Vid Rec: Arrival of the Birds
Title: Arrival of the Birds
Music Title & Artist: "Arrival of the Birds" by The Cinematic Orchestra
Vidder: amyyam on tumblr, aka Amy Kinley
Pairing or Character: Sherlock + John
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Link: Arrival of the Birds on vidder's tumblr page
Reccer's Comments: I am always struck by the sheer visual beauty of this vid. It is delicate and lovely. At times images of John and Sherlock are overlaid on top of each other in interesting configurations; at other times the vid glides between color and black and white, and there is just something about the light in these shots that seems to linger. The vidder juxtaposes material brilliantly (in the first few seconds we hear Mycroft ask "How many friends do you imagine he has?" while we see the wild moors and stormy skies of Baskerville, its rusty, barbed "KEEP OUT" sign juxtaposed with Sherlock's backlit face). The instrumental music and carefully extracted dialogue work with the visuals to build up a portrait of Sherlock's unspoken but overwhelming connection with John, so that when we reach the final question - "What might we deduce about his heart?" - we realize that the images have already silently answered.
This is a really lovely work of art.
