Sherlock, Mind Palace Editing

Sherlock one of the most popular TV series in the world uses a range of camera and editing effects.


One effect used is Motion Tracking.  According to the website "Quora" these techniques could have been done by using "Subtle motion tracking markers" and "a composting tool like After Effects" to track the markers to "create a movement path which corresponds to the movement of the marker on the screen."

This effect has been used in nearly every episode including "The Hounds of Baskerville", A Scandal in Belgravia and "The Sign of Three".





There is also another technique used called The Bullet Time Effect.


This effect was used in the episode "The Sign of Three" to represent the pictures being taken at their wedding.
