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.

Oooh, excellent. I don't watch Merlin, but the narrative here was perfectly clear (well, OK, I read your notes, too), and I really love the tragic concept of the vid overall. Must suck to be Morgana. I like that although Nimueh has not won this battle, she definitely thinks she will win the war (and she very well might). Also, they are are pretty.

I thought it was really interesting that you picked such a delicate song for such an emotional vid. It was an unusual choice, and worked well.

Thank you. I never really know how much to write in the notes so it's good to know that at least one person read them. :D

I thought the song really suited the floaty, flowing nature of these two sorceresses and I thought it had a medieval/fairytale vibe. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid even though you don't watch the show.
