"Lift you up like a star, that I will follow." (line that perfectly sums up the vid :)

Yeeeee! Finished this, finally! When I read what the challenge was about I was like: OMG what am I going to do?. I knew it was LOTS from the start though, because beside Stargate I dont know any other fandom well enough to make such a complicated video. At first it was Cara/Kahlan, then Leo/Richard, even Rahl/Richard, but I could come up with nothing. So, I said, why keep the same sex? And after my Telephone video & all the crack about girls being waaaay better than Richard in this show, I thought what would Legend of Kahlan be like?
And this is the result.
(For those of you who dont know what Im talking about: this video is for a competition we were asked to take two characters from the same fandom & switch their roles, BUT we had to keep the same storyline AND focus on both characters)
---ORIGINAL STORY---
23 years before the it all begins the wizard Zeddicus Zul Zorander saved the boy who, as said in prophecy, would defeat the evil tyrant Darken Rahl. Richard has lived in a place without magic ever since & when Kahlan shows up to call him to do his duty he has no idea what shes talking about. He has no idea he is the Seeker of truth, the only person who can kill Darken Rahl & free the Midlands. At first reluctant, he then joins both Kahlan, his protector, & Zedd in the journey that was his destiny all along.
---MY STORY---
Zedd saves a baby the night of the massacre of Brennidon (Rahl, knowing of the prophecy, sent men to kill every first born in the town), but its not Richard: its Kahlan. Kahlan is the baby destined to become Seeker of Truth. When Zedd reveals this to her, they embark on the mission to find Rahl & kill him. Richard will be her sidekick, sworn to protect her.
So, that was the main storyline, now to one more detailed:
During the journey Richard & Kahlan start falling for each other but they cant be together because of Kahlans powers, so, to avoid temptation, she leaves but she is captured by the MordSith Denna, who tortures her. Richard manages to enter the MordSith temple. He saves her & they continue the journey together (originally its Richard being captured & etc.). Between obstacles & such. In the end they find a way to kill Darken Rahl, but this means Richard has to be Confessed by Kahlan.
The video starts with Zedd POVs & then switches to Richard's when Kahlan leaves & is captured by Denna.
ps. In case its not clear, the ending bit, after the songs finished, is supposed to be the switching back :P Richard *is* the Seeker after all :)
VOICEOVERS:
- Zedd: 23 years ago a great prophet spoke on his deathbed about the birth of a true Seeker. A child whose destiny would be to seek out & kill the greatest evil of all: Darken Rahl.
- Richard [to Kahlan]: I wont let anything happen to you.
- Zedd: Kahlan, Richard has feelings for you.
- Kahlan [to Richard]: This can never be.
- Denna [to Kahlan]: You'll be trained by me. Rest assured, your training will be slow & agonizing.
- Rahl: Whoever brings me the Seeker will be rewarded beyond imagining.
- Richard [to Kahlan]: The only unimaginable fate is one without you.
- Kahlan: My power is part of who I am, I tried to deny it & it only put people in danger.
- Richard: You have to confess me.
- Zedd: Are you ready?
- Kahlan: To risk destroying a soul? Why wouldnt I be ready for that?
- Richard: Its going to be alright.
NOTES:
- Kahlan is a Confessor. This means she has the power to touch somebody with a power she is born with & amplify the love this person has, so that it completely overwhelms them & they fall in love with her until she dies. The confessed cannot do anything but everything in their power to please the woman (there can be no male Confessors) they love, theyre enslaved & the reason Confessors exist is to bring justice: the confessed must tell the truth. Its a bit more complicated than that, but those are the main traits. Also, Confessors dont have to call upon their power, they hold it in all the time & release it when its necessary. Thats why Richard & Kahlan cant be together: a moment of ecstasy would break that hold & Richard would be confessed.
- The reason I didnt change the fact that Kahlan is a Confessor, its because Richard cant be one. Making him a Confessor, would imply hes evil (male Confessors are evil & killed at birth) & it would've changed completely the outcome of the story.
- Darken Rahl is plotting on reuniting all three Boxes of Orden, a great magical weapon that put together will give him power over everything that lives. Those are the shiny things you see every once in a while ;)
- Really proud of the manip of the "Wanted" poster. Sometimes Photoshop CAN be useful :P Those 2 seconds took 4hours all by themselves, lol. But there was also A LOT of masking involved :P Don't think I'm ever going to do moving masks again xD
