Sherlock & Watson - "It's Probably Me"

Focusing on the friendship between Holmes & Watson. I understand that a lot of people do not care for slide-shows, and I have not made one in quite a while, but I have very good reasons for doing it this time out (well, good reasons in my mind, anyway). First, I really wanted to make a Holmes/Watson video with this song, and at the moment, since the movie is not out on DVD yet, I did not have enough clips to make a decent video with actual video. Second, sometimes, a still photo can tell you so much more than a moving picture -- you can focus for a long while on the touch of a hand, the sweat on a brow, or the worry in a person's eyes. I may remake this when the DVD comes out, but I am actually pretty happy with it the way it is. Since I didn't have very much room at the start of the video, I had to condense the passage that I quoted from "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" - here it is in full, from just after the point where the gun is fired: -- I felt a sudden hot sear as if a red-hot iron had been pressed to my thigh. There was a crash as Holmes's pistol came down on the man's head. I had a vision of him sprawling upon the floor with blood running down his face while Holmes rummaged him for weapons. Then my friend's wiry arms were round me, and he was leading me to a chair. "You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake, say that you are not hurt!" It was worth a wound - it was worth many wounds - to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation. "It's nothing, Holmes. It's a mere scratch." He had ripped up my trousers with his pocket-knife. "You are right," he cried with an immense sigh of relief. "It is quite superficial." His face set like flint as he glared at our prisoner, who was sitting up with a dazed face. "By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive. Now, sir, what have you to say for yourself?"
