Too Many Squirrels's video: Merlin 10th Anniversary Merlin Arthur Hold Me

"I want you...to always...be you." Its been ten years to the day since the beautiful and devastating Merlin Finale Diamond of the Day aired on Christmas Eve. It is transcendent and I wanted to make a tribute video for Merlin and Arthur and how their beautiful relationship developed. I used a clip or two from every single episode, in chronological order to convey this journey. There are obviously so many clips and moments I could have used but I had to choose just one or two which resonated with me. I'm planning on making more videos and edits for them to celebrate this milestone (and feeling unwell with a horrible cold right now so I'm just glad that I got this made and I kept thinking of Merlin and his resilience to help me finish) The video isn't perfect and its because I had to teach myself premiere pro (which I had never used before and I hate asdfghj) and everything that could go wrong in editing did. It deleted my clips, progress, I couldn't colour correctly, it overwrote my project files the list is endless and I almost gave up but I had to make something for the story and characters I hold so close to me, who are my home, my magic and my light. I love them so much. Some of this was completed on my old laptop for nostalgia sake. I chose Cloud Atlas since Merlin and Arthur are soulmates and their story echoes through every century. It is both beautiful and absolutely gut wrenching. I am never recovering from this finale and will definitely make another video when I feel better. I wanted to do so much for this anniversary but this video is for you Merlin & Arthur, Colin & Bradley and everyone involved in bringing the magic to life and to the dedicated talented fanbase, it may be an empty world without Merlin, but we're filling it everyday with love for him and Arthur ♥ Arthur will return to Merlin at Christmas I am convinced and until that day, I'll be here holding this story and these two close, for always.
