New Vid - Drastically Redefining Protocol Trailer

[zoetrope]

I was so convinced I'd be able to resist the lure of Merlin. Oh, how wrong I was.

Of course, it's all rageprufrock's fault, with her dastardly awesome epic Drastically Redefining Protocol. Which I love. With the fire of a thousand very hot suns. So, with her kind permission, I made a trailer.






Drastically Redefining Protocol Trailer
Length: 1:13
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Summary: Modern!AU. In which Prince Arthur meets Merlin and all hell promptly breaks loose.
Spoilers: Hmm, not really.

With massive thanks to rageprufrock for the love, and lim for all the help. ♥

ETA - I did not get my act together to sign up for 14valentines this year, which is an epic fail on my part. So, technically this isn't part of that worthy endeavour, but it is in spirit. Go check out the community!

that was really enjoyable, sweet and interesting.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[calathea.livejournal.com]

Wow. I am BLOWN AWAY by your vid! That was amazing! :D

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! :D

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those (many) people who were introduced to the concept of a fanfic trailer by your very own 'Hindsight' vid. Not only introduced but blown away actually:) So I was thrilled to see this, especially considering the source fic and I wasn't disappointed. This was fantastic. The paparazzi angle of it all, capturing the hilarity *and* the sweetness of the story. I could kiss you!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[cheshirefrown.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that was fabulous! Totally enjoyable and great editing.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

*draws hearts around this*

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks so much for your help!

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME. Really fantastic--god, I want to see that movie. (Actually, like so many movies, I suspect the book is better :)

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! :D

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

And then I died like a dead thing.

Oh DUDE.

ETA: That was so good I had to watch it again. And will probably watch it again after that. I am so happy to see you in a fandom I'm in again. \O/

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Yay! Likewise :D *hugs*

[astolat]

*squeaks in utter glee*

That is SO FREAKING BRILLIANT. *dances* I especially love the bit you have of Merlin (okay Colin :>) on the steps with the camera overlay, focusing in and out on him. I just, I adore how you do so much with suggestion and hinting, and the music is perfect. ♥

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you! Really pleased you enjoyed it! :D

[sandrainthesun.livejournal.com]

This is so lovely. I adore the use of colors.
And the footage from the DVD-Extras really gives you the paparazzi feeling.

Perfect trailer for a perfect story. *g*

Btw, what song did you use?

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And the song is Once Around The Block by Badly Drawn Boy.

[seraphina-pyra.livejournal.com]

Amazing trailer.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

You already know how I feel about this, but I feel it necessary to talk about how fucking MINDBLOWLY COOL THIS IS some more. Seriously! So cool! I can't decide what I like best about it: the song (lotsa people wondering what the song is, btw); the timing; your massively clever use of the paucity of available clips of these two; the way you made London glittery and beautiful and like something out of a romantic comedy of the highest-budget kind, or how coy this is. I adored it. Now, I will go watch it a million more times.

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

This really is so beautiful - I have two quesitons! First - what is that amazing song that you used for that song? And two - can you please tell me (it's OK if you lie) that you somehow composited a newspaper, then like stuck it in a newsie's stack and took the pictures that way? Because I was totally amazed by that (because I'm a nerd). Reeeally gorgeous.

Unless I'm much mistaken it's Badly Drawn Boy's "Once Around the Block" from the album Hour of the Bewilderbeast.

[stormymouse.livejournal.com]

OMG! that was brilliant. i can't wait for rageprufrock to post the next chapter but this made waiting for it oh so much sweeter! thanks for sharing!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

thank you! Isn't the story awesome?

[kaitou1412.livejournal.com]

Jesus, that's fantastic. I'm so impressed! (Also, that's one of my favorite songs, so that made me squee as well.)

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I must have listened to my whole iPod twice, and it was the only song that I felt worked. I live it too *g*

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

Well done! Now who's going to pitch your trailer and her script for a movie?

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks.

[sequinedfairy.livejournal.com]

[lian-li.livejournal.com]

lol :D! *points above* cannot top the glitter, but 500 billion karma points to you, you are made of brilliance and kisses, and so it this trailer! I had to stuff my fist in my mouth to keep from SHRIEKING WITH MAD, MAD JOY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

*hugs and twirls you*

*goes to watch again*

[incapricious.livejournal.com]

That is so amazingly cool! Brilliant job. *goes to watch again and again*

This is really great!

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

[jeppa.livejournal.com]

Wow, what an awesome vid. It's so classy! I love the beginning part where "arthur" is walking down the street with his hand on his neck, and then we see all these paparazzi cameras. Too cool.

[zoetrope.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[woldy]
