- Finally! The video is finished. This took like forever. Both, to edit and to render.
I almost gave up, but I pulled myself together and kept working on it, since it's for the BOIT competition after all and I didn't want to waste a spot. Well what do I have to say about the video itself? I really don't know. I just don't like it and it didn't come out the way I actually imagined. Probably I gave myself just a much too hard time with this topic. But however, let me explain the story behind it. So for all of you who don't know, I made this video for the third round of the BOIT challenge. The task was to switch the roles of two characters. As you can see, I took Merlin and Arthur from the BBC tv-show Merlin.
The original plot:
Merlin is a young warlock and arrives in Camelot. There he meets Gaius, who will become his mentor. From the Great Dragon he learns that his destiny is to protect the future king and right now crown prince of Camelot, Arthur. In episode 1.13 Arthur gets attacked by the Questing Beast, which, according to mythology, appears before a time of great upheaval. All this happens while he tries to find and kill the monster. Merlin of course saves him by using magic.
My plot:
I obviously switched the roles of Arthur and Merlin. Now Merlin is Crown Prince of Camelot and Arthur is the young warlock, who doesn't know how to deal with his magic. But Gaius tries to help him with giving him a book with lots of spells and stuff like that. Later on, again the Questing beast is up to mischief and Uther, the current king, orders Merlin to ride out and to kill the monster. Arthur goes after him, because it's his destiny to protect Merlin. Merlin gets attacked, but Arthur saves him by using his magic.
So yeah. I know the video isn't really anything near great. Many flaws and little errors. (Look at the fake crown on Merlin for instance ^-^) But you know I just didn't find the inspiration most of the time to work on this. However I'm glad I finished this and if I don't pass this round, which presumably will happen anyway, I'm still happy that I got so far. =)
Thanks for reading all this and watching the video.
And if you would leave a feedback, you would definitely make my day. ♥ - Krátké a kreslené filmy

I never thought i could envisage them swaping roles until this :)
fanfiction. now.
extremely well made!
THIS is so much better than another au i've seen! SO MUCH BETTER!!!! :D
OMG WELL DONE!!! This was amazing! The audio pieces worked really well for the story and I'venot seen one of these before and Merlin and Arthur swapping roles brillant!!! Arthur with magic and merlin as Uther's son, prince Merlin aw!!! nice job with the crown, suits him *giggles* AMAZING WORK!!! definitely one of my favourite Merlin videos!
OMG hun this was so artistic!! And that crown part was just epic!!!! All of your manipulations were SPOT on and GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! This is phenomenon; I love it to death girl!!
If i didn't watch the show i would think Merlin was Arthur and Arthur was Merlin. That is of the best editing i have seen
This is amazing
wow...just seriously wow, that was incredible - amazing. I cant think of words worthy enough to describe how epic this was - truly fantastic
O M G! this was incredible! you did such an amazing job switching their roles, it was so believeble! the clip choices, the voice overs, and the fantastic editing, everything was perfect! and i loved this soo much! :)
WINWINWIN.

im amazed. this editing is truly kickass.
*tucks away in favs*
This is fan-freaking-tastic this was epically awesome I think I really like the idea of Merlin being Uther's kid that doesn't seem like a far fetched idea
the whole editing was amazing amazing work
That was really good. I actually believed you got the scenes from an episode I haven't seen yet until I read the description to find out what episode. That was so awesome! Thanks for making this video. It made my day, well actually night.
This was awesome!! The song really fit and the manips with Merlin and Uther were perfect :D lol love how brave Merlin is to never where armor when going into battle ;)
This was perfect! and I've seen people doing all these 'switch roles' for the boit competition and I was hoping no one would do arthur and Merlin because I thought it would suck, but you proved me wrong! This was amazing. :)
@tigerlily536: Thank you so much. You're way too kind. But I'm glad you like it and enjoyed above all the Merlin/Uther scenes. They were rather difficult to make, so it's great that you esteem them. Oh and Merlin is a very brave one indeed, but I hope we get more chain mail!Merlin scenes in season three though. Colin looks great in it as well. :D
@AquaRibbon: How sweet of you. Thank you so much. I'm really glad that it is more or less convincing. I wasn't so sure about it, while making it, so it's great to hear that people like the vid.

Wow this is awsome, i hope they end up doing something like this for real on the show....... but alas im in canada and we get episodes like 1 year after, season 3 just started here
@appleXinkling: You always manage to make me blush. Seriously. Your comment is just amazing and unbelievably kind and sweet. Thank you so much for your great compliments. I really feel flattered. And yes, some parts took a bit longer to create than others and you know what I almost lost my patience here and there. I remember to have thrown a book some-when... ;D Anyhow, thanks once more. I always appreciate your comments so much.
Great job!!!
@BlacksGodDaughter: Wow... sweetheart, thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I'm blushing, I seriously do. You can't imagine how happy I am that you like the vid. Oh and the crown... oh well. I wasn't sure if I should keep it for a long time, 'cause for me it looks a bit silly, since I saw this scene so many times and worked on it for quite a long time. So I'm more than glad that you think it looks good. Once more thanks for commenting, hun. *hugs*
Thats so cool !
This is brilliantly done! You must've worked very hard. Great job! How strange would it be if that was how it really played out huh? :)
Wow! You are awesome :)

@harryginnyloveforeve: Wow... and again I'm blushing a tiny little bit. Thank you so much for all your wonderful compliments. I'm really glad you enjoyed the vid and also liked the voice-over, which were above all the most difficult thing to edit together. So once more, thank you. ♥
@AloraVideos: Your comment really made my day. I'm so so so glad you liked the vid, even if you weren't really looking forward to the topic. So thank you so much for your wonderful compliments. I appreciate it a lot. =)

I feel it not fair for Merlin. He's not strong ,so he should have magic for protect himself.
apparently when colin auditioned he was originally given prince arthurs lines..haha.

@VelvetxDarkness: I know, I know... I always found this story rather amusing. :D
And thanks for commenting.
Hello there, this is such an interesting video and an incredible take on the characters. I was wondering if you would mind if someone were to write a story with this premise? Linking this video as inspiration, of course.
I love merlin I wonder what season 5 will be like.
this is good, but I like them they way they are. :)
