Jen, really, this is getting old. Stop it, you're making other people look bad.

Ugh, I LOOOVE your coloring in this, especially how you saturated some elements but left others desaturated--like that shot of Gwen in the cell in 2x04 with her red cloak--fantastic. And of course the editing is just perfectly in sync with the tempo of the music, and the shots you picked built up on the emotion/tempo wonderfully. And I know tumblr suggested the parallels in the knighting/crowning, but that moment worked so fantastically here, it felt right, if that makes sense. A+++

Coloring was REALLY important this time around, so I'm glad it stood out! The saturated images represent the current state of Gwen and Lancelot's relationship (unrequited -- whether truly or just seemingly) and all of the desaturated images represent the relationship when their feelings were mutual.

Oh, yay, I'm glad it worked! When I edited in "I'm not a knight yet, my lady" "And I'm not a lady" at the beginning of the vid, I knew I had to include those parallel moments near the end. I feel it captures the tragedy of their relationship from Lancelot's PoV: he dreamed of being a knight and always saw Gwen as a lady. And one day it all comes true -- he's a Knight of Camelot and the world sees her as he always has. Except when everything is finally as it should be, she loves another. And IDK, that just hit me really hard (Lhara deserves all of the awards for forcing me to give Lancelot the attention he deserves

This was absolutely gorgeous. I'm not normally a fan of music videos that involve audio clips, but I loved every moment of this.

OH! My feelings are everywhere, but oh Gwen's face! Lancelot's face! Arthur's face! GWEN'S FACE!

Gorgeous, and unwittingly feeds my OT3 shippyness.
Lovely vid!
