Doctor Who David Tennant Tom Baker Intro

[bluetennant1998]

Wrong logo.

[sixstanger00]

@bluetennant1998 Tennant intro done like Tom Baker intro....Tom Baker logo..it's the right logo.

[TheEndlessWarlock]

Transition between segments of the theme were pretty blegh, but the idea is interesting, so...

7/10

[davincent98]

Hyperspace sure is weird.

[xGoldenreal]

nah the theme didnt work, here, go find the tom baker intro

[thespiswolf]

VERY well done!

[UDWF1]

MY GOD! If you hadn't have said it was fan-made, I'd have thought it was real!

[sixstanger00]

@UDWF1 Thanks. It was OK. My Matt Smith 80s intro/outro is my best work

[boofdfast]

Get a clue, BBC. That's the way the Doctor Who's intro is SUPPOSED to be... with the Doctor's face in the intro.

[sixstanger00]

@boofdfast I agree. I was watching the X files the other night on netflix, and I realized how elaborate the opening sequences used to be with shows. When I created this animation, I invisioned the opening in phases, 1) the "bars" vortex, 2) the TARDIS vortex with the TARDIS moving towards the screen, 3) then a fade to the cylindrical vortex, then a fade to the Doctor, with a transparent vortex behind him, the Doctor's image inverts, and then the background around him fades to black...

[sixstanger00]

@sixstanger00 ...leaving the approaching vortex in the shape of the Doctor's sillhouette. Which after it overtakes the "camera," becomes a diamond shape to accomodate the trailing logo. My 80s Matt Smith intro is my fav. Check out and comment! :) Thanks!

[jamesbond0078857]

I hear loops in the end

[sixstanger00]

@jamesbond0078857 Yes you do.

[mastrer24]

Ohhh Ohhhh how good was that!

[sixstanger00]

@mastrer24 eh, it was OK considering it was done using Macromedia Flash, but afterwards I realized that the theme is used is incorrect - the one in this vid is Grainer's original which was only used during the Hartnell years. Derbyshire beefed up the bassline and that theme was used from Troughton up to the start of the 80s, when Peter Howell remixed it.

[zeepman]

Normally I hate fan made stuff but this was pretty cool! good job!

[SwordMaster515]

Wow..I'm impressed. very well done, although the music after the logo disappears seems to go stop-start-stop-start, but that's alright. It's brilliant!

[BowTiesRCool]

nice try!!! it loks pretty good

[SVWillmer]

that is good

[deathmetal598]

tom bakers theme and title... cool

[sixstanger00]

@deathmetal598 It's Baker's opening, recreated using Flash, but it isn't his theme. This is the original theme used in Hartnell/Troughton's years.

[MrMatthewMusic]

that is william hartnell's theme tune

[sixstanger00]

@MrMatthewMusic I know. And Patrick Troughtons :D

[MrMatthewMusic]

@sixstanger00 yea

[TheCatapultTV]

@sixstanger00 actually no troughton had a different theme with a doooo-da-deee-deee-doo sound in the background, like with pertwee and tom baker titles

[MrMatthewMusic]

that is william hartnell's theme tune

[anonymuswere]

I think I have an idea for you who intro guys. Has anyone thought of reversing the retro? using the 9/10 "warp gas tunnel" style with the flying text for both the Doctor and primary companion, but using the names and Who badge of the first 3 doctors?

[sixstanger00]

@anonymuswere I have, but I don't Adobe AfterEffects to create it - all of my animations were done in Macromedia Flash MX. However, I expect the lack of "reverse retro" openings is likely because so little would change between the three Doctors' openings other than the text. Interesting idea though...:D

[anonymuswere]

@sixstanger00

buried in my faves is a Who Opening montage of the then 10 doctor's openings (including the US movie) William Heartnell and Patrick Thornton both got adifferent font set for their who logos, and the first half of pertwee's run used a colour version of the first two's before switching to the slow gas tunnel format. it's not THAT un-variety, and would be an easy assembly.

the irony is, the next vid I watched after this WAR a reverse retro for Tom Baker's Doctor :P

[SuperBrad5000]

this was brilliant and very accurate!!!!

[bindiyay]

I like it! Would've been interesting. Maybe this generation of new Whovians - who would only've had access to Classic Who via youtube/DVDs - needed something familiar, modern-looking, to build up a new memory bank. I believe that's why Christopher E was cast first, to give the show "some gravitas". Going retro for S5 will be an awesome move; we probably need the change now.

I am insanely excited about New New Who. Hopefully the regen will have 'cured' the Doctor of his separation pains lol.

[sixstanger00]

I agree - The Moff has already demonstrated that his main focus is on the revealing and gradual solving of in-depth, well written plots. The Moff relies on the overall plotline for character development, which is good, because sometimes it was a bit obvious with RTD that some scenes were written "just for the characters,"....i.e. Wilf & The Doctor in the cafe in EOT.....Wilf & The Doctor sitting on the Vincocci ship.....

[DoctorWhoCenter2010]

You can watch classic episodes on Daily Motion!

:)

[warriorsfan19]

That was brilliant, I think the intros would be better if they showed the picutre of the doctor and their companions rather than the name. at first I couldn't say Freema's last name right until someone introduced her in an interview.

[sixstanger00]

Well, the rumor is that Steve Moffat is using Matt Smith's face in the new opening sequence for series 5. And thanks for the compliment :)

[Centurian128]

Nice video, rather well done.

I wonder, it you'll satisfy my curiosity, who was your favorite Doctor from the classic series?

[sixstanger00]

Well at the risk of starting an infinite debate, I'm kind of a tie between Tom Baker and Peter Davison. Don't get me wrong though....Tennant has been superb - especially last night in Waters of Mars!!! I'm looking forward to Matt Smith though, because I think he will be reminiscent of Davison's era....

[Centurian128]

Quite the respectable choice, that is. Personally I'm more of a Sylvester McCoy person, not his earlier stories with Mel though, the one's with Ace are the best.

On Matt Smith though, I'm really not sure about him. He's just way too young, don't get me wrong I'll give him a chance, especially since I haven't seen any of Smith's other work.

[sixstanger00]

Not as young as you might think - he was 26 when he was cast for Who, which will probably make him near 27 when series 5 airs - Davison was only 29 when he was cast as No. 5.

[Centurian128]

Well, that does still make him the youngest actor to play the role. But I'll still give him a chance. This is probably coming from me not wanting Tennant to leave, I probably would've been better with him going if he spent one more year on, but this is just too close to his near-regeneration in Stolen Earth/Journey's End.

On a side note, what do you think of the idea of Simon Baker, as he is in The Mentalist, as an eventual Doctor? That is if you've seen the show.

[sixstanger00]

on YouTube, search for "Ruby In The Smoke" Matt Smith clips....there are a few clips of him - that's the first thing I've seen him in, and just from what I saw, I think he will do fine.

[Psfreakman300]

damn dude this is really awsome

[sixstanger00]

Thanks. It was a real pain simulatnig Tom Baker's intro using only Macromedia FLASH.

[LtGripweed]

I think that they should have David McCallum (of NCIS) as Doctor #12.

[RegenerationStorm]

no it should be russ abbot from the sarah jane adventures

[sixstanger00]

A little early to be thinking about number 12, huh guys? Let's climb aboard with No. 11 for a few trips around the universe and up and down the timelines first ;)

[RegenerationStorm]

quite literally - matt smith will already be doing 5 years as the doctor!!

[sixstanger00]

eh that's what they said about Tennant

[RegenerationStorm]

did they? well in reports matt smith SINGED a contract to stay for 5 years because they didnt want him "doing a david tennant" and leaving early

[RegenerationStorm]

signed*

[sixstanger00]

With Moffatt returning the show 2 its classic roots, and the massive fanbase of those classic roots supporting his changes to the show, I feel like the 5 series will be even more of a sensation throughout the Who community than the last 4 seasons. Alot of "newbies" (particularly females) are already up in arms with the changes because A) Tennant is leaving B) No love interest for the Doctor C) They are appauled at the Doctor's "TRU-WHO" costume. D) They dislike the Hartnell designed TARDIS.

[RegenerationStorm]

well at least there wont be a mislead fanbase this time around - moffet will truly be able to sive out the fans who are true to what they are a fan for

[sixstanger00]

Completely agreed! The fans who will be watching will be in love with the SHOW, and not the lead actor or his companion. Bless you, Sir Moffatt!

[timelordess1]

Brilliant! as the doctor once said

[Azuleyes87]

This ones really cool. :)

[prayfertrey]

additional: The lead character wasn't beautiful and didn't win the day with guns or fisticuffs or with sexual prowess. It didn't try to sell itself to me with sickly sentimentality. It was, really, the definition of the show created by Sydney Newman, being a show for bright kids. That is a distinct tv show. When it was no longer that, it was a DIFFERENT tv show. It's just the vagaries of tv and greed that other producers got to run with the lore of an old show and make it "tv as usual".

[sixstanger00]

Absolutely! Absolutely! I got to thinking about what you had wrote in your first comment and my response, and I realized that many of the NEW WHO episodes seem more like a separate tv show just doing parodies on the original WHO, the way Family Guy often does.

[sixstanger00]

The fourth season of the new WHO was my favorite, because the Doctor's companion, Donna Noble, didn't have the knack for falling in love like Rose and Martha. Additionaly, Donna seemed to handle the unknown alot better than Rose or Martha. Anytime the Doctor took Rose out of her own solar system, all she would do is whine about her friends and family back home.

[prayfertrey]

The problem is that it's all beneath critiquing. It's just normal ole generic tv with shiny sci fi things and pretty actors to delight tv nerds who don't care what form their tv scifi comes in, as long as it keeps coming. Star Trek: TNG was popular, too. Well, your channel surfing, and it's all boring, and then you see something with space ships and laser guns and you sit there and watch it. That doesn't make it a "good"; merely shiny.

[RealArcalian]

I think that is the best definition of what is wrong with RTD's pseudo-Who, ever.

[prayfertrey]

Additional: for me, who became something like nothing else on tv in the early-mid 70s, and that's why I liked it. It was iconoclastic. It was straight sci-fi (the way Seinfeld was just funny, without social commentary - but somehow amounted to better commentary as a result). The writers were real writers, not fanwanks. It wasn't trying to be a commercial for itself. It didn't look or even feel like it was trying to be like anything else on tv. The theme sounded like something done by Pink Floyd

[prayfertrey]

Has the Advocate ever done any coverage of drwho since it became a gay themed sci fi show?

[sixstanger00]

I don't know, but I think the rewrite of the series was a huge disappointment if not a huge shock for many of the loyal fans. Steven Moffat and Helen Raynor are the best writers for the new series, since most of their stories seemed to be more faithful to the original series. RTDs stories seemed to often be a cross between a gay comedy/soap opera/drama. The REAL WHO was about FANTASY/SCI-FI. Thats why we loved it so much.

[prayfertrey]

Hard to say what "real who" is because there's never been creative control, and each producer was like a different actor playing the part, they did the show very differently, so differently that it may as well have been a different show. In other words, a show has an identity that makes it "that show". If someone came in and did, "The Simpsons" as sitcom drama, like The Flintstones or The Cosby Show, would that be "The Simpsons"? Of course not, but it would use the title, Homer, Marge, etc.

[frankiewilliams]

This is brilliant.

[DoctorWhoJohnnyBoy]

Very good!
