Albert/Victoria – Love Story Fanvideo

I am happy to present my first fan video for Albert/Victoria! Finally.

In my edit there are a few points that are different from the original series:

  1. The only criticism I had about this show was that there was not enough build-up toward their relationship. So I had to create build-up by rearranging the clips to make their courtship look longer than it actually was in the show.
  2. In the show, it is actually Victoria who proposes to Albert.
  3. Victoria’s father had passed away so he is not actually in the picture, so I had to refer to Lord M as her “daddy” because he is the closest thing to a father figure she has. xD And it was kind of funny because Albert wanted his approval on some level. So it kind of does fit.

I had a lot of fun playing with these clips. This video was easy to make because the storyline really lent itself to the song as it was already in some ways like Romeo and Juliet. I mean the Feel of it, it has that fairy-tale young love feel. I bet the creators wrote it that way on purpose.

I used only Season 1 clips for this idea since it is about the early part of their relationship. If and when I make more videos for them, I will be using clips from other seasons too.

I had decided before that I will put my first 2 Albert/Victoria videos in my main YouTube (SorcererRain), and any other consang-related fanvideos I make beyond that will go in the new one (Rainbowamory).

Thank you for watching ! ~

Victoria (tv series)

It’s kind of sad that I’m so late on making a comment about this, but I figured people must’ve already heard of it from other sources.

Victoria is a TV series based on the life of Queen Victoria. It’s the same story as that told in the movie The Young Victoria (in the film list I put up awhile ago). But they will have their own take on it since it’s a series. A significant part of it will be about the love story between her and her first cousin/husband Prince Albert.

If you want to watch it online, you can see it on Primewire (but be warned of popup ads):

This is not a proper review but just a few comments since I’m only on episode 4. No major spoilers.. just how I feel about it so far: 

I’m in love. I think I finally found that magic pair that makes me want to ship hardcore… as I said before, video-editing is a hobby of mine but I haven’t made any vids for a related pair yet because I’m picky. For me to make vids, I need to feel a personal connection. I loved The Young Victoria movie very very much. It was perfect and its existence makes me so happy, but on a personal level, I didn’t relate to the guy’s personality as much and the woman wasn’t really… my type. I know that shouldn’t be a factor but when it comes to video-making it’s kinda important to me.

Other than the music in the opening (which I really can’t stand) the series appeals to me on a more subjective level mainly because I identify more with this version of Albert. He is socially awkward in an amusing way (flower-in-shirt moment.. lmao) but is still serious and dignified. And there’s something about him that’s more edgy and sometimes he can be a jerk. An unrepentant, honest jerk. I like that. I get that. That’s the kind of guy I typically relate most to… He seems like a bit of a loner. But he’s still nice to Victoria, and that’s important.

Their dynamic is adorable, natural, subtle. I found Victoria to be annoying at first but she gets more charming. The only thing is.. I wish the writers would’ve prolonged their courtship so that there was more of a buildup to the proposal. In real life they had a longer courtship, I believe. But there’s still time to develop the relationship.

I am in love and feeling the feels. I delayed watching it cause I wasn’t sure if I’d have more of a connection with this Albert. But holy shit, I do. I’m going to vid them hard. lol Under all my vids, I’m going to link to my blog so ppl can learn facts about cousin love… and maybe this ugly world can be a little better for couples like them.

That is all.
