Notes
Special thanks to my betas: countessmary, laurashapiro and ladymajavader.
I was very frustrated with the lack of time spent on Sibylla's character in the film. A powerful, though sometimes arrogant princess of Jerusalem, she looses both her brother and her son to leprosy and is forced to rebuild her life. Most of that rebuilding was pushed off-screen, while various battle sequences and the main plot unfolded. This vid is my attempt to fill in some of the emotional gaps of Sibylla’s character. I wanted to show her process of rebuilding and transition, particularly emotionally, and how she moved from profound loss to renewal and hope. In essence, I tried to have her tell her story from her POV.
My vid masterlist.
Watch for updates.
