Sherlock - How Creative Transitions Improve Storytelling

I tried to breakdown as many scenes as possible, even though the show is quite long. I hope you enjoy it, and learn something from it.
If you never heard about, this is the Nerdwritter:
• Sherlock: How To Film ...
In it you can see a breakdown from what probably is the best episode in the series. He has lots of other videos, so you should go and check it out.

"All car scenes are taken from outside of the car when they discussed about case.." that was amazing.

Abhisheksingh Bhadauria Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment, I really apreciate it. I just want to know: where did you find out about this video? I really enjoyed making this one, and it would be nice to share my content directly to the groups that like it too. Thanks

[@iamabhi223]

Konrad Schmitz this was suggested by you tube.. great work man!😎

[@pedrocoimbra3417]

Nice! Agree with you 100%. Sherlock is creative storytelling at its finest. How to tell a story we already know? How to engage audience in more than a mystery? How to engage audience into telling the story of solving a mystery. Loved it. Cheers

[@konradnoises]

[@adamp8761]

Konrad Schmitz i know the question was not adresses to me but i just stumped on this video because of KZbin recommended videos and i got to say i really appreciate your work put into this video and very informative and interwsting aproach. I'm definitely going to check your other videos. Cheers, Adam

[@WindiaNata]

this is why i love bbc sherlock holmes.

[@sweetcheey]

nice video, im an editor tbh i didnt realize how detail they put into sherlock transition, probably because its just so pleasing for me to dive into the story and enjoying the show lol

[@kannana5991]

Ukii Yuuki , Hi I would like to know how to get great sense of Editing as a director coz I'm very serious about becoming a film director... kindly share where to learn things...

[@rhamo100]

Hey Ukii, May I know how did they edit the food plate sequence #4:09. Is it time lapse effect? But I am confused as the camera seems to be moving/sliding and how did they achieved the effects. Thankyou

[@sweetcheey]

​@@rhamo100 i think it's more like an execution of a fast forward on a jump cuts edited footage and the camera movement on the original footage probably sliding very slow that is why it does't feel that rough even after the jump cuts applied result in a "violence" shot with a smooth camera movement

[@sweetcheey]

@@kannana5991 lot of edit, lot of watching.. by watching i mean every element in the footage that you are going to edit , The setting, The characters, their emotion, their eye, their movement.. if you want a book i recommend cutting rhythms by Karen Pearlman

[@meowd2506]

This was extremely informative , as a teen who just loves binge watching shows , I never thought about the importance of transitions or other effects , it really changes my perspective and well , nothing can make me feel disappointed about Sherlock , it is the still one of the best TV series I've ever seen

[@dylanflow3154]

Thus is why Sherlock Holmes makes the perfect Dr Strange

[@elishabatuncang8391]

Thank you for this very informative breakdown of the transitions used ☺️🙏🏻

[@youthanek]

can someone please advise me. is it true that video editing is all about transition and thats it! i do many nice transitions and i can consider myself a world class video editor. is it something like that

[@elishabatuncang8391]

It's all about stories. Transition helps to connect clip A and clip B

This is how you analyse a movie!!! Not how we have done it in school...

[@xnic99]

Konrad Schmitz a friend of mine recommended it, so nothing you can about that, please don't go ahead and say: "share, like, subscribe" that makes every video seem unprofessional, if i know a guy who likes that stuff i'm gonna share great content anyway, hope i could help you

[@konradnoises]

Nicolas Benzing thanks a lot for your reply. I agree and I'll try to make more like this soon.

[@NateSocrates]

This is so great - it reminded me of a Nerdwriter breakdown!

[@konradnoises]

[@NoahHuberFeely]

Konrad Schmitz A bit late, but I'm a Nerdwriter fan and KZbin popped this up in my feed today, as their algorithm likely determined this was compatible with my tastes, but not sure how common this automatic recommendation was in your view count. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@konradnoises]

I am a huge nerdwritter's fan as well. Thanks a lot for the reply, I love every word you guys write me.

[@PaolaEnergya]

Excellent analysis Konrad, worthy of Sherlock Holmes himself!

[@N_T_C]

Hey hi . U WILL NOT BELIEVE ME ! This lockdown made to watch many web series .. So came across Sherlock . At first I thought of the same thing as u did . The length of the episode. Eventhough I gave a try. And by the end I was more attracted to THE TRANSITIONS !! And from yesterday I was searching all over the net to learn about the transition ..and just now KZbin brought me to Ur video. And it's wow !! U have upload it 3 yrs back and now am watching ...

[@scotchbonnie4122]

one of my favourite shows and i've never witnessed it like this. Thank you

[@konradnoises]

[@18da18]

Man it's such a blessing that you exist! I'm very into all the various methods of visual storytelling, film, design etc. and often my fascination with such details and craft seems misplaced as if I start rambling about it... well you know for sure what I mean :) I've been wanting to start writing or talking somewhere about it, because I couldn't find too many of these things well made and because it's good to channel the nerd I guess. But it's amazing and inspiring to see someone else with a broad view on visual communication and beyond visual, thanks for the effort you put into this!

[@konradnoises]

Oni Berugu Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment, I really apreciate it. I just want to know: where did you find out about this video? I really enjoyed making this one, and it would be nice to share my content directly to the groups that like it too. Thanks

[@18da18]

Cool man, thanks for the response! I've been binging videos about editing / post production and transitions in particular, and soon enough this video came as recommended - so I guess you're already doing it right with the tags and/or categories. Good luck!

[@kannana5991]

Oni Berugu , Hi I would like to know how to get great sense of Editing as a director coz I'm very serious about becoming a film director... kindly share where to learn things...

[@18da18]

Kannan A on KZbin it would be every frame a painting, nerdwriter and a few more; but mostly observe and notice what you like, understand what makes it so through analysis or emulation and mostly - practice, practice, practice. Really no other way than to see for yourself and get feedback of others. To most it should be seamless when they watch - in most cases if they can notice the transition then it’s not good. I’ve spent countless hours editing commercials for advertising working quite simple transistions to near perfection; then I’d move on to more experimental and sometimes not seamless stuff. I’d recommend first practicing simple, getting confident with those.

[@18da18]

Kannan A if you want some more specific practical tips dm me

[@raduantoniu]

Wow I'm amazed to see you have so few subscribers. Maybe this video will blow up :D Keep up the awesome work!

[@giovanniduenas5206]

Radu the goat!!!

[@obiwans]

I agree! sherlock is my absolute favorite show, and the transitions are truly amazing. My favorite is probably when he ducks down and it transitions to the car with the driver.

[@raeeznjr4218]

When i watched this series i wasn't that big into transitions and cinematography. Now that I'm staring at cinematography and editing i can't wait to watch the whole series again.. Thank you for this video btw 🙏🏼

[@konradnoises]

Thank you for supporting! I'm trying to post regularly, so please check my latest videos and let me know what you think. Peace

[@gitadine]

OK this is amazing! I've noticed how pleasant the transitions are and how much I like them, but I never quite understood why. Now I do. More people need to discover your channel, man.

[@ShreyanshJindal]

You missed the transition effect used in last season. The one where he is with drug dealer in middle of street then to his room.

[@konradnoises]

Shreyansh Jindal Yes indeed. I decided not t include that one, because it would take to long just to explaine it, and a guy that I respect a lot, already did it; you can see it in the "nerdwritter" channel. Please check it :D

[@dishachakraborty5854]

Even a lay man like myself who knows nothing about transitioning and the skills required was completely smitten with it! Mu favourite transition is in S2 E1, when sherlock is seemingly thrown into bed directly from the crime scene. The bed moving upwards was just marvellous. I should like to say, BBC sherlock is the best series ever produced till date :) Great video!

[@konradnoises]

It is great show indeed. Thank you for supporting! Please check my latest videos and let me know what you think. Peace

[@baddiecentral22]

great job! just 20 seconds in I knew it was going to be good

[@konradnoises]

omgzac Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment, I really apreciate it. I just want to know: where did you find out about this video? I really enjoyed making this one, and it would be nice to share my content directly to the groups that like it too. Thanks

[@deus_ex_machina_]

konradnoises not OP, but it showed up in my recommendations. I tend to watch the likes of EFAP, Nerdwriter, LFTS, etc. I also watch video essays about games sometimes, apart from a lot of tech and gaming content. I don't know if this helps, but I already typed it so...

[@hendygeek]

i searched for sherlock holmes and your video showed up :)

[@brainworms8182]

I wanna rewatch Sherlock now just so I can pay attention to the transitions

[@Amyperez7]

I was looking for the names of the transitions I want to use on a script I'm working on and I stumble upon this... which is just what I had in mind. This is brilliant! Genius!

[@peterjoyfilms]

Much as there is reason to criticise season 4 of Sherlock, in terms of visual storytelling it's rly masterful

[@jadeisunderage4686]

Is no one gonna talk about how beautiful this mans accent is. Great video by the way!

[@jadevictoriafilm4722]

This is my favorite show and somehow I never really took it and analysed it. I'm so glad someone made this video, there really are so many great and creative elements that make-up this incredible series.

[@redpeacoat7213]

This was awesome! I think you really hit it on the head with the entire series being filtered through John Watson's point of view as a storyteller. I think this will be further explored in the final series, whenever that happens!

[@tabearoe]

god i love sherlock. Really love the transition breakdown you did. Made me realize a lot of things I didn't notice before

[@amitkrupal1234]

Awesomeeeeee, I always wondered Why I use to watch those Sherlock Holmes episode with such an attention even if they were so long. My mind loved those episodes. Now you just revealed those information. Once you learn something new, you automatically keep using that knowledge. Now I going to watch my favorite movies once again but now with lot of attention. To findout why I like them the most.

[@itschrissspy]

yup. same thing happened to me. after the first episode i got hooked. i got *Sherlocked* .

[@HunterPanoch]

I have adored this show since I was very little. I recently finally got to go to London and visit the museum at 221b Baker Street and do all the touristy stuff. I am now a film major nearly a decade older than when I first found this amazing show. Stumbling across this random video when looking for transition ideas for a short film I was thinking about writing. These two parts of my life in context with each other made me fall in love with this show all over again. I know this is an older vid, but thank you for this!

[@katharinekavanagh8749]

Hey I absolutely love this video, I’m a film and media student in college and I was really struggling with transitions but this really helped, i was researching videos explaining transitions and I came across this, so glad this is really good. Subscribed 😊😊

[@konradnoises]

katharine kavanagh awesome to read this! Thanks a lot!

[@John-hc2tj]

Awesome video man. Transitions are my favorite thing to watch for in movies right now. I really like how you related this to story telling. It is way more than just a way in which to be artsy, it enhances the storyline. Awesome work!

[@miramineko5208]

I know right!!!!! i was just mesmerized by each time by the transition. well, I'm gonna subscribe because the matter of "transition" is really lacking subject on the internet. Good content!

[@konradnoises]

Mira Mineko Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment, I really apreciate it. I just want to know: where did you find out about this video? I really enjoyed making this one, and it would be nice to share my content directly to the groups that like it too. Thanks

[@SomeStrangemysterious]

You’re very articulate and analytical in the way you think and communicate information. I would watch these scenes and probably never give two cents to what just happened or why it did. Perhaps that’s the intention of the producers and editors to make it flow and be seamless for the viewers, but I thinks it’s more that I’m just not that deep. I’m simple.

[@konradnoises]

Thank you for supporting! I'm trying to post regularly, so please check my latest videos and let me know what you think. Peace

[@iamadreamerr6885]

That was a very interesting video. Thank you!! That's one of the strenght of this serie. Now it's not gonna change my point of view on season 4, but honestly, they make a very great effort in the graphics and images, and I love that. Very satisfying.

[@alasugunseli1801]

Your editing is so fun to watch

[@SamiJumppanen]

This is awesome! And seeing the clips now bring feelings from watching the episodes. So dense production on many levels. TV is not stupid anymore. Anyway, in some comment you asked how this video was found. This has never happened before, but the two videos I've now watched in my current KZbin watching session, both were something I haven't watched recently or won't usually search for. The first one was about making a robot to shoot you in the eye with laser. The common thing was "I don't usually do this kind of..." and that, after you said it in the end, felt quite bizarre and special! I just found these videos, not by searching anything, they were suggested. Thank you for magnificent breakdown! Great stuff.

[@SynysterNick]

I love videos about filmmaking and also Sherlock. Guess that’s why it was suggested to me by KZbin. On another topic, você é brasileiro cara? Foi uma surpresa tão grande ao ver você cantando músicas em português. Por favor faça mais vídeos sobre filmes e séries! Essas análises são uma das melhores coisas pra se assistir no KZbin! Keep up the good work! And more filmmaking videos if you’re really into it!

[@konradnoises]

Nícollas Dias sou sim, mas tento morar fora sempre que posso. Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'll soon be back at my editing station and will share more content!

[@lenagrazhdan27]

I knew that SHERLOCK is a fascinating series, but this is such a fresh view. Thanks for this technical review!!!

[@StefanundLulu]

Omg I LOVE THIS VIDEO! It helped me so much understanding all the transitions. I think I'll include many of them in my videos! :)

[@fabihaazim7663]

my favorite show!!! I've watched the whole series five times through haha. as a film student, it seriously excites me for the future.

[@conversationswithtitoa.3472]

Awesome analysis backed by succinct examples. I'll go and watch Sherlock now...

[@edgarbleikur1929]

Nicely put together konrad

[@rinaldo-rex]

This is my very first comment on KZbin. There are incredibly worthy videos across KZbin that people often don't realize, and this is one such. You sir, have done an excellent job with this analysis and it'd be so wrong of me if I don't appreciate you for it or encourage you for the efforts you've put in. This is quality work. Instead of just pinpointing subjective details, you've done an objective analysis as well, and that which I absolutely loved. I also loved the fact that you wrote, "I hope you enjoy it and learn something from it" I am fan of people who strive to learn something from everything, and this video is an amazing example. Thanks for the time and the effort. Keep up the good work. I learnt and enjoyed as well. :-)

[@konradnoises]

That sort of comment only gives me energy to do it again! I'm finishing another video this very moment, and will upload soon. Thanks for the love!

[@oxarose4998]

I loved the series. And I loved the transitions in the show. And you broke it down so well. Amazing job.

[@Sara-rr9ss]

I always enjoyed the aesthetics of the show but I never quite knew why. Now I know! Great video! I'll definitely be paying more attention to the transitions and sounds now when I rewatch it :D

[@vishwasagarwal8353]

A big thank you for breaking down these transitions.

[@vince1987]

Sherlock has beautiful framing of scenes.

[@konradnoises]

100% true!

[@LivingSpiritism]

I love this video. I've never seen this series before; I was just looking for a lesson about visual storytelling, but now I think I have to watch this show. Your analysis of the transitions and their purpose, the meaning behind them, and what message the director is trying to convey is very astute. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@psanders63]

Oh my gosh I loved the series but I didn't even think about this stuff. I have to go watch series again now, but I'm not complaining. I'll love the show even more.

[@SovereignSt8]

Excellent noises Konrad! Red button smashed

[@heidijohnson9519]

Thank you. I really enjoyed this. It was fun to think about the transitions in isolation. Of course, I've experienced them many times over, been guided by them, had my emotions stirred by them but I've never looked at them as a "thing". I will pay closer attention the next time I go though the series again.

[@pspd40]

Well I also finished watching Sherlock and I am not disappointed a bit. This show is more above than just transition effects. Effects made these series cooler but just effects aren't the only reason that this show gained so much popularity. Great actors, great screenplay, awesome cinematography, great writing all that combines to make a great show and Sherlock series has it all. If you or anyone calls effects are the only reason people watch this then you should check the critics about the Final Problem episode 03 of Season 4, people were quite disappointed with the story but vfx were great.

[@TheGustyAviator]

Amazing analysis of the transitions mate ! After having watched the whole series this video really helped me see those nuances which I had missed. Great work ! Liked :)

[@jockykoh2888]

Finally someone can explain this to me. I alr noticed it at the beginning but i couldn't find a way to tell or explain to myself how did they do it. Thank you

[@noelgarayua8683]

Amazing. Thank you for bring this to KZbin. Wouldn't see it unless you brought this up here. I will definitely use this style to improve my own videos. I actually had use a few of this techniques without noticing
