Vid Title: (22)1BR/1BA
Vidder:[personal profile] purplefringe 
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Summary: Watson character study
Reccer's Comments: A truly lovely vid that deftly uses shots of Watson from throughout the series to explore his reaction to Sherlock's death.  Wonderful musicality, excellent pacing, and makes great use of Martin Freeman's acting and the show's cinematography.

I love that vid. Does a beautiful job repurposing all these shots which in their original contexts were often sandwiched between corresponding shots of Sherlock. (Just out of the frame, on the other side of the room, about to enter...) But as used here, it just highlights Sherlock's absence. I keep waiting for the camera to cut to Sherlock, and it never does. After a while, I am wound up tight waiting for the camera cut that never, ever comes.
