This has been one of my favorites of the con, Nicky, and I don't even watch Elementary. Just gorgeous use of metaphors and parallels, and I *adore* your deft touch with overlays and effect work. It also has probably the most effective use of jump cuts I've seen in a very long time ("I bet he couldn't" at 0:55) is one of the moments that really stands out. The whole vid feels desperate and frenetic, in a way I haven't seen from any other vid in the fandom. The opening and ending shots are both so powerful, and it keeps up that energy the whole way.
It feels quite professional, but at the same time has fannish heart.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was a rush job and didn't at all turn out the way I thought it would, so it's good to know it worked for you anyway. :P If in doubt, throw metaphors at the audience and run away.
This is awesome! I love the Sherlock/Irene/Moriarty tangle in Elementary and this is such a great exploration of that. And the blippy bits are so great -- they're one of my favorite bits of the vid!
