So I'm looking for a specific Merlin/Arthur fanvid.
I'll try to provide as many details as I can..
It was fairly high quality -- I don't remember there being any pixilated clips. There weren't any strong color overlays, though there was some subtle colorization.
The Biblical verse about love; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (love is patient, love is kind etc) was the main theme. It featured an audio clip of the verse being read by the voice of what I'll describe as a young-adult male and I think a little later on, a female voice joins in, reciting the verse alongside the male's voice. I don't know the source of that audio clip but I'm pretty sure it wasn't from that hospital scene in A Walk to Remember unless there was another point in the movie that could have featured it for whatever reason but I don't think so, I tried youtubing the scene. Anyway, as this audio is playing, the merthur clips are related to what's being said of course, and the music featured playing in the background is instrumental (I have no idea what the song was and whether it was part of the "narration" audio but I remember it being very cinematic, dramatic, and "inspirational" sounding if that makes any sense. But yea there's a big dramatic crescendo/buildup. I'm pretty sure the video was over a minute long.
So unfortunately I have no idea what the title might have featured (like whether it mentioned the pairing name and in what format ex: Merthur, Merlin/Arthur, ma, m/a, Merlin&Arthur etc). I also can't remember for sure if the video featured any text on it. I don't think it did for the majority of it but there might have been a line or two at the very end of the video.
I don't know what year the video was uploaded to youtube but I know for sure it included a clip of that scene from Episode 4x5 "His Father's Son", where Arthur has just won the duel being witnessed by Queen Annis so the earliest year it could have been would be 2011. I don't know if the video is still available (though I think that last time I remember watching/coming across it was sometime between August and October of this year). I know it isn't in my favorites/playlists. Oh and I think it also had a little bit of the opening sequence of that same episode (4x5) with Merlin disguised as a knight of camelot running on a grassy hill with his cape flowing out behind him.
If any of this sounds familiar but you can't remember the name of the vid, I'll even take guesses as to who the fanvid creator might be. Hell even an acknowledgement that someone else has seen this video would be great too because i'm starting to think I've imagined all this (mostly kidding, but srs though this thing is driving me crazy, it's so obscure.)
I hope this won't be considered over-tagging but I'm unsure as to whether the vidder meant to convey them as being in a romantic relationship [seeing as there aren't any lyrics that might suggest it] so I hope it's okay if I add the gen/friendship tag too x_x
