Video: Benedict Cumberbatch...and a bit of Sherlock, too!

I'm struggling to make a Sherlock vid just now. And let me tell you it is a struggle. The style of the show...and my song choice...are making it very hard on me. I've decided I want to do a vid that captures the essence of Sherlock (the show and the man), rather than tell a story. But I'm afraid I get distracted by my need to tell a story.

So, I went out on the interwebs to look for other Sherlock vids and I found this one by [livejournal.com profile] stolensmile14. It's a photo study vid of Benedict C. and the cuts on the beat put me to shame. Except...maybe that's WHY it is a slideshow. It is very hard to capture Sherlock, the show, with super fast cuts, in my opinion. Or at least it is at my level of vidding development.

This is for those of you who must wait until October for the PBS airing...take a look under this cut...you won't be spoiled...or disappointed. I wouldn't exactly call Benedict beautiful, but his Sherlock is.

who can see the sexy in Benedict that I completely miss in Matt Smith. BTW, you can see another side to Sherlock and give Stolensmile14 some love at this link...http://stolensmile14.livejournal.com/18470.html

You know, I feel the same way. I look at random pictures of Benedict and nothing. But you put the man in action, and then there's the timbre of his voice, and magic happens. I can see why the lab tech has a crush on him. I have a bit of one myself! I hate hate hate that we've gotten all there is for now and I don't have another 90 minutes to wallow in tomorrow.

Truly, this man should have been Eleven.
