Wow. WOW. I don't like fanvids, okay? The form just doesn't do anything for me. But this! This is stellarly clever, charming, so meticulously researched -- when I saw how impressed everyone was with it, I had to watch, and it has got past all my prejudices. So well done. I'm going to sit back and say WOW some more.

Aw, it's such a compliment when someone likes a thing despite the medium/fandom/pairing! You're very kind, and I'm very pleased that it turned out to be worth your time. :-)

This is fantastic! I loved the way you have the same scene echoing across different adaptations. It reminds me just how timeless Sherlock Holmes really is. I could see Watson react to Holmes' return from the dead a hundred times and never tire of it. And the images fit the music so well... the cricket in the thicket was just perfect! I was laughing out loud.

It was so much fun to begin a scene or gesture in one adaptation and end it in another! I admit, every time I got it to work, I was exceedingly pleased with myself. (When making a thing, one must take one's joys where one finds them!)

Fun fact, I clipped and built that Reichenbach-and-Return supercut in a single day. Six back-to-back Reichenbachs, followed by five Returns. My emails to my collaborator from that day run a bit... ahem, florid. (k_e_p mostly just sat over there on the other side of the continent, well away from any screen showing a Reichenbach or a Return, and laughed at me. As she does.)

CRICKET IN THE THICKET. There were a couple lyric matches that I knew all the way back from the first day, and that was one of them. It might even have been the first set of clips I put in the timeline, when I finally began building it. It was just a delightfully, marvelously stupid thing to do, and it still makes me laugh. I'm so glad it makes you laugh, too. :-D

Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it so well!

Thank you so much! And I must say, I was absolutely floored when I saw what company you put this vid in. I'm very pleased that you enjoyed it so well!
