Wow. I love the focus on Uther. I think it's the first vid of Uther.
I haven't seen any others. I wish there were more!
There's a deeper backstory that we don't get the full explaination of in the show. Obviously we can assume from the legends, but this vid explores something that has been given little time in the source. The simmering and barely contained emotions really come forward with the languid editing that takes the time to get deep into the character and clips.
Thanks. It was interesting to get down and feel through Uther's side of things.
I adore the drumbeat at :11, the woman vanishing on the ting at :45, the way the ball floats over Nimueh's eye around 1:07, the gaunlet hitting at 1:08, the excellent use of the music with Merlin letting the goblet go at 1:18, the way the man is pushed down and Arthur's eyes come up on beat at 2:10, and Uther's hand coming down on 2:15.
Thank you so much for pointing out specific moments you enjoyed. It was fun finding all those moments and making them work with the music.
