Why this must be watched:

There are so many talented vidders in the Sherlock fandom it's very hard to pick one. Beadedstar is one of the best and, happily for us, prolific too. She uses a wide variety of music, overlaid images, and incredible timing to great effect. I picked this one because Swan Lake is not the kind of music that usually comes to mind when thinking fanvids but it works so well here. I feel like my heart skips a beat at several points. Beadedstar layers images and emotions beautifully, builds to a shocking moment and then leaves me holding my breath. Incredible!

I was already subscribed to Beadedstar, but hadn't seen this one yet. AMAZING! The quiet, sparse arrangement of the music paired with the black and white of the gorgeous video is perfect. There is a moment when Sherlock shoulders his way through a door that is paired with a chord in the music and it looks completely organic, like his action caused the sound. Just beautiful. She's one of the best vidders I've ever seen in any fandom.

You are so right. Another one of my favorites is "(Reichenbach Remix) Moriarty + Sherlock - ♪ 'SAIL'." Totally different feel. Thanks for commenting. I subscribed to her too.

I love the way the images and music alternately sweep around the lab and then still, holding a note, between approximately 0:43 and 0:53.
