Merlin Vid: It's Not Over Yet

[charmax]

Video Title: It's Not Over Yet
Song Title/Artist: It's Not Over Yet - Goldfrapp
Show: Merlin BBC
Summary: Nimueh shows Morgana the path to her destiny.
Length/Format: 2.53, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: No matter what version of the Arthurian legend I've watched or read I've always found Morgana the most interesting character. "Merlin" has been no exception. I was struck by how awful it must be to be a seer to know that you are destined to betray and lose everything and everyone you hold dear. Merlin's magic will go on to earn him authority, respect and love in Arthur's Camelot whereas Morgana is destined to be alone and ostracised by her "gift" in short she is going to become very much like Nimueh. I wanted to explore that in this vid. I imagined that Nimueh was connected to Morgana in the same way as the Dragon is to Merlin. So here we have Nimueh converting Morgana into Morgan le Fay and rather enjoying herself while she's doing it. The femslash vibe is entirely intentional so feel free to just look at the pretty.

Goldfrapp - It's Not Over Yet

I'll live for you
I'd die for you
Do what you want me to
I'll cry for you
My tears will show
That I can't let you go

It's not over, not over, not over, not over yet
You still want me, don't you
It's not over, not over, not over yet
Cos I can see through you

Don't let me down
Don't make a sound
Don't throw it all away
Remember me
So tenderly
Don't let it slip away

It's not over, not over, not over, not over yet
You still want me, don't you
It's not over, not over, not over yet
Cos I can see through you

I'll live for you
I'd die for you
Do what you want me to


Feedback loved.

Yay! Another "Merlin" convert and a fellow Morgana fan. It's marvellous to know that you enjoyed the vid so much. :D

Hee! Yesterday, friends and I were-you know, just theoretically ;-)--asking ourselves whether the castle is too far from here for a weekend trip ;-)

I do love Morgana. And I love that they didn't cast a typical Hollywood-esque beauty. Hollywood as it is today I mean. She reminds me very much of those 30's and 40's actresses, she has an air of glamour and that of a "diva" about her. And I like how that mirrors how Arthur sees her while the viewer gradually learns that she actually has a heart of gold, is very courageous and strong. Oh, look at me, I'm babbleling :D

But I recc'd your vid to fellow Merlin-fans last night. I should probably make a LJ entry about it too :-)

(Also, hm, it didn't occur to me that on Merlin strong women=evil. But then I never notice these things...)

Oh, I imagine a visit to the castle would be awesome.

I think the casting of Merlin has been one of it's strong points. Big Hollywood production values would have given us better cgi and punchier action sequences but you just know the casting would've been all stick thin blond women and ruggedly handsome menfolk.

(To be fair to the creators of the show most of the male guest stars are evil too.)

Another rec would be much appreciated, recs are for the win.
