Vid Rec: Everything at Once
Title: Everything at Once - Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett)
Music Title & Artist: "Everything at Once" by Lenka
Vidder: XLadyClaireX
Pairing or Character: Sherlock Holmes
Verse: Granada
Link: I was not able to find an announcement page on LJ or dreamwidth, so I am including the YouTube link here: Everything at Once vid
Reccer's Comments: This is such a playful, light-hearted vid that it seemed perfect to ring in the new year. I really enjoy the matching of lyrics and images in this creation, particularly because the unusual and evocative similes in the song -- "as neat as a word," "as cool as a tree," "as light as play," "as grand as a whale" -- inspired the vidder to find some hilariously appropriate visual matches and to utilize a lot of shots that I have rarely seen in other vids.
The theme of the song and the vid -- that here we have a character who contains multitudes -- becomes a delightful celebration of Jeremy Brett's endlessly expressive, groundbreaking portrayal of a character who was so often previously imagined as rather a cold fish. Here, instead, we see the whirlwind of emotions and possibilities that Sherlock Holmes can contain.
Plus, it's just fun :)
