My videos...

Hey!

I'm editing this 1st post to put all my vids in one single post (so that people don't have to scrowl down to see the newest vid hehe) So, the first vid is my lastest one and the last one (boys don't cry) is the first one i'd ever made. I hope I kinda improved between the two, lol. (you can find a better description of each video when you scrowl down this thread)

THE GHOST OF MY BEST FRIEND [TRAILER]





CRACK VID - MYCROFT UPSETS MUMMY




MYCROFT AND SHERLOCK - HEART AND SHOULDER






SHERLOCK SILENT FILM - THERE'S AN EAST WIND COMING




MYCROFT - LOVE OF THE LOVELESS
(apparently not visible on phones and all)




JOHNLOCK - I TRY TO SAY GOODBYE




SHERLOCK - I AM NOT A ROBOT




THIRD STAR - SING ME TO SLEEP (Yeah, I know, not Sherlock, but still! )




JOHN WATSON - MY LIFE WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES (apparently not avalaible for Germany and for phones and all)



*******************************************************************
(original post)

LESTRADE vs SHERLOCK/JOHN: UNREQUITED LOVE

The man fascinates him. Lestrade's been secretly in love with Sherlock for years. And even if he realises Sherlock loves someone else and that his "chances are few", he decides to confess his love ...

I am not a Sherlock/Lestrade shipper (I do ship Johnlock though, hehe), nor do I think it is a possibility that Lestrade loves Sherlock, but truth is that I love this song, wanted to make a Johnlock video using it, and immediately thought of Lestrade (though Molly could have done the trick as well!) so here you are!

Song: That look you give that guy, by EELS. Lyrics are in the description under the video.





SHERLOCK/JOHN : BOYS DON'T CRY

John still loves Sherlock, but the latter took him for granted, and catching Sherlock flirting with Irene Adler was the final straw. John leaves, Sherlock pretends to be fine but he  just can't imagine living without him...

Song: Boys don't cry, by The Cure. Lyrics are in the description under the video.

Re: My videos...

Wow, this is beautiful. You use the lyrics to emphasise the images very well.  BTW, Rupert is a good-looking man and has always been. Check out "Maurice".

Re: My videos...

Very beautiful indeed. Well done! 

Brings a certain truth back to my mind: "Is that why you're calling yourself Greg?"
What a poor guy, Lestrade

Re: My videos...

Thanks I'm glad you like it, and I'm even happier if you think the lyrics and images fit well That's what takes me the most of time because I have to think about which scene could perfectly fit to the words and then makes not too long not too short, just in time with the words. Oh, and when I watched the result, I almost felt pity for poor Greg!

And yeah, you're right Rupert's quite a hottie. I think each character's (well, actor! but I'm talking "globally" here in Sherlock)  got (physically) a certain something (when they're not totally hot like benedict, hehe!), even Moriarty and Mycroft. Oh, and John is SO charming.

I haven't seen Maurice and don't know what it is about, but when I browsed through youtube to find things which could have been useful for my video (that's where I found "Take a girl like you" and cut scenes that could interest me. Actually used a few in this vid), I saw one from Maurice in which Rupert was this a guy and, well... It looked like very interesting

I'm thinking about doing a new video a little funnier (well, not a hilarious crack vid, just a more light-hearted one because those two were kinda sad) about Sherlock and John, using A Hard day's night by the Beatles. Ideas so far:
"You know I work all day" >> showing John sleeping at work
"To get you money to buy you things" >> showing John taking the cheque Sherlock has just refused in The Blind Banker.
"But when I get home to you, I'll find the things that you will make me feel alright" >> first, I'd use the scene of the head in the fridge, and then I'd use the moment Sherlock shoots at the wall.

Anyway, like I said in the description, I don't ship Sherlock/Lestrade, but making this video made me feel like writing a fic about Lestrade. I already have a couple of ideas in mind. So next fic's gonna be Lestrade "addressing" to Sherlock after RBF. He believes him dead and opens his heart, says how much he hated him (for obvious reasons. Mostly because Sherlock made him question his whole professionnal life) but also how much he admired and loved him too (for less obvious reasons) even though he'd have never admitted it. How he doesn't want to believe Sherlock was a fake too. Can't wait to write!




EDIT: Thank you too, Harriet!

Re: My videos...

Looking forward to see more videos from you. 

As for "Maurice", it's a beautiful film about (male) love in the early 20th century with James Wilby, Rupert and Hugh Grant, based on a novel by E.M. Forster. I just ordered the DVD as it's years that I've seen it.

Re: My videos...

Thanks Davina And I like Rupert's eyes.

@susi: Yeah, I figured out while watching the scene I mentioned earlier that it was indeed male love  hence why I said I found the scene well, very interesting hehe! But if the story's any good, then that's great bonus!

I'll try to see this!

Re: My videos...

Well, I don't know if I can post these here as these are not Sherlock fanvids, but then I don't know in which part of the forum I should post them. Oh, well, if there's any problem with this, just tell me.

Here's just a scene I cut from Stuart a life backwards because I found it sweet and couldn't find it on Youtube. It shows Benedict and Tom singing along to "You're gorgeous", by Babybird.





And this one's got nothing to do with Benedict or anything, it's just a tribute to my husband.

Re: My videos...

It seems he was both a very beautiful guy and a loving dad.
This video once more makes me sad with you...
A very tender and touching work of yours.

Re: My videos...

A very warm and heartfelt video. It's good to see that in spite of everything that happened he could feel joy when being with your son and that you have these memories for both of you. And the quotes from Le Petit Prince are beautifully chosen.

Re: My videos...

Aww... thank you all, it means a lot

@Mary: you're kidding me! Your French is great! I was surprised to read your answer in my language, I wish I could do the same in German, aber mein Deutsch ist miserabel

@susi: well, most of the clips with him and our son were before his depression and all his suicide attempts. He already had his paranoid illness though (since childhood) only we didn't know it was an illness at that time. And Le Petit Prince is one of my favourite books, and I thought those words were beautiful. Plus my son refers to his dad as "papa étoile" (star daddy) and asks me to show him the sky before going to bed, and he's like "Mummy, look at that star there! It's really shiny! Maybe it's daddy! Goodnight daddy!" so I thought St Exupéry words were even more appropriate...

Thanks again to the three of you!

Re: My videos...

I've made a new Sherlock vid but I don't know, it says it's not avalaible for Germany due to copyrights. Why Germany? No idea. (oh, and for mobile phones as well... Grrrrr....)

Anyway, here it is (once again, I paid very much attention to the lyrics I chose, to make them fit each extract), it's done as if it was a kind of book John would have written...

"My life with Sherlock Holmes, by John Watson"




"John reflects on his life with Sherlock. No copyright infringement intended.

SONGS:

SHERLOCK THEME


LEMON TREE (FOOL'S GARDEN)
I'm sitting here in a boring room,
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon,
I'm wasting my time, I've got nothing to do.
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you,
But nothing ever happens,
And I wonder.

CLAIRE (GILBERT O'SULLIVAN)
The moment I met you I swear
I felt as if something somewhere
Had happened to me
Which I couldn't see.
And then, the moment I met you again,
I knew in my heart that we were friends,
It had to be so,
It couldn't be no.

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (THE REMBRANDTS)
I'll be there for you,
When the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you,
Like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you,
Cos you're there for me too.

No one could ever know me,
No one could ever see me.
Seems like you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me.

Someone to face the day with,
To make it through all the rest with.
Someone I'll always laugh with,
Even at my worst I'm best with you.

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (THE BEATLES)
It's been a hard day's night,
And I've been working like a dog,
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log.

But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do,
Will make me feel alright.

I AM NOT A ROBOT (MARINA & THE DIAMONDS)
You've been acting awful tough lately,
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately,
But Inside you're just a little baby.

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot,
You can't always be on top,
Better to be hated than loved, loved, loved for what you're not.

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable,
You are not a robot,
You're lovable, you're lovable.
But you're just troubled.

HEART OF MINE (PETER SALETT)
You're still a mystery,
But there's something so easy,
In how you're sweet to me,
I feel completed like
Something I needed
For this heart of mine.

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT (THE SMITHS)
And if a double-decker bus,
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die.

FALLING SLOWLY (GLEN HANSART)
Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing it loud.

IN MY LIFE (THE BEATLES)
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life, I love you more.

I MISS YOU (BLINK 182)

Thanks for watching! "

Re: My videos...

Here's a new one I've just made on Third Star. (spoilers, beware)

I really put much effort into this, to choose which clips to use, how to string them together "smoothly" (choice of colours, landscapes...), how to fit the song, the lyrics, of course, but also what you can hear in that song (i.e: you can hear the wind blowing and I've put the scene of a seagull for example). I also tried to give an all symbolism, i.e at the end, when after he drowns, I used the scene with him catching a feather to show he is now relieved from pain and as light as a feather, ready to fly away, then I used the wild horses scene to symbolise freedom. Get the idea?

Well, if you want, just see for yourself!




And here are the lyrics to the song, Asleep by the Smiths, I think it really fits the story:

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go


Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore


Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore


Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go


There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well ...


Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye ...

Re: My videos...

Other videos I've made:

I TRY TO SAY GOODBYE [JOHNLOCK]




Two years away made Sherlock realise that his "world crumbles when John is not near." He intends to tell him but their reunion doesn't turn out exactly as he had expected. John has moved on with his life. And when he gets married, there's nothing Sherlock can do but hide his pain... "You look sad when you think he can't see you"...

After years of denial, John misses his previous life and finally faces reality: he is in love with Sherlock. But before he gets a chance to tell Sherlock, the detective is shot. He spends three weeks in an artificial coma before being pronounced brain-dead and the doctors stop all the machines. John has to whisper his last goodbye...

Contains clips from Season 3.
I obviously do not own Sherlock nor the song. No copyrights infringement intended.

I TRY (Macy Gray)

Games, changes and fears
 When will they go from here
 When will they stop
 I believe that fate has brought us here
 And we should be together, babe
 But we're not
 I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
 I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning

 I try to say goodbye and I choke
 Try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near
 Goodbye and I choke
 I try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near

 I may appear to be free
 But I'm just a prisoner of your love
 And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
 But my smiles are just a front
 Just a front, hey
 I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
 I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning

 I try to say goodbye and I choke
 Try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near
 Goodbye and I choke
 I try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near

 Here is my confession
 May I be your possession
 Boy, I need your touch
 Your love kisses and such
 With all my might I try
 But this I can't deny
 Deny

 I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
 (but I'm dreaming of you babe)
 I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning

 I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
 Try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near
 Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 I try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, hey)
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear (sick of love)
 My world crumbles when you are not near (your love, kisses and)

 Goodbye and I choke (I'm choking)
 I try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near


SHERLOCK - I AM NOT A ROBOT




Ok, I know this song has been used many times for Sherlock, yet I wanted to have a go myself. Beware, this contains many clips from Season 3. I wanted to show how much Sherlock has changed from the first episode. All this, thanks to John. I can hardly see how he can still call himself a "High functioning sociopath"... Anyway, the more he opens up, the more he gets hurt. Caring is not an advantage, Mycroft would say. I felt so sad for him through the three épisodes...

Song: I am not a robot (Marina and the diamonds)
No copyright infringement intended.
Lyrics:

You've been acting awful tough lately
 Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
 But inside, you're just a little baby
 It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
 You don't always have to be on top
 Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not

 You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
 You are not a robot
 You're loveable, so loveable
 But you're just troubled

 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

You've been hanging with the unloved kids
 Who you never really liked and you never trusted
 But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
 Never committing to anything
 You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
 Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing

 I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
 I am not a robot
 You're loveable, so loveable
 But you're just troubled

 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

 Can you teach me how to feel real?
 Can you turn my power on?
 Well, let the drum beat drop

 Guess what? I'm not a robot
 Guess what? I'm not a robot

 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
 Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

MYCROFT - LOVE OF THE LOVELESS




Just because I can never get enough of Mycroft...

Love of the loveless (EELS)

Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless

Don't have too many friends
Never felt at home
Always been my own man
Pretty much alone
I know how to get through
And when push comes to shove
I got something that you need
I got the love
Love of the loveless

All around you people walking
Empty hearts and voices talking
Looking for and finding
Nothing

Don't got a lot of time
Don't really care
Not selling anything
Buyer beware
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless

Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
Love of the loveless 


Of course, no copyright infringement is intended. I own nothing.

Re: My videos...

Latest vid:

SHERLOCK SILENT FILM - THERE'S AN EAST WIND COMING

The story basically follows the show's plot until John and Mary wedding. Sherlock leaves the party early. He is so desperate he goes to a bar, gets drunk, gets in a fight and ends up in a drug den. The following day, John comes into the drug den to help his young neighbour Isaac and falls face to face with Sherlock. He takes him back to Baker Street where they have an argument, and John leaves. Later, Sherlock receives a strange text from Mary asking him to meet her at Magnussen's office. There, she tells him she has discovered he knew all about her secret past life and fake identity. She is so afraid John learns about her secret too that she shoots Sherlock. John, who had followed his friend, arrives a tad too late and Sherlock dies in hospital...

(and yes, i know my piano cover at the end sucks! )

Re: My videos...

Here are two new videos I've made (i've added them to the original message but here are the descriptions)  Watch in HD!

CRACK VID - MYCROFT UPSETS MUMMY.

My (crack) explanation of how Mycroft has upset Mummy, like Sherlock says in A study in pink. This is just for fun. No offence meant !! Clips are from Sherlock and The League Of Gentlemen:




MYCROFT AND SHERLOCK - HEART AND SHOULDER

I wanted to show how much Mycroft cared about his brother. How much he wants to protect him, "save" him, but realises that no matter how hard he tries, only John can bring Sherlock back to joy. I thought the lyrics suited him well (song by Heather Nova)

Wanna cry for you
 Would it do any good?
 If I rained for you
 It would just be water
 And the night's with you
 And the storm's in your hand
 And you're down and you're down
 And I can't lift you

 I'm powerless to change your world
 I'm powerless to stop the hurt

[chorus]
 I'll give you my heart, give you my shoulder
 Give you my heart, give you my shoulder

 Wanna run for you
 Would it do any good?
 If I flew for you
 You would still be standing
 And it's hard watching
 'cause I'm part of you
 And it's hard not to
 Not to know what I can do

 I'm powerless to change your world
 I'm powerless to stop the hurt
 I'm trying hard to be your tower of strength
 I'm trying hard to bring you back to joy

[chorus]

 When the night just cuts you through
 And the dream is lost to you
 When you're worried and confused
 I will give you my heart give you my shoulder

Re: My videos...

Another one!

Basically, this one was made mostly to get more used to Vegas Pro 12. I wanted to make a Sherlock vid "trailer" like vid. It obviously has some flaws though I personally like the way the part about John telling Sherlock he is getting married turned out...

Please, do not pay attention to the couple of awkward transitions, nor to the weird voice I used for the voice over (I used a "type and hear" website)

Songs used:
The midnight choir (The Thrills)
Lost (Junjou Romantica OST)
Turn to earth (The Yardbirds)
Ceremony (New order)

THE GHOST OF MY BEST FRIEND [TRAILER]
