Doctor Who Animated: The Massacre - WhoSprites

[DoctorWhoFanactic]

What program did you use?

[ocpmovie]

@DoctorWhoFanactic Pen & paper, Photoshop for coloring, Final Cut Pro for talking, Anime Studio/Moho for bodies.

[ZaffireWolf]

The bodily motions seem too... "windy" I suppose? They're swaying too much. But it's awesome that this can be done in lieu of the video footage being lost.

[LostandFoundTravel]

This is the best one I have seen so far. Thanks.

[Yetaxa]

I've recently noticed that most of the season 3 stories end with everybody dead or at least a high death count.

[blackphoenix77]

wow...what an intense scene!

[martang66]

awesome animation, and well doen for choosing this marvellous scene - i wont hear a word said against steven, he was a great companion!

[tf2whackyengineer]

Is it possible to get the complete audio for these adventures. The first doctor worked a great deal on obeying time lord rules at times, not interfering where he didn't have to. He started with a much dimmer view of humans until he kidnapped Ian and Barbara when they broke into the TARDIS. He hated having them along, but softened nad missed them when they left. He also had a somewhat more villainous streak until Ian prevented him from doing some rather nasty things.

[tf2whackyengineer]

@tf2whackyengineer I wonder if this might be where he began to realize he should meddle in time affairs when it helps people. The second doctor was put on trial for that, and of course now it's all he does most of the time. It would be interesting to go back and study the first doctor's history, if only through audio.

[screamwriter1]

Can't change the course of history? WTF?! That's all he does. LOL

[KingLofiOne]

@screamwriter1 Well, but during the first Doctors tenure, the program was educational and still there to teach kids about history and to show how historical events happened, less about the Doctor saving people. Of course, there were some "Monster-of-the-Week" stories with Daleks and once the Cybermen, but those were much rarer than now. The Second Doctor really started with gravitating the series towards its appearance today.

[Aspergianstar2009]

Again please write to the bbc you could get paid for this work and restore all the old episodes that are lost to former glory

[all13Doctors]

Not even Susan understood... I cannot change history... I DARE not change history!

I miss the magic of how it all was....

[Aspergianstar2009]

Please apply to the BBC and get them to take your work on. I would buy DVDs of the old classics like this if they were animated. I find it hard to visualise things when I just hear audio

[flugel76]

I'd like to know where you get ahold of all these audio recordings.  Every link I've tried is dead.

[rmxppool]

Brilliant!

[heisntdoctorwho]

Interesting to compare the Doctor's attitude to interfering with history as shown here, with his recent actions in The Waters of Mars!

[heyarnoldsknee]

I know he says "possible" the first time, but...it comes out as "TOSSER"#

Which makes the whole scene better

[britfrenir]

Thank you for making this and posting it. It nice to see this until this story is found.

[Exeunt26]

Not having a go at you, it's just a common thing I see with fan animations in general - geometric objects are easier to draw and animate. To be more specific, the characters actually move too much, evenly and pretty much continually. It would look more convincing if the movements were quicker but more defined, discrete movements instead of a smooth 'glide'. That takes more analysis and of course, more time and resources.

[pandaphil]

Oh exactly. Plus art school, years of practice, etc. But this is definately promising. The bodies need work, but I'm honestly quite impressed with the facial likenesses and the lip movements.

[themindrobber]

Fantastic work, and possibly the single best scene of the Hartnell era. One of the rare moments in the 60s where a companion questions the motives of the Doctor, his ability to change history and interfere in the lives of others. Compelling stuff. Beautifully brought to life. Well done.

[radioman970]

These are wonderful.

[chazntitch]

i want to attempt some reconstructions but on ur whosprites site none of the links work to download?

[jason241972]

please more!!!!!!

[Kaagh178]

Kind of reminds me of the argument between the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble in the Fires of Pompeii, about leaving all the people in Pompeii to be killed by the Volcano eruption. In that, Donna ALSO pleaded that the Doctor save someone's life.

[android65mar]

Fantastic, excellently tense scene, pretty much sums up the alien nature of the Doctor and the impossible moral choices he faces. Definitley % stars.

[dalekgun]

Your animation is fantastic.

[dramaticguy]

Good job there,would love to see an animated sequence of Sara Kingdom's ageing in the final epsiode of The Dalek Masterplan.

[Exeunt26]

Sorry to be critical but I'm finding the characters' movements rather weird - they sort of glide back and forth slowly. It looks quite unnatural and doesn't capture the way the actors actually move. Still think the Cosgrove Hall stuff hits the spot by comparison.

[Shimah930]

the doctor has a similar attitude in fires of pompeii

[ericinwisconsin]

I've just recently discovered Whosprites, and while I'm VERY impressed with their work, I cannot fathom why they aren't making full missing episodes instead of individual scenes. Maybe they have a good reason. Can someone explain their position on this to me?

[choochooguy63601]

Can you download WhoSprites?

[Lexx2]

Another fabulous piece. More!!!

[nutsonthe70s]

Brilliant................keep this up Mate, your work is REALLY appreciated among us fans.

[codyw1]

Dude, you really need to start doing whole stories. ;)

[colonelbarker]

Looking very nice indeed. Character animation has come a long way, much more subtle. I really like it. The only thing that isn't quite gelling are a handful of background shots. The last shot especially, where the console seems to come up to the Doctor's knees. I don't want to concentrate on that though, as it's looking very good.

Fantastic.

[Alexoneil]

It's certainly most briliant, 5 stars :)

[DalekSupreme52]

Definitely one of the best you've done. You have got the movement of the characters spot on, the expressions are brilliant, the artwork is as usual utterly brilliant, and the 3D sets look fantastic! However it is also the 3D sets I can find fault with. Other than the CGI characters at the beginning the Tardis set is out of scale with the 2D characters. And there are also some faults with the 3D characters at the beginning in terms of various animation glitches.

Keep up the good work
