Vid: Halo (Holmes/Watson)

[przed]

Title: Halo
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Need I say it's slash?)
Length: 3:11
Music: Halo by Depeche Mode
Notes: Thanks to draycevixen, for pushing me towards vidding Holmes to Depeche Mode, and giving fab suggestions for the parts I just couldn't crack, and to ancastar for taking a look, even though she hadn't seen the movie yet, and keeping the POV clear.

I love this! And I have seen the movie now--so there!! ;-p

I've already told you how much I like the tension you've been able to create here and the way you're sensitive to the nuances of the clips you've chosen--eye movement, the turn of a head, a gesture. You take advantage of each of those moments and it works like gangbusters. Great vid.

Fingers crossed that You Tube continues to cooperate.

Yay, it's posted! *twirls you*

I know we've talked about this quite a bit *g* but I just wanted to say again what a great job you've done of pulling the subtext to the foreground where everyone can see it. Just really lovely edits too like the sudden jarring of Holmes' facial expression stood over that jar of flies that matches perfectly to that extra note in the song.

Thanks, petal! ♥

Love RDJ. Love the movie. Love the Vid. Thanks!

Thanks! (Where's your RDJ icon? I know it's Tony Stark, but still... *g*)

*twirls you back for your fabulous assistance*

Can I just say my personal favourite cut is to Watson in his hospital bed. What? It's got nothing to do with the fact that he's shirtless. (Okay, maybe just a bit. *g*)

You have indeed. *g*

I'm glad you liked it, and very glad you pushed me to straighten out the POV issues.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I believe the expression that you're looking for is that the shot of Watson is "relevant to our interests" you big h/c loving, hairy chest fan, you. *g*

[przed.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, hairy chests... I'm sorry, what were you saying? *g*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Well, there's an evil plot line for you involving an evil mastermind with the world's biggest bottle of Nair. *g*

Holy crap, that was awesome! I heart Depeche Mode so much! I was actually listening to this song the other day thinking about how it could be a music vid for the movie! You've been reading my thoughts, heh. I would love to see you do more!

Nooooo! ::clutches all my hairy-chested favourites to my bosum::

Thanks! I'm hoping I'll be inspired to do another vid sometime soon. Just have to find the right song again.

Isn't that sort of itchy? I have to admit his chest hair even looks good silver. *g*

Re: *ponders 12,500+ words of crack!fic*

[przed.livejournal.com]

He has the most perfect chest hair. (Also the most perfect eyebrows, but that's an obsession for another day. *g*)

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Ah see, I love Bodie eyebrows... I like my eyebrows to be of the deeply sardonic type, it's a family thing. *g* Have you seen Apparitions yet?

Re: *ponders 12,500+ words of crack!fic*

[przed.livejournal.com]

I got halfway through Apparitions before RL sidetracked me. I have to go back and watch the rest some time.

Re: *ponders 12,500+ words of crack!fic*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why you might want to watch the rest of it:

Absolutely none. *whistles*

You're going to kill me. Really you are. ::contemplates Death by Martin. decides it's not a bad way to go::

Re: *ponders 12,500+ words of crack!fic*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Look how fantastic his skin still is, looooook, looooook! The power of Martin compels you! *g*

My lovely mate Vic has priest kink hence her user name *g* and ND evilly encourages us with these sort of ani pieces... and I'm *still* mad with the Beeb that they said no to a second season. Bah!

Not in the fandom, though I've seen the movie and quite a few of the vids out there - but this, this is by far the best one I've seen. You've cut so perfectly to the song, making the most of every eyebrow tilt, every glance, every nuance. Amazing how you've separated out so many micro moments, and yet seamlessly strung them together to bring this great relationship front and centre. I just loved this!

[inesdelsol.livejournal.com]

It's excellent. I love this song, and you did really good job *thumbs up*, the whole editing is exquisite [if you ever may say such thing about editing at all ;). I really like it.

[zelda-zee.livejournal.com]

Wow!! That was amazing! Your editing skills blow me away - among the best I've seen. Everything about this vid is just wonderful! *loves*

[timberwolfoz.livejournal.com]

Good stuff!

Also, as an old Pros fan, am amused by the drooling over Watson's and Doyle's chest hair. ("What happens if someone spills beer down my shirt?" "The hair on your chest will stand on end.")

Hello, followed a rec from Drayce and just had to leave a comment to say how much I enjoyed this. The song is wonderfully atmospheric and the feel of the clips and the vid match that brilliantly. I love all the clips you have chosen and especially like the sequence where Holmes is playing (with words on the wall behind him). Thank you ♥

Oi! And, well, yes. I'll just be staring happily at the animations you posted above, I didn't need to do any work today right?
