merlin | once I was real

This project was a long one in the works, which doesn't usually happen to me because I get a creative urge and work on a video in basically one sitting, but this one I continued to keep at because this song has such relevance and importance in my own life that I wanted to translate it over to these characters who struggle with their circumstances and the changes in themselves they can't control. It's a part of growing up when the people and events around you force you to change, whether that's for the better or worse.

I loved that show, and that song. I get very emotional, when I see that combination. Masterpiece.

[@crazygarnett]

wow, this is very well done. Merlin can be a hard show to capture since they seem to have changed direction a bit in the middle but you did it well. The song fits perfectly the concept that it is not over....beautiful.

I am just about to watch the final two episodes of series 5 again and am trying to gear myself up to face them. You moving video has helped me prepare. Thanks

[@rebeccajohnson118]

This is absolutely incredible. The cuts were timed perfectly and the transitions were smooth yet harsh enough to hurt. I'm in awe.

[@Starbits7]

I've been watching this over and over. Love how you showed how the story progressed. Great video!

[@mythsandmagic]

I love this so much. Wow. This is one of those videos that you just want to watch again and again. Great job😃

[@obso99]

I love it! All the ups and downs these characters went through. All the events and people that changed them. Beautiful vid :)

[@Luciana-fk3ur]

I loved it! I liked it how you managed to do all the before&after and I loved how all the scenes were so fitting for the lyrics, though I would've liked to see a bit of Merlin and Freya too. But anyway, this vid was amazing in every way possible. Congratulations and thank you for making such a beautiful creation :) ps: I apologize if I did spell something wrong, English is not my mother tongue though I know a little bit of it! Have a nice day!

Well done on making this video, the finale really wrecked me so I felt my heart crush and break as I watched just those clips with it all ;-; I managed to get over a family death within months but I still haven't gotten over Arthur's years later. Haven't watched the finale again since it aired. You did well to stir up those darn emotions again :)

Is it bad that I cried while watching this vid? Like tears running down my cheek cried. For some reason Merlin gets me really emotional.

[@insertname2067]
