The Marauders | Beautiful Crime

♫ We fight every night for something. ♫
-
I just gotta say, I really, truly love the Marauders' Era. So much. There's so much to explore and I love editing it. I also love writing for it (hint hint).
Basically, I have been writing a Marauders-focused spec series of screenplays. You can check out the website I have set up for it here to find out more information:
riseofthephoenixscreenplay.com/
In other news, I didn't feel like writing so instead I pulled up an ancient project to speed edit. It's not my best work, and it was a lot worse with the first render, but I ended up adjusting it to a point where I was happy. Not bad for a four minute AU video that I finished in just a couple days. The story is a bit out of order and not quite complete, but I think it worked out.
Also, this is for all the editors who love the Marauders as much as I do. Alyssa (darknessinside), Grace (Nerissa), Aleks (stillhotterthanyours), Mili (lavender), ohmystars, and Bells come to mind. Keep on vidding them!
I mainly just focused on the Marauders' and Lily, with the occassional guest appearance. I wanted to go more in-depth with some other characters, but I was editing faster than I was downloading other fancasts, so it didn't happen.
James Potter - Aaron Taylor Johnson
Lily Evans - Sophie Skelton
Sirius Black - Ben Barnes
Remus Lupin - Andrew Garfield
Peter Pettigrew - Dane DeHaan

Regulus Black - Luke Pasqualino
Emmeline Vance - Jenna Coleman
Footage is from Harry Potter and various other shows and films.

If you love Harry Potter/The Marauders' Era, you should check out this Tumblr page! It's a project I've been working on called Rise of the Phoenix; a screenplay based off of the First Wizarding War, the Marauders, and the rise of Voldemort and the original Order of the Phoenix. A team of us are working to produce this into a real series! You can sponsor the project here: patreon.com/riseofthephoenixscreenplay (Ironically, I made this video to procrastinate on writing.)

[@mrainjaafari6091]

SunnyVids this is amazing*_* i have a question...is this a video clip ?? would make a movie?? i don't know about this project ...please more explanation thank you

[@SunnyVids]

As said, it is a screenplay! Check the site out for more details.

[@mrainjaafari6091]

SunnyVids thanl you ^_^

[@lemondrizzlecake7766]

SunnyVids Hey, I just wanted to say - I've just found out your videos as I'm going through a moment of HP nostalgia (they come and go) and I decided to check out your project. I've just finished reading the teaser of the very first episode, and I'm already blown away!! I can't believe how much work and dedication you must have put into this, it's incredible. Thank you - I plan to thoroughly enjoy catching up on all the episodes you posted so far!

[@stillhotterthanyours]

Okay so it is overall AMAZING but Marlene's speech and everything after 3:30 had me violently gasping for air. It was so well put together, whole scene of Sirius seeing James and Vance catching him...I am in tears, honestly.

I LOVE THE MARAUDERS i wish they did like a series on them Jk Rowling is you see this WE WANT MARaUDERS SERIES!!! NOT CURSED CHILD

[@akeditx]

[@Bellsilili]

After this terrible day, this video was my cure. Ahhh how much I love your editing, these characters, this song... If this was speed edit then you have some brilliant editing skills. It was amazing. I love especially Lily's parts. And I am so hyped for your new project and excited to read it!

[@MakaHunterEvans666]

I don't know much about The Marauders' Era but I though I'd watch this and I'm so glad I did, it was brilliant. I squealed when I saw Clara (Jenna Coleman), the way it's all edited is amazing!

[@coolcamomilecharpy2100]

I cried. I cried when I saw Sirius running to get to James et Lily before Voldemort. It was so heartbreaking, you’re an artist !

[@hana-pi1xr]

i love that you didn´t forget about Regulus and all the details

[@MsSkinyMaple]

Oh my god, this is incredible! I can't imagine how much time and work it took to make this video, everything is so well done from the voiceovers to the scene choice and the manip and fancast... it's absolutely amazing! You really outdid yourself with this one, and that means something!

For a true HP and Marauders fan this really is and was like being in some heaven! ♡♡♡ and I love the person you took for Lily and how you made Sirius look at his name on the family tree of the Blacks. I could list so many details I loved in fact. It's really brilliant.

I got goosebumps all over and nearly cried a few times. This was incredible moving and your choice of scenes and voiceovers were brilliant, Zoé! One of the best, if not the best Maurauder's Era edit I've seen. (And I LOVED seeing Jenna in this, it looked so real, your editing is the best! Also, Vanessa Kirby or Princess Margaret as Petunia fit SO well.)
