Vid: Sherlock - "Sam's Town"

[severa]

The song's been well-butchered, but better to cut my losses and make a shorter good vid then obviously trying to just pan it out to fill over 4 mins.

So please, take a a gander. It's been a while since I completed a vid.

D'aww, nice. The aspect ratio was a bit off on the one I downloaded (couldn't get the streaming one to work), but nice work, dude:D. AAAAAAAAAAAH, MUST NOT REWATCH THIS SERIES OR I WILL DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[severa]

Yeah, my editor squeezed it for some reason. Had hoped I unsqueezed it enough. Hang about. *checks source file's ratio* *edits*

Download it again. See if it is better now.

I've exceeded my quota on there for today, but have you got a screencap? I always suck with assessing ratios:/...

Great vid! Makes me want to give Watson a hug. XD Good choice of song, too.

[severa]

I think everything Martin Freeman in makes me want to give him a hig. He is just a very squishable actor.

Finally got a chance to watch this and ohhhhh, it makes me grin! So many bits I loved -- the clips you used on "starting to get to me", and on "sick of all my judges" in both verses (lol, Anderson), and on "have you ever seen the light" at 1:13, and and the bit with the violin at 1:55, and and I'm going to stop there. I love all of it. <3

[severa]

To make people happy; that is my only goal with my art, so YAY!

I'm just glad to finally have a new fandom that's actually inspiring me to fic and vid.

[severa]

Also, that moment that I used for 'round 1:13; especially that look when we cut back from Watson looking terribly nonchalant, the expression on Sherlock's face; you can just tell in that moment that he had just fallen madly in love.

[marah_sarie]

YES. Yes, that bit, that's the bit. I love that you used it there on that line.

(Also love Sherlock's smile at about 1:21 or so, by the pool. That whole segment there, transitioning from John to Sherlock's POV, is really well done.)

Random, but, I'm struck each time by the "I've never really known any body that's died before" line, and how well that actually works for Sherlock, who's not accustomed to thinking of anyone in his cases as actual people. (Until it's John wearing the explosive vest, but I digress.)

I've had this song stuck in my head all day, I think you should know. <3

Very cool, and totally one of my favourite vids so far! I would point out my favourite bits, but everyone else has mentioned them already (though "I've never really known anybody that's died before"was perfect).

(Uhhhh also Mediafire hates me, and I would love to download this - would it be possible to upload it to another site, like megaupload? Apologies for being a bother.)

[severa]

Not a problem!

Glad you enjoyed it, so. I just knew I had to vid a series so fun and pretty.

Anyway: new link for download

and will add it to the post as well as an alternate.

It's great the pacing of the video and you did a remarkable job at shortening the song, it goes unnoticed.

[severa]

Oh good. I chopped so much off at the end, it makes me sad. I'm sure if I was truly ambitious I could have made it work.
