Vid: Halo (Holmes/Watson)

[przed]

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Need I say it's slash?)
Length: 3:11
Music: Halo by Depeche Mode

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!

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!

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!

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*

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 ♥

Especially the first 1:45 minutes are really, really good. It's like you really found all the angsty and painful glances and edited them together really carefully and whoa to what an effect.
Marvelous!

Nicely done, P. I liked the song and you kept me intrigued as to how in the heck you'd find enough footage for a vid. LOL! Good job. It was dramatic and interesting from start to finish.

[lovefan81.livejournal.com]

Absolutely loved it. There's so much chemistry between them and the tension ... Great video!

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

Oh heck - it's beautiful! I just loved the bit between 0.40 and 0.50 and then the callback to it later with the violin. Just gorgeous. You are so talented, and you caught their relationship and their potential so wonderfully. Thanks for this little bit of perfection. ♥

[nepthys-uk.livejournal.com]

This is superb. The pacing and the editing was wonderful, really spot-on. And even though I've seen the movie twice, and loved the chemistry between Holmes and Watson, I didn't remember *quite* so many longing looks, so well done for finding them all!

I've download this vid, and now, it's safely nested on my hd to keep watching and watching at it. Because I love it!
You manage to put up front what I see watching the movie: feelings, emotions, all that subtle gestures and glances...
Such a wonderful, wonderful video! I love it! Oh, I already told you that... but it is true, so there: I LOVE IT! ♥
Thanks a lot!

Oh, wow. Just had to comment again! The moment at, I think 2:09 - when you hard-cut in that scene of W in his bed (yes, fellow h'c'er, thank you very much, now what were we saying) to that chilling piano chord - it's just a - a gut-punch, it's so powerful. You take these two powerful moments and make thems tronger, make them speak, really. And in the end, that glance, 3:07 I think, W glances down, as thouhg he's *realizing* something, and H looks back, and you put that to "It will be worth it..."!!!!

*shiver*

Wow.

And btw, thanks for introducing me to that amazing, amazing song. I must check out mroe Depeche Mode.

Sorry for not commenting sooner - Drayce pimped it supplied a linky yesterday in the wee small hours, and I came and saw and dribbled and then had to go and earn an honest crust... but anyway, it's gorgeous - I totally forgot I was watching a fanvid and was vaguely put out when it ended waaay too soon. Wonderful, ta muchly.

This is an amazing vid. I'm not going to find the words to do it justice, but the way that you show the relationship between them is incredible. Going to have to watch this a few more times.

[ci5mates.livejournal.com]

Great movie and great vid, nicely edited, well done.

[dragonmuse.livejournal.com]

Nothing really to say except brilliant vid, and I have downloaded it (via. Megaupload) to watch again and again on my iPod, so thank you! :D

[sarahenany.livejournal.com]

OK, so jsut watched the movie.

Your video totally spoiled it for me! I prefer it to the movie, very, very much. It's just - it's passionate, it *burns*. (In fairness, I'm half-English, and the movie's Britfail partially ruined it for me!) I truly loved it. Vid: Rewatch. Movie? ...not so much!
