Story: Jack is a kind of guy who loves making fun of people. Merida usuallly doesn't care about it or at least so it seems. But there are some lines which shouldn't be crossed. Jack doesn't understand that and he hurts Mer unwittingly.

Now who would have thought.
So as my lack of sound classical music knowledge and professional editing experience are still stopping me from taking that risk and applying for the job as TS's editor, I poured my heart and skills into this. Here's to hoping that you guys will enjoy it ;)
All of the clips used in this video come from the official channel of TwoSetViolin, with the exception being the short shot of Brisbane at the beginning, which comes from this video: youtube.com/watch?v=xf62iqe76bg&t=3s
Liked it? Cool!

#twosetviolin #classical music #bbc #sherlockCREATED NOT BORN | Play/Sing with TwoSetViolinMargaret Helstone2020-10-27 | on behalf of the TwoSet fans that have not had the chance to acquire musical education (or very little of it), I'd like to present this simple creation of mine, hoping that the lyrics and rhymes will make up for the generic and banal melody attached.
hope you enjoy my fake Mary Poppins accent and acting as well.

#twoset #twosetviolin #playwithtwosetviolinThaw Slowly [Official Hiccelsa Teaser Trailer]Margaret Helstone2017-07-06 | "Love will thaw..." He was told once by a wise soul and he could hardly wait for the day when Elsa's icy walls would finally melt. Five, ten, twenty, fifty years from now - it didn't matter. One day she will let her heart thaw and they'll be free to love one another. - water-star, "Thaw Slowly" fanfiction.net/s/10948470/1/Thaw-Slowly
So, another TS trailer I have made, because... THAW SLOWLY HAS BEEN UPDATED, GUYS!
Unbelievable? It surely is. Exciting? Like nothing else in the world.
But it's true.
Since I'm lucky enough to know the author of that beautiful story, water-star, personally, I got her permission to officially share the news with you.
And for those, who haven't done it yet - go and read the story! Now! Even if you're not a crazy Hiccelsa shipper - I promise you won't be disappointed.The weirdo is back [random manips]Margaret Helstone2017-07-01 | Ok, so this is probably the weirdest thing I've ever uploaded.
You see, since the university is (finally!) over, I (finally!) have time formyself. And as I was working on a certain manip (the last one shown in this collection), I also took a look at my old manips - and by "manips" I mean all kinds of edited content. Masks, screenshots, thumbnails - I only skipped the book covers. Well, most of them.
So I sorted them in the chronological order and started watching - and then I thought of putting them together in one big, weird video. I know that images aren't even half as interesting as the videos or gifs, but still, I think they show the whole progress I made during those... hold on, is that three years almost? Wow.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. Some of the pictures aren't really manips, but the original screen shots used to made them. Or they show nothing but my playing with the colouring. A lot of them are blurred, as they were made in an era when I didn't know the power of "disable resample" button. But as I said, that only show how my editing changed during thosew years. And working with videos doesn't always mean masking, right?
I know I had fun making those pictures - I sincerely hope you'll have fun watching them.
And yes, I really hope to be back with an actual video soon.
Don't forget to comment! I love you guys!Writing announcement [Hiccunzel]Margaret Helstone2017-04-29 | Here I am, with another writing announcement for you.
I don't know how, but I have managed to do some serious writing lately. And since it's Hiccunzel and I know - or at least, I believe - that there is quite a lot of Hiccunzel shippers subscribing my channel, I thought I'd share it with you.
Of course, everyone who's not directly against this pairing is more than welcome to read it. And here re the links.
Hope you'll enjoy! :)HADDOCK [Logan Style Trailer]Margaret Helstone2017-04-15 | So, there is this cool trend of making "Logan style" trailers with different, classic heroes - but not making them "play" Logan. Instead, it's all about using Logan's motifs and style to show their own characters, by focusing on their original back story. I can already recommend the ones with Aragorn, Woody, Up and... Deadpool.
Anyway, when I came across those trailers, I immediately thought of a Non/Disney version. And guess what? I found nothing of this kind! HOW? I mean, come one, Non/Disney community, where have you been all this time? So, I obviously decided to make one myself. You judge.
I was very, VERY hesitant about using Dark Souls footage, but I suppose it was a good choice in the end. For all that are confused: The Knight you see in DS scenes represent Hiccup, being older, stronger, but most of all - much more hurt and lonely, living in a world, where dragons are no longer friends. They're not gone, but they became hardly trainable at all.
Ok, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed the video. Please, don't forget to share your thoughts with me!
Oh, and most importantly: HAPPY EASTER, GUYS! CHRISTUS RESURRECTUS EST!When You Believe [collab cover]Margaret Helstone2017-03-25 | Hello, people!
Here I am, back with a simple cover of this beautiful song I recorded with the talented Oncie Punzie. It was created long ago and we actually were going to try with it again but... the time flows and we still can't make ourselves work on it. So, since we both agreed that this first version isn't bad, we've decided to upload it. If we ever find a better instrumental audio, we may try to record it again. Maybe.
Ok, so now all I wanted to say is, that I absolutely adore "Prince of Egypt" and this particular song. I really wanted to make a cover of it, but I obviously needed a partner... And then Violet stepped in. I'm really happy we had a chance to work on it together.
As you may have guessed, I was singing Miriam's part, while Violet took Tzipporah's and the Hebrew fragment. She's also uploaded this cover on her channel, so please, don't forget to visit it and share your thoughts with her as well. youtube.com/channel/UCqKyXYQ5xYhbDg5GcvnTnUw
I really hope you enjoyed it! God bless you all! :)
Fanart picture by Esai8mellows on deviantart.comIm not fine at all [Elinoick]Margaret Helstone2017-02-15 | HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, GUYS :D
I did it! In only 2 days time, I've managed to make THIS. I know it's short and not filled with breathtaking manips, but... I am satisfied. And of course I didn't bring you a happy Valentine video. Come on, that would be too obvious :D
Anyway, I still hope you enjoyed the video.. It was kind of special to work with my beloved Elinoick again.
It's good to be back.Born to make History [Moana]Margaret Helstone2016-12-04 | A super short MEP part I made for xFrostedMoonlight's newest MEP ;) It was hard at the beginning, but now I'm glad I could be a part of it. Here's the link to the Full MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=vXBFbnoWRiw
And yes! I've seen Moana! And it's absolutely gorgeous, you really should see the film if you can.
Enjoy! :)
(Wow, that probably was the shortest video description I've ever written. Feels amazing :D)We Can - Hiccup & Moana [Mocca]Margaret Helstone2016-11-06 | I am so late with that.
Ok, just so you guys know - the montage of this video was actually done the second day after the 1st official trailer was released. But since it's so full of masking (and some crazy manips, like adding a lighting with sv), and I also have other obligations (drawing, writing and, occasionally, the university) it took much longer than I expected. But I did it! And it's in fact my very first long crossover since the day I first tried to mask anything. And it has a plot!
Oh, and yes. MOCCA is the official name for this ship. Two fantastic editors (Pretty Snowflake and xSMCx) agreed with me on that - so you may consider it confirmed :D
PLOT: Hiccup is casually discovering new lands with Toothless. He notices a new island and decides to check it - he founds Moana, whose ship crashed on the shore a few days earlier. He tries to talk to her, but the Maui appears and becomes a bit overprotective about his little friend. Later Moana shows the caves she found to Hiccup; suddenly, she runs away. He follows and rescue her - it appears that Moana was tired of being away from her home, and she wanted to use an opportunity. Hiccup doesn't intent to stop her, but he offers to escort her to her island instead. They reach their target, Moana meets her family and friends. The Viking spends a few days with them, letting Moana show him her world. Eventually, he flies back on Berk, hoping to see his new friends again soon.
Now I need to thank one very special person, who's responsible for bringing this video to life at all - xSMCx. Starting from letting me know about the trailer and helping me with choosing the song, she's been an incredible supporter all the way. Sara... THANK YOU.
So, all I can do now is hope, that it was all worth it and you guys like it. As always, I'm counting on your honest opinion - don't forget to leave a comment below! And basically, thank you, for being amazing! God bless! :)
---------------------------------- Song: We can by LeAnn Rimes Masking: Mine Colouring: Mineimportant announcement.Margaret Helstone2016-10-16 | So, yeah, that's it. As surprising as it may seem, it's all true.
I'm still wondering how much hate I'll get for making this video, or more like, for making it look like THAT.
No matter what you say - I regret absolutelly NOTHING. And if you feel being fooled - or better said, trolled - that only makes me the feel the winner.
Ok, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to start the video this way, it just came to my mind while writing the "thank-you" part. What I want you to know is, I'm so happy about the fact I hit 1K views that I still can't fully believe it. I'm really, really grateful and I do realise how much I owe to you - even the best editor would be nothing without their audience. So, once again - THANK YOU!
As I mentioned in the video, I owe the special thanks to the people who promoted my channel in many different ways - especially, Pretty Snowflake and apple sauce. They made this kind of a promotion video for me; I thought it's a time for paying my debt by promoting other editors, who certainly don't get as much appretiation as they deserve.
Here are the names:
Oncie Punzie youtube.com/channel/UCqKyXYQ5xYhbDg5GcvnTnUw Both 2D and 3D editor, hist of Timeless Tales Studio and a crazy Oncie-Punzie shipper. I couldn't not notice the progress she made with her masking, colouring and canon editing. Go check her out!
xSMCx youtube.com/channel/UCXLS2qYQ6exyq4teBv9N3TA Extremely talented, skilled and creative editor, 3D mostly. Definitelly underrated. You've probably seen her latest Hiccunzel/Rainbow Merida/Ghost manips, as she's been already promoted by xFrostedMoonlight - but it's also her storytelling that deserves some serious extra points. And she certainly needs more recognision ;)
Tash_xoo youtube.com/channel/UCo83AdoBhk632l2ky4_f0gQ I have to say - Tash is the example of the fastest progress I've ever seen. I first saw her as a good, promising editor - and now with every new video she proves she's much more than that. I'm sure she'll appreciate your attention :)
KateFilmsStudios youtube.com/channel/UCGhjzsKZ35xxms82E_jX2-A Ok, it's time for some patriotism here. Kate is another good friend of mine and a POLISH. Yes, it does matter ;) She's quite new as an editor - the Hiccunzel video you've seen is one of her first - who can tell what will come with a little practice!
xFrostedMoonlight youtube.com/channel/UCpaS7CM9fSf-KDIbbkfkBLQ?spfreload=10 If you somehow didn't hear of this girl - shame on you. When it comes to 3D editing, xFrosted is my absolute number 1. Her masking is more than perfect, her manips are creative and absolutelly amazingly done, her storylines are gripping and fresh. Basically, if I didn't know the original films so well, I'd never recognise the new clips from the old ones. "One Chance - One Choice" is the best crossover video I've seen and I can't understand why it's not the most popular Non/Disney movie (because, honestly, it's like a real film). She's an editor who's expected to have 100k+ subs and I believe it's only a coincidence she doesn't. It's time to change it.
Ok, so here we are! I hope you've managed to read all that and you will take my advice on checking out the channels mentioned above. I'm sure you won't regret it! :DMEP DUMP #2 [two years...]Margaret Helstone2016-10-09 | So, here we are - another year has passed, with new ideas and news skills coming up. I'm a little late eith that (I wanted to upload this video at my second Non/Disney anniversary, which was at the end of September) but honestly, who cares. I suppose I did make a progress, even if it's far less spectacular than it was last year. A funny thing is, I actually worked much more with canon this time... But I think I've also improved on that; a little bit, at least.
I want to thank every one who's let me or invited me to participate in their MEPs - it's an honour to work with you guys and I'm happy to help you as much as I can.

It's been a while since I've uploaded anything here (like, 2 months?) but I really want to thank you for being here for me, no matter if I'm active or not.
This is a part for FrozenxFairytale's latest MEP - we are supposed to make an emotional video with a story, fitting the lyrics. I hope I didn't fail with any of this.
Story: Hiccup and Rapunzel are siblings. When enemies attack Berk, Hiccup stands to defend it. Hit by one of the soldiers, he falls down and dies, while Rapunzel can only watch it. The last scene info: in 19th England, widows were supposed to cut their hair after their husbands death. I thought the same could be applied for any late member of the Viking family.
Please let me know what you think, especially about brunette Rapunzel. PS Didn't I tell you she would look great in green?I wont give up [Hiccup/Moana 2.0] - PLEASE CHECK!Margaret Helstone2016-06-21 | Some of you might have noticed that the previous upload of this video has been suddenly blocked on devices such us phones or tablets. I'm so sorry for this mess, but then again, I can't feel guilty for it. Everything was fine with the song... for the first 2 days. Thank you, UMG.
Anyway, call me crazy, but I've decided to reupload the video with a cover of the song, even though the former video is still available on computers. I don't know if you care enough to watch it again. But I honestly hope so.
Ok, so it's been a pretty hard day. Once again, big thanks to Ludo, for being there for me when I really needed that.
Please, don't forget to let me know what you think ;)
Cover by two amazing guys, The Punkens: youtube.com/watch?v=XZytCQcvVVATry Everything [Hiccup/Moana] READ DESCRIPTIONMargaret Helstone2016-06-19 | PLEASE CHECK THE NEW VERSION HERE: youtu.be/V43ZfU1AMPU --------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, ok. Here we go. In the middle of my final exams, I found a few hours to edit. FINALLY. You have no idea of how much I've misssed it. This is a video I was intending on doing since I've heard of Moana months ago. Actually, it's kind of weird that Moana doesn't even have a proper trailer yet and I'm already trying to ship her. I definitely need a therapy.
The video is dedicated to Dreamdust, who was *the first* to use Moana as an avatar picture, with all the wishes of the great weather and as little hailing as possible. Also, to thank her for listening to my instant whining, when I was drowning in Russian/English/Literature, with no hope of passing anything. Thanks, Lu. I also want to give a big hug to Oncie Punzie, who was constantly repeating how amazing Zootopia is and how much I need to watch it. I watched it a week ago and... well, Violet, I couldn't agree more. Especially because thanks to it I could've use THIS song. I think it works pretty well, huh?
And, xSMCx. What did you say? "I can't ship this guys with everyone"? Apparently, I can.
You can treat this video as a preview of something longer - but, obviously, it won't be done until I get my own copy of Moana in good quality. So, see you next year :D
I'm super curious about what you guys think, so please don't forget to leave a comment. Good critic is also most welcomed.
Song: "Try Everything" by Shakira, from Disney's "Zootopia".Masking Giveaway [100k views!]Margaret Helstone2016-05-21 | Hello guys ;) So... I've recently received 100k views on my channel. That's A LOT. Seriously, it still seems a little unreal for me. And if you add almost 650 subs... Wow. You're incredible.
So, this is my way to thank you for all the support I got from you, guys. These masks are not perfect (especially when you see them on green screen...) but I hope that at least some of you will find them useful :) Here's the download link for you: http://www.mediafire.com/download/uiv19wy0qnj2jmi/Masking_Giveaway_%5BMargaret_Helstone%5D.wmv Characters used: Rapunzel Anna Elsa Merida Astrid Hiccup Hans Jack
Love, MargaretTop 5 Videos [TAG]Margaret Helstone2016-05-20 | Ok, so I finally did it. I must say, it was really, REALLY hard to choose from all of my works... So I decided to follow one rule: choosing the videos that were, somehow, a challenge for me.
I couldn't decide which of these 5 videos are better or worse - I put them in chronological order and you simply have to deal with that.
*A little commentary to the videos:*
*5. "Lumière" [Elinor & Stoick]* This is probably the only video that wasn't such a big challenge for me. But it's rather old, and honestly, I thing that I did pretty well with it - especially when you think about how poor my skills were at the time. And, besides... It's Elinoick. It just had to be here. youtu.be/0pJxN4PmB-U
*4. "Broken Strings" [Elsa & Flynn]* This was the first time, when I was actually proud if my masking - and I still think they are quite good. And yes, it was a challenge - I was so scared of being compared to all the amazing editors that were taking part in this MEP... But, you know what? I don't think I totally failed ;) youtu.be/QWqLCk3iYUw
*3. "Just do it" [Non/Disney]* I have to admit, I had a huge problem choosing between this one and "13 horses". But this one was another challenge for me. Would it be possible to use that super-hilarious Shia's speech and make a serious, moving video? I leave the judgement to you. youtu.be/_HsuZJaE0V4
*2. "The Damn Helsa"* [Also known as "All about us"] The first title says it all. It was the most difficult work I've ever done - I wanted to abandon the project so many times, that I couldn't count... Especially, because I didn't meet the deadline. So, if you like it, you should thank Fable Secrets for her patience and understanding. I really hope to extend this short MEP part to a full length video one day. youtu.be/WcvQmKaa_8Y
*1. "Cinderella" [Non/Disney trailer]* This one is both the newest and most favourite one. Definitely a challenge (changing the dress?) because of the manips I made and the constant race with time (there's always too little of it). But honestly? The thing that makes it really special for me is, that it was made as a gift for my dear friend, known here as Pretty Snowflake. youtu.be/AwCu9cojvk0
*HONOURABLE MENTIONS:*
*"unloved." [Thaw Slowly]* You must've expected me to mention TS at some point. Not only because it's a beautiful story, but also because the impact it had on me. I made only two videos based on it, so far - but it's not only about editing, it actually encouraged me to start writing and publishing my works. And since this video is basically an adaptation of Chapter 12, I feel free to say I really like how the voice overs worked ;) youtu.be/XTM-kREdJCo
*"DEADPOOL" [Non/Disney trailer]* Because it simply looks like an honourable mention. And because badass Hiccup. youtu.be/ZPyXEpUTyek
I hope you like what I did here and I'd love to know if you agree. Hough!Writing Announcement [Once Mine & more] NOW POSTED!Margaret Helstone2016-05-11 | Ok guys, a little bit of spam for you. As you may know, I started writing a few moths ago. I am also determined to translate my works into English. So, for all that are interested - here's a good news! Chapter 1 of Once Mine was finally translated, CHECKED and... uploaded. After a few months of waiting, it's finally there. You can check it here: http://my.w.tt/UiNb/1NUjJghLit fanfiction.net/s/11746093/1/Once-Mine
I also wrote a completely new story, not connected to Once Mine in any way. It is called "I am." and it's a simple Hiccstrid story. In other words, a one-shot. Check out here: http://my.w.tt/UiNb/qMwsv8DjRt https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11972001/1/I-am
Song used: "Moon" by Sleeping at LastBattle Scars [Frozen]Margaret Helstone2016-05-06 | So, I finally decided to upload this. It's pretty strange that when I had a choice between working on HTTYD and Frozen, I chose the latter... But with my sudden love for Anna, everything is possible. Oncie Punzie, thank you for opening this MEP in TTS Studio. I'm happy to be a part of it. You can watch a full MEP here: youtube.com/watch?v=rqI_qaxH6pg
Oh, and one more thing! I'm happy to announce that my latest video, the Cinderella Trailer has received 5k views (?!). I wanted to say big thank you to all of you - it would never happen without your help, guys.
God bless you all.Cinderella - Non/Disney Trailer [remake]Margaret Helstone2016-04-13 | Dedicated to Pretty Snowflake.
A LITTLE BIT OF PERSONAL STUFF YOU CAN SKIP (or not, you decide). A proper description below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tadadadadada! It's done! It's finally done! And you had no idea I was even working on it.
Sab, I don't know if you realised that, but on April the 12th 2015, exactly one year ago, we had our first real chat. If there's an event we could call the start of this acquiantance, I'd choose this one.
So, this is kind of an anniversary. And you know, anniversaries deserve gifts. Since I've already got "Iris" and "Salvation" from you, I thought I should at least try to pay back for it. And Cinderella trailer used to be one of your favourite videos... And we actually noticed each other because of it.
Thank you for this year, Milady. It's been amazing.
*I just wanted to add that I met the deadline on my side - it's still April the 12th when I'm uploading it. You just go to bed too early.
I can't believe I'm finally able to say it but it's done, good and ready. And it's Hiccunzel! Oh man, that was hard. I don't think I've ever done so much masking in my entire life. In so little time. The truth is, I've been meaning to remake this trailer since I started using colouring/masking etc. For some reason, the old trailer was really successful (13k of views?!) but when you think about it, it wasn't that good really. Now it's here again, with proper screen resolution, masking and a soft colouring. Basically stuff I had no idea of 16 months ago. I hope you'll like it like the old trailer, although I'm afraid it won't get that much attention ;] You can watch the old trailer here: youtube.com/watch?v=4YyTPZj-XLw
Now a very special person that I have to thank. Dreamdust. Ludo, thanks for being with me all this way. For all the support, all the motivation you've been giving me. For believing in me and calling me a maniac when I didn't. I know I said that before, but it really means a lot. Thank you.
I also want to thank Sara (xSMCx) for helping me with the colouring. It's rather simple but I'm quite satisfied - all thanks to you clues, dear :)
The troll scene shamelessly stolen from mrsfrosts.
Ok, so that's it. I think I've deserved a break from editing right now. We will see about that. Please don't forget to comment, your thoughts are really important to me. Howgh!

[Thaw Slowly]Margaret Helstone2016-03-28 | *500 subs?!* Guys, you're amazing! ------------------------------------------------- Back to the video. I just had to.
After reading Chapter 12 of "Thaw Slowly" I was so moved that I simply couldn't pass over it. I had to make this video. I've never been very fond of Anna. I've started to think a bit better of her some time ago. But water-star, you made me love her with all my heart. Thank you for that.
The video isn't perfect, I know. But I did my best.
This time I can't get any credits for using the voice overs - all I did was putting them on the time line and making sure it fits the music. Or more like making sure the music fits the voice overs. They're taken from water-star's story just as they were, in the same turn. I had to skip few... but most of them is here. The text you can see on the video is simply the narration you'll find in the story. Once again, it is put here in a correct, specific order. I had to paraphrased some of them but I hope I did it well enough.
So, yeah. This is basically the video version of the very beginning of Chapter 12 of Thaw Slowly.
Obviously, it is dedicated to the author. I hope you enjoy this.
Please, let me know what you think. Comments are always valuable and also very kind. All constructive critique is most welcomed here :)

This is my part for Timeless Tales Studio MEP. youtube.com/watch?v=h3FXsA1G1a4 Firstly I wasn't planning on uploading this video to my channel, but Oncie Punzie instisted on that and since she's the host of this MEP... At the beginning each of editors had to pick a character and obviously, I chose my lovely Viking Lady. The first thing we had to do was...
... a Representative Character video.
It means that this video is supposed to introduce me - my character, my editing and also me as a person. I guess it makes this vid kind of special.
So, about showing my editing:
- Voice overs/*checked* - Characters moving with the songs beat/*checked* - Some weird effects I'm not good at/*checked* - Adding shadow wherever I can/*checked* - Soft, bad colouring/*checked* - Unnecessary masking/*just wait to see the intro of the full MEP*
I also wanted to show these character features I share with Astrid. So yeah, I'm never satisfied, I tease my friends a lot AND I do roll my eyes.
"I've got an idea!" line tells the rest.
Oncie, thank you for inviting me to your studio. I'm sure this is the beginning of a great adventure.

Oncie, thank you for encouraging me to take part in this project... And for everything else. I hope you're satisfied ;)
*What actually happens in the video* Jack sees that Merida is kind of tired/pissed of. That reminds him of a serious quarrel they had some time ago (black and white parts) and makes him wonder if they're really fine after that. But fortunately sad memories aren't everything and Jack, remembering all the fun they've had together realizes that there's nothing they should worry about.
Song: "Out of the Woods" - cover by For King and CountryDEADPOOL - Love Story [Non/Disney]Margaret Helstone2016-02-15 | You guys didn't expect me to simply make a sweet Valentine video, did you? Not after that Christmas preview :D I am actually pretty much excited about this film PLUS I've got a brother who constantly reminds me to "leave all that nonsense I'm working on" and focus on important things - a "Deadpool" trailer, for example. I'm still not sure if I make a Non/Disney version of the long trailer, especially that we don't really have much scenes with Hiccup in his helmet and I really think it's what we need here. Anyway. Even if the only pros of making this video is the possibility of seeing Hicc saying: "It's time to be a... superhero" (and being such a bad ass in general)... It was worth it.
By the way, did you guys notice that I actually masked Hiccup here TWICE? And that these masks are actually DECENT? I never knew what I was capable of :D
This thing is dedicated to my awesome and insane #rotbtd squad. And also with the big hug for Ludo and Sara, who could see me complaining about making all that.
I hope you enjoy! It was fun to make it, let's hope it will be also fun to watch it. Don't forget to comment :)

Well. There goes that dream, as Snotlout would say.
This is my part for xMiss Candyx Valentine Canon MEP. Great idea, I'm sure we'll all love the final result. Lucy, I hope you don't mind me uploading it after all, even if it's "a very short part to post in YT" :D
I must say, I'm really satisfied with the final result, even with the colouring. And it was real fun to make it.
And say whatever you want - I really think that Astrid taking the pen from Hiccup and taking over the map is pretty cute. She'll be the perfect wife of a Chief.
[fun fact: I've already made a video to this song. Only then it was Hiccunzel. It's kinda funny to make two videos, with two ships - still using the same male, though - to one song.]
You can expect another video soon. VERY different from this one :D
What can I say - enjoy, Hiccstrid shippers! Or anyone who doesn't hate this pairing, really ;)

Well, my own. I've finally managed to translate the Prologue (thanks to amazing Mae and Penelope, also known as apple sauce and water-star) so I can share my little work with you. Please tell me what you think, I'm really curious about your opinions (as always). Her's the link to the story: wattpad.com/210947432-what-once-was-mine-prologue fanfiction.net/s/11746093/1/Once-Mine
May The Force be with you all!# OTP tagMargaret Helstone2016-01-18 | FAVOURITE! Of course I mean FAVOURITE VIDEOS! ----------------------------------------- Anyway, this idea came to my mind some time ago and I thought: 'Why not?'
The video turned out to be rather long but since it's the first tag on this kind, I needed to put a little introduction there.
Now.
I've decided not to add a commentary on the video but I have to do it somewhere. About the videos I've chosen and the pairings themselves.
Flynn & Elsa For some reason this ship seems really classic to me. Two handsome adults in love with each other. Who could probably kick more asses than anyone if only they wanted that.
Videos I chose were made by our legendary Felsa editor, * Constellations of Neverland. She is absolutely amazing, constantly reminding us that you don't need masking to make a beautiful, touching video. And of course, THE VOICE OVERS. I especially love the idea of Zachary and Idina singing together... It has inspired me to make another video with them :D youtube.com/user/TheJazzyBReal/videos
Elsa && Hiccup That's the ship I always liked BUT it became my true love a few months ago, when I started reading "Thaw Slowly" (yeah, I'm still freaking out about it) These guys are perfect for each other, especially when you think about comforting each other during a hard time.
'Help me' Using 'Race to the Edge' clips made that video fresh and actually, surprising. The scenes work together perfectly (did you see those white-out scenes?!) and the manips are well done. And I can't forget the song - the melody was moving and Russian is one of the most beautiful languages on this planet so... perfect. youtube.com/channel/UCHMKHitDB2Ij49zzQXKvAxw
"Love lines" Original, touching story with great editing. This video had been one of my favourite even before my Hiccelsa madness. Great job, girl. And don't be confused about the difference in nicknames (if someone doesn't know FableSecrets yet (how...?) you must know that she changed her nickname just while ago ;) youtube.com/channel/UCwfiC7fX5KiTGkuq4JIJM7g
Astrid & Flynn Well... Another bad ass pairing. First of all, I really think Astrid deserves more love. Or attention. Or both. I know there are a very few scenes with her in the film but... Hey, it still is possible to work work that! About the ship - I think they would be just a pair of psychos, getting in troubles all the time. And always getting away with this.
'Wide open' As I said. Bad ass. But still gentle. Once again my amazing friend did a great job.
'All I want is nothing more' THAT'S special. This was one of the first videos of this kind I've ever seen. I was like: "HOW DID SHE EVEN MAKE THAT MANIP." It definitely made me wanna vid myself. Unfortunatelly, the author is on the hiatus now... I'm going to miss you, girl :( youtube.com/channel/UCYnWnHG01h5mpr5lgUdm_YA
Elinor & Stoick Yes. This is true love. I'd never seen a video with them before I made one myself. Ans the situation hasn't changed much. (does that make me an inventor of this ship?) Anyway, my love for Elinoick is growing constantly. Just because.
The video I put here is simple and touching. It's the part of Pretty Snowflake/anatomyst. collab. Check it out, it's awesome.
Rapunzel & Hiccup First OTP. Actually, the first video Non/Disney crossover I've ever made. In this case, I can't describe it in one way - they can be romantic and calm, bad ass, crazy or "fluffy Hiccunzel being idiots" (apple sauce's term). I guess that's what makes them perfect.
'After the Silence' Amazing idea of showing Hiccunzel as adult people. Very original - especially when the video was released!. And Hiccup in Rapunzel's arms... youtube.com/channel/UCOUchLMESfGoTxEAChxDE_A
'Give me love' Another 'early seen' video. Apple sauce has made a great job and I don't care that the video is old. It's amazing. I absolutely love the idea of Punz and Hicc being friends but obviously feeling more for each other. And! There is Felsa in this vid! :D youtube.com/channel/UCMy4u17DTRBYXBDKYTTjTmQ
'Iris' That's not a good title. 'The best Non/Disney video you're ever gonna find. Ever.' Yeah, that sounds a bit better. And seriously - the story in 'Iris' moves me every time I watch it. The manips are perfect , the colouring is perfect. EVERYTHING IS FREAKING PERFECT IN IT. And there is only one video that can be compared to it. 'Iris' sequel.
So, I guess that's it. I hope you like the idea. And if any of you wants to see more of my 'OTP videos' you may as well visit Pretty Snowflakes channel. It's basically the same. Did anyone actually manage to read all that? Seriously? Do something with your life, bud.
THIS VIDEO IS NON-PROFIT! I don't own any of these videos, nor the sound. Or rights goes to the proper owners.All I want for Christmas [video trailer]Margaret Helstone2015-12-27 | So, new work. Or more like a preview to a new work. Some of you have heard that I was working on a Christmas video but I'm pretty sure you didn't expect this kind of atmosphere in it :D This cover has inspired me from the beginning so I had to make something. I have full stories already in my mind but unfortunately, I didn't have time to make all the masks etc. Apparently this trailer is mostly about Helsa but you can expect much more of Rapunzel and Eugene or Kristanna. Plus there will be a bit of another couple ;) I hope you enjoy my work but if you don't, please share your opinion with me as well.
Oh, and one more thing! Few days ago I hit 400 subs which is A LOT! I wanted to thank all of you my dear viewers, especially those, who make an effort to promote my channel (that includes a certain video, Sab). You really make me wanna keep doing this thing.
Merry (late) Christmas to all of you!Were willing to go [Quasimodo]Margaret Helstone2015-11-10 | I was invited to the 72 hours MEP recently (which was really flattering! Thanks!) and here's the result. My opinion of my montage skills is lower and lower every time I edit but I hope you guys like it :)
Let me just add that I didn't use Esmeralda because of the romantic side of their relationship - no matter if she loved Quasimodo or not, she was the first person to see a human being in him. And that's bloody important.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to comment ;)John Tucker must die - Non/Disney TrailerMargaret Helstone2015-11-01 | Yasss! I did it! :D And no, I didn't cut the video. This trailer really is 30 seconds long xD Dedicated to Mae, who (for some reason) got pretty crazy about the preview for it. I hope you're satisfied :D Also with a big hug to Lu, for trying to help me when SV turned out to be a bitch again. Although, not with the masking, apparently. Honestly, I'm pretty much proud of these :D
By the way, if someone decided to vid the shipping war, I'm quite sure it'd look exactly like the beginning of this trailer.

Isharis, I'm sorry, but apparently I suck at editing like this. I'm not very familiar with all those effects. But I hope you'll find it decent enough :D
What else can I say - I had to work with Astrid. She's definitely one of my favourite Non/Disney heroines.
None of these amazing fan arts is mine, unfortunately. I promise I'll credit all of you guys but now it's 2 am here and I still have some things to do.
Don't forget to comment! I really want to know what you think! :)

Even though two previous meps are still not uploaded... Yay! Anyway, this one is pretty special for me. Because of the song and because of the theme. I'll share my little secret with you - I've started writing a Hiccunzel fanfic some time ago and this song is connected with it. Since I first listened to it, it has been reminding me of my story. And besides, I think it's beautiful. So, I decided to open a mep with it! Not a Hiccunzel mep (although i was thinking about it) but an OTP mep. AND initially I was thinking about letting you choose your own favourite pairings but then Pretty Snowflake steped in saying: "Hey, you should use your own OTPs!". So, I'm doing it.
RULES: - Pairings from the list only - No character repeat - I want to have 3 3D parts and 2 2D parts - Please add some colouring to your part. You can also put the lyrics on the video :) - I'll choose the editors - please don't feel offended if you're not picked! - I don't demand a professional program but I do demand HD! It's really important! - Don't cut the audio by yourself, but download your part ;) - No watermark - I'll add it for you - Upload your part on sendspace/mediafire. I'm not going to download anything from YT! Although you can upload it on your channel if you wish :) IMPORTANT! I want you to show a story, not a mix of clips only. You may use some additional characters if you wish, without informing me about it ;)
Here's the list of my OTPs you can choose from: Elsa&Flynn Elinor&Stoick Astrid&Flynn Astrid&Nod Anya&Quasimodo Esmeralda&Dimitri Pocahontas&Little Creek
Because of the "No character character repeat" my greatest OTP (Hiccelsa) is not here. But there's a Hiccelsa mep out there, hosted by Pretty Snowflake (it's still open, I guess) so it's fine :D
To prove you've read all that, please write "keeps my eyes closed" in your comment :)
Parts: Part 1: Disneyfan Maddie - Anya and Quasimodo Part 2: Pretty Snowflake - Elinor and Stoick Part 3: xMiss Candyx - Pocahontas and Little Creek Part 4: Mine - Rapunzel and Hiccup Part 5: xSMCx - Astrid and Flynn
Song: Mercury by Sleeping at LastNoble Maiden, dance with meMargaret Helstone2015-10-12 | A small mash-up for you. Because working with sound seems easier than vidding.
Also, one of the reasons I ship Elinoick. Dedicated to those few Elinoick fans that walk this planet.
If any of you like it much enough to edit with it, feel free to steal. Just let me now before doing that :D I'll probably try to make something longer with that. Someday.
Elinoick manip by the amazing Pretty Snowflake :)

Exactly one year ago I uploaded my first Disney video. A lot has changed since then - I learned quite much and I pretty proud of myself. More over, not so long ago I realized I'd hit over 50 000 views and few days after that I reached 300 subs. Believe me or not, it's still a little unreal for me. But what's really important - I met amazing people from all around the world, from New Zealand, through Germany and Italy to USA and Brazil. And I started singing.
But as everything of this kind, my adventure with editing was a process. This video shows it to you - I know it's long but I really wanted you to watch everything. Do you have a favourite one? If yes, don't forget to tell me! :) And more personally - Thank you guys for just being here.
So, that was about the past. Now, about the future. I'm really sorry to announce that since today I'm not going to post videos. I'm not leaving for good, don't worry. But some things happened and I really need to focus on the real world. I have to put myself together. I don't know how long it will take me - maybe two weeks, maybe a month, maybe more. I decided to resign from participating in most of the meps though. I'm sorry guys but trust me, I really, really, really wanted to take part in them. I just don't want to be a person who writes to you 2 days before deadline saying: "You know, I thought I'd manage to do it but I won't." It seems more fair to resign now.
I hope you enjoyed the video. Here are the links to the full MEPs :)

Sorry guys but this is the only way I can think about this video. It took way to long. You have no idea how free I feel right now.
Once again, I can't mask and Sony Vegas seems to hates me. Anyway, I hope you like it. For xDeadlyLovelyx MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=hluiEHcX8G4

Literally. I still can't believe I'm doing this.
This is something so very different than everything I've uploaded so far... But I wanted to try. You judge. Seriously, if you think that I suck or at least I'm nothing original, feel free to say it.
Now, people to blame for this: First of all, FrozenxFairytale. This idea came to my mind while listening to her cover of "Wings" (which, by the way, is beautiful!). So, if she didn't record that, I wouldn't record this. Secondly, one Italian and one German girl, who were supposed to stop me but instead of that they started to supporting me and saying: "Come on! You should upload it!". Sabry, Annie, if I lose all of my subs because of this video, you will be the guilty ones :P
And yes, I decided not to record the choir parts. I just don't feel up to it.
Thic cover is dedicated to water-star, the author of "Thaw Slowly", the best Hiccelsa fanfiction story ever. If she didn't mention this song in one of her notes I still wouldn't know it. I also want to send a big hug for Simon ;)
I just wanted to say sorry for the technical quality - recording by phone isn't the best idea but I just didn't have any other option. But don't worry, I don't think I will repeat it any time soon.
TO ALL THOSE WHO MISS CROSSOVER VIDEOS - don't worry, my next work is on its way and should be uploaded in the nearest future :)# Music TagMargaret Helstone2015-09-13 | I've been tagged by Pretty Snowflake and here's my answer ;) Now you can judge/comment my music taste as much as you wish :D
FEW WORDS OF EXPLANATION: I won't explain all of my choices here but there's one I have to write about - it's in the category of "Favourite song". First of all, I wanted to say that there's no such thing (at least in my case) like a favourite song. It's like someone asked me to tell who of my siblings I love most. Come on. I had a special reason to pick "Hallelujah", though. As you can see, it's in Polish AND it's sung by a friend of mine. It has been recorded in my junior High School a few years ago. If you listen to the full song, you'll hear the choir... So my voice is somewhere in the background too :D
If you have any questions about the rest of the songs ("why did you choose this one?") feel free to ask ;)
And if you ever wondered, I'm going to use most of these songs in my future videos. MUAHAHAH :D

Did I ever mention how much I love working with canon? Without any stupid masking? No? Well, I do. Or I just hate masking. And once again, I learned that I can't work with colouring.

Song: Stronger by Kelly Clarkson (Jervy Hou & Bri Heart Cover)Over the Love - Non/Disney [FULL MEP]Margaret Helstone2015-08-19 | Finally this MEP is done! I'm so, so excited about it ^^ This is the second mep that I post (at all!) so it is still something new to me and that's why I'm really curious about your opinions :) Personally I think that each of those parts is absolutely AMAZING, so I really want to thank every single editor that took part in it.
For me this MEP was also an opportunity to start working with 2D - I admit, it was nice. And I think I found me 2D OTP :D
If you wonder about the theme, here it is: Girl that has been hurt in the past. Or the girl that has hurt someone else. Apparently I'm the only one showing the bad bitch heroine, but, still.
Don't forget to check and eventually subscribe those amazing editors who helped me with that project. I love you guys ;)

Shia LabeoufMargaret Helstone2015-08-05 | Yes, I DID IT. I was wondering if it's possible to make video using Shia Labeouf's motivational speech that wouldn't be funny, but stirring. And I thought: "If you never try, you'll never know." So, it is actually some kind of my own personal quest. You judge if I failed or not.
At the beginning I wanted to use The Big Four itself but then I realized that Frozen should not be excluded.
And yes, I used tones of voice overs, again. Probably to much. Please, somebody kill me.
I hope you enjoy yourself. If you laugh during watching the video, it's fine. I'm waiting for your precious opinions :)

My part for Pretty Snowflake's MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=qfj0QR9sosI (Thank you for being the most patient and understanding person in the world)
Ok, this was supposed to be pretty good story but because I suck at masking and storytelling (and apparently, at colouring as well) I had to change it. As the effect, you have this. You judge.
This video is a bit tricky. I decided to show the relationship between Hiccup and his father as it was, which means showing all the hard time they had. Seriously, when I hear Valka saying all that "Your father never doubted" thing I think "Woman, you know nothing."
Stoick said once to Hiccup: "Remember son. Tough love." And I think that's the best way to describe the bond between them. It was difficult. And that's why it was true.
I will be grateful for your opinion (even if it's "That's the worst thing you've ever done") so please, don't forget to comment ;)

I'm working at three projects at the same time but I hope to finish all of them soon. What do you think of this one?
For those of you who are interested, I just started my tumblr. I'm going to upload there all my works that aren't exactly videos ;) You can find me here: http://margarethelstone.tumblr.com

THEME: Betrayal. I think the plot is pretty clear ;) It's the first time I'm really using that couple. I hope guys you'll like it:)
And, yes, I'm back with crossovers! This time I really mean it :D (I realized that I didn't upload any crossover video since 8th of may). But now it's changing - I have deadlines to meet which means I will have no choice - I will have to make more vids :D
(If anyone knows how to stop YT from ruining the quality of the videos, please tell me. It really drives me mad.)

This thing just came to my mind today. You know I like making music videos and this is very specific kind of it, especially that it is connected to one of my first videos :)
All info is in the video but if you have any questions, just ask. If you think that this idea is stupid and I probably lost my mind, just let me know in your comment ;)

Ok guys, here we are. I've been tagged :D
So, here are some facts about me (does anyone care about that?). Just so you know.
About the videos that made me start vidding - I really don't remember what was it. Moreover, I'm quite sure that I saw "I have to try" after uploading my first video. But I saw all of them at the very beginning and even if they didn't literally made me vidding, they made me want to be better at it. Yes, that was the time when I stil couldn't believe how people put characters to other clips :D
Anyway, here are the links to those beautiful videos:
After watching "Tangled" (again!) and searching for videos with Rapunzel and Eugene I realized that we kind of forgot this couple. Or, at least, I have.
Anyway, Rapunzel and Eugene has always been one of my favourite canon couples. So, I decided to make a video with them only :D
Some of you may remember that the first video I made (using animated films) was with Tangled. So, here we are again. With a big hug for Pretty Snowflake for being the most patient person in the world :D And for the love for Ed :D
I really have to work on my colouring. Please tell me what you think of this one :) I hope you enjoy ;)
I don't own the film or the music.

I have no idea how many of you, my lovely viewers are from there but I wanted to give you a chance to watch the video :) So, it's now uploaded on vimeo. Here's the link:
I hope you enjoy :) Don't forget to comment!13 horsesMargaret Helstone2015-05-25 | Headphones and HD. Please. Also - please try to watch the whole thing. I know it's long.
Ok, I needed that. I had to make a video that wouldn't demand any kind of masking but I still wanted it to be something good. You judge. I wanted to try new coloring, too. This one was created by kindon18: youtube.com/watch?v=dldHAYn2AKQ
It's in fact really old idea - I'm absolutely in love with that song and I wanted to make a AMV to it.
Of course, it's metaphorical. There are no horses in this video and no one is drowning literally. Almost.
What isn't metaphorical at all is Death. It really happens.
I also think that the title is easy to understand - just think about "13 Heroes." There are 13 of them. You can count. And I believe that horses are beautiful metaphor of youth, so everything is on its place. Just listen to the lyrics.
Please tell me what you think. The sadistic part of me hopes at least some of you will cry... If you had any questions - fell free to ask.
PrettySnowflake - I would dedicate this video to you (I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long) but I won't. It's too sad, so I'd feel uncomfortable dedicating it to anyone. To you especially.
I know the video has been blocked in Austria, Germany and Switzerland - I uploaded it on mediafire so you can watch it there or download ;) http://www.mediafire.com/watch/m5xyyzp5pd58ta1/13_horses.mp4 Nevertheless, if any of you want to comment, please do it here ;)
