Vidder's Notes: This vid is dedicated to katieforsythe, about whom I feel along the lines of how bookshop does. Not that I think that this vid approaches anywhere near the magnificence of Katie's fics, but damn, she makes the schmangst cool, y'all.

Thanks to loveleedunk for the icon.

OMG, you made this video. I knew someone would make this video. More coherent comments when I've actually watched the video...maybe.

OMG, you made this video

LOL. I totally did. Hope you enjoy it!

I loved that one! My two favorite things were how you totally changed the tone of some of their facial expressions (making them more wistful/melancholy) just by adding the music. I also loved how you used the credits. It worked so well with the music. Just wonderful!

Ah, thanks! That's one of the best things about vidding: manipulating the connection between the visual and aural.

Man, those credits were pure eye candy. I'm so glad I was able to work them in.

Hey, I really liked this, especially the ending, where the sepia illustrations took it back to the world of Katie's fics, and sort of made it back about the relationship we can't see (on screen, in canon pages), and the way she overlays the music of love and longing onto the familiar bodies to make them aching and hurting in a way we don't get to see, but we know exists.
I really like what you do with the exchange of glances, too.

Yes, exactly! I wanted to pull the viewer back to the idea of the books as the text source, so that the "book of love will let us in" line would have a broader application. That's what I think Katie does: she opens up the canon source for us, and gives us the love stories that we want, and that Conan Doyle could never, ever show explicitly in the text at the time that he was writing.

Thank you! The heated exchange of glances is one of the main tools in my slash kit. :)

Hilarious, yet brilliantly rendered. I have a lot of love for this one! ♥

Thank you! I still get embarrassed giggles over this vid sometimes--it's so incredibly earnest and heartfelt. I really meant it! :)
