He’s back … each and every one of him.
Starring David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, Peter Davison, Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton, and William Hartnell as The Doctor.
Someone is meddling with the fabric of space and time. The Doctor’s time stream has folded back on itself, and he is surprised to find himself face to face with his previous incarnations.
Rose has met a mysterious man claiming to be The Doctor, who takes her back to our dimension. Meanwhile, the Ninth Doctor must travel back in time to meet his first incarnation to find a solution to this problem. As our world faces total destruction, Captain Jack teams up with the second and third Doctors, and … well, it’s all just a big mess.
I did this for fun last night, and it actually didn’t take that long. I think I’ll keep adding to it over time.
Yes, for those playing along at home, the idea is to make a trailer in which all the various incarnations of Doctor Who (and companions) interact.
Doctors 4, 5 and 6 are severely underrepresented in this trailer, I know … technically they’re in there (voice or image). I’ll get round to them. The thing is, I don’t really own any classic Doctor Who on DVD; I have to rent it. I had rented the Paul McGann movie, and I decided to give it a try, but I only had Eccleston and McGann in DVD quality … anything else I had to get from rather poor quality AVIs. (Even David Tennant, who I don’t have on DVD yet - if anyone can oblige there let me know).
So this is just one night’s work. I’ll rent a few stories from the classic Doctors and add more shots.
I haven’t even used anything from The Five Doctors yet.
If you’d like to play along at home (because this is a lot of fun to do, creating these shots), I’m doing them in PAL, 740x576 anamorphic widescreen, using the PhotoJPEG codec (I’m using Final Cut Pro, myself). Feel free to create your own shots and submit them for this project.
As you can tell from this trailer, the easiest shots to join together are those where The Doctor is on a solid background, usually black. If you can composite him out with Chromakey, you’ve got a shot.
I’m very grateful to Babel Fish’s colorized versions of scenes from the Hartnell and Troughton years. I’m surprised I haven’t had to use anything in black and white yet.
Anyway, enjoy the trailer.
