Is anybody out there? *waves* I'm still here! I've signed up for this year's After Camlann Merlin Big Bang as an artist! As I’m a vidder in the first place, I always look for a story I’m able to make a video for, but this year it so happened again that all the available summaries of the stories were posted for claiming were so unique that I realized there is no chance to make a video for any of them.

I was hesitating for a while before claiming elissastillstands' story, because it's incredibly long - 112,651 words! - and I was afraid that I would not be able to read the whole thing before I would do anything in time. She was very helpful, first she sent me a shorter summary, then excepts of the story with parts I was interested in the most and the whole story, too. It was her idea to make a movie poster for this story. I’ve never done anything like this before, so it was a challenge anyway! I've also made a title banner and a set of dividers as section brakes for the story.


"Crave th Brush of Spring" is an awesome AU story, it begins after King Uther's death. Everything happens differently and the focus of the story is on Gwen's character and perspective. I want to say thank you for my author elissastillstands for the amazing AU story which inspired me to make this poster. I'm also grateful for her ideas and for giving me positive feedbacks on my drafts from first to last. These helped me a lot. Thank you also goes to my old friend  [livejournal.com profile] galadriel34 for helping me out as a beta. She always does. I'm grateful forever to my elder daughter Eszter for helping me as a Photoshop expert. Thank you so much, ladies! ♥

Last, but not least, THANK YOU to the mods at [livejournal.com profile] aftercamlann for organizing this year's Merlin Big Bang, again. You're doing a great job to keep this creative fandom going for so long. ♥

Here you can find a book cover, an llustration - a photo manipulation - and a trailer video for the story "Saved" written by [livejournal.com profile] ajsrandom for this year's After Camlann Merlin Big Bang.

This is a Season 5 AU story and it's awesome and very clever. The story of what should have happened to Morgana after she was healed by Aithusa at the end of Season 4. I strongly recommend this to read! I hope, that after watching the cover and the trailer for this story as accompanying arts, you will WANT to read it immediately! The trailer video contains some spoilers for the story, of course, this is what trailers do usually, yes. ;) Other details can be read at the story masterpost.

The credit for the photos are used here goes to Merlin's Keep.

I want to say thank you for my author [livejournal.com profile] ajsrandom for the amazing story and encouraging me to finish the video anyway, giving me incredibly positive feedbacks on my draft works. These helped me a lot! I also say thank you to the always helpful [livejournal.com profile] chayiana for her constructive criticism as a beta. Thank you also goes to [livejournal.com profile] galadriel34 for last minute help as a beta of the illustration. Regarding the cover and the illustration, I'm grateful forever  to my elder daughter Eszter for helping me, she is an expert of Photoshop. Without her precious help this couldn't come into being. Thank you so much, ladies! ♥

Last, but not least, THANK YOU to the mods at [livejournal.com profile] aftercamlann for organizing this year's Merlin Big Bang, again. You're doing a fantastic job to keep this creative fandom going for so long. ♥

Here is my entry for this year's reel_merlin

Title: Dragonheart - A New Beginning
Movie prompt: Dragonheart 2
Rating: G
Summary: When a stableboy - whose dream is to become a knight - and the last dragon become friends, everything is possible. Made for the soundtrack of the movie trailer.

Notes: I found so obvious to mash up this movie trailer with Merlin, because of the Dragons!:)

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] chayiana for being such a wonderful beta, as always! ♥

This is a Season 5 AU story and it's awesome and very clever. And long.;)  I strongly recommend this to read! I hope, that after watching the trailer I edited for this story as an accompanying art, you will WANT to read it immediately! It contains spoilers for the story, of course, this is what trailers does usually, yes. ;) Other details can be read at the story masterpost.

Here is my entry for this year's reel_merlin


Title: How to Train Your Dragon: Merlin style
Movie prompt: How to Train Your Dragon
Rating: G
Spoilers/Warnings: No storyline, no character matching, just pure crack!
Summary: A funny, cracky and totally meaningless mash-up video, made for the soundtrack of the movie trailer.

Notes: I just simply couldn't resist.:D I adored the movie and it was so obvious to me to mash up this with Merlin, it's all the Dragons' fault!:)

I really didn't want to re-create the original story of "How to Train Your Dragon" movie, I just wanted to make a funny, cracky, dorky and totally meaningless mash-up video.:) No storyline, no character matching. If this can make the viewer laugh, than I'll be satisfied, that's all.

Many thanks tochayiana for being such a wonderful beta!

I just realized, that a commercial TV channel here in Hungary started to broadcast BBC Merlin's first season, yay!

But the Hungarian dubbing sounds strange to me after watchin 2 seasons in English, hehe! Anyway, I'm glad that it is on the air, because my mum can watch this. She cannot speak English unfortunately.:P

This year I also made a video for the Sweet Charity Auction  for [livejournal.com profile] podfic_lover . I'm so happy, that you like it, sweetie!

This time I made a Merlin (BBC) video, focusing for a love triangle between Gwen, Arthur and Lancelot. The song used is Between by Vienna Teng, which is a beautiful and touching one.

Here you can watch the vid streaming on Vimeo.
