New Vid: A Different Light (Sherlock)
My vidding drought appears to be over! Hurrah! \o/ I have no photoshop on this computer, so no vid graphic. If anyone feels like making me one...well virtual hugs and cookies would be on offer for sure. Enough blather (there's plenty of that under the cuts), on to the vid! :)
Title: A Different Light
Fandom: Sherlock (clips from "A Study in Pink" only)
Music: My guiding Light by Evermore
Vidder: starrylizard
Summary: John's POV. John is invalided home from Afghanistan with a psychosomatic limp, an intermittent tremor in his hand and a feeling that he doesn't quite fit. Then he meets Sherlock and learns to see the world in a different light.
Prompts: YELLOW on my vid_the_grid Table. ( Table link)
Beta thank you: ash48 was a wonderful help with her beat-whore knockdown and useful commentary on the early drafts. She hasn't seen this final version, so any weird edits are mine alone (and I hope that transition works now, Ash!)

Vidder notes: This is my first vid in over 6 months and I feel like a noob vidder/Vegas user all over again trying to find the right buttons and what not. I never ramble over vids, because I generally just hope the content is obvious, but I'm going to break my rule and just say a few words. Read them or skip them as you like.
The first scenes are meant to give a visual impression of how London is just as daunting to John, if not more so, than the war zone he just left. It's also pointing out the sheer contrast between the two experiences. The vid is intended to show John's point of view as he is pulled into the excitement of Sherlock's world, where he learns to see the world in a different light, and simply can't resist following Sherlock into the battlefield of London. In the context of the song, Sherlock is "his guiding light". (Cheesy, sorry.) This renewed sense of adventure and purpose brings John back to life (his limp and tremor all but disappear) and by the end of the episode/vid there is an obvious mutual appreciation between Sherlock and John, a companionship and loyalty. John is no longer just following Sherlock blindly into the fray, he has a sense of purpose again.
Lyrics:I cut down the song with a less than gentle hacksaw, so these are the lyrics that you will hear in the vid, but they are not all the song lyrics.
"My Guiding Light" by Evermore
Running around this town
Looking for something
That I know I'll never find
Running out of breath
I gotta learn to see things
In a different light
[Voice over: John Watson- "That was amazing!"]
When the light turns dark
And I can't find my way
When I'm falling down
Will you take my hand, tonight?
Show me the right way
Show me the right way to go
Show me the right way to go and
I'll meet you there
[voice over: Sherlock- "Come on, John"]
My guiding light
Back on my feet again
Where you're taking me
Is still a mystery
I'm never looking back
Cos what I left was only
Gonna drag me down
Show me the right way
Show me the right way to go
Show me the right way to go and
I'll meet you
My guiding light
