially since it's an hour earlier where you live. I'll see that I will make it worth your while :D

Thank you for reccing my vid! :D
And thanks for all the Merlin fics&art recs too. There are so much wonderful stuff i wasn't aware of and your LJ is really a treasure chest for fans. :)

You're most welcome! And I'm so glad you added a HQ downloadable version, because I've watched your vid so many times already and I keep noticing little details that I'm sure you put in there on purpose. Oh, and I also love your Bradley/Colin vid; that's going to get up in my next rec batch.

I don't write or vid or make art, so reccing is my 'contribution' to the fandom and it makes me happy to know they're being used :D
