Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150AD - Alternate Title Sequence

[Megaloryan]

Those Daleks are some groovy cats!

[olivertaplin]

brilliant, reminded me of gilliam's intro to the life of Brian

[bukster1]

You've certainly got the feel of the typical 1960's title sequence.

[somewheretofit]

@bukster1 Thanks very much!

[MrCrassuswild]

brilliant!

[TsoLan1]

Very good, my only drawback is that the dalek on the eft has its fenders the wrong way around. Other then that it was great!

[somewheretofit]

@TsoLan1 Well spotted. Unfortunately the studio time I had with my toy dalek was limited and I completely forgot to film it from any other angles. This meant that when I flopped it in post production it mirrored the image, making the gun and sucker appear on the wrong sides.

[hatemeproductions]

Great job!

[LegoGear]

This is Awesome!

My favourite bit was when the credits appeared from the Dalek lazer.

[outofthegreenmist]

Looks great. Have you tried it with the McGuffie theme?

[edsquidful]

Very, very good! Ha!!!!

[xenbear]

Very good I'm surprised that Murray Gold music works well with this cos normally I cant stand his cacophonies.. Was this inspired by the title sequence of the Thunderbird film ?

[somewheretofit]

@xenbear Thanks. I'm afraid I don't know what Thunderbirds sequence you are referring to. I think my main inspiration leaned more towards other animated title sequences from the 60s, such as the intro for The Pink Panther. I wanted something with a definite 60s flavour that I could recreate with the equipment I had at my disposal, although my rather limited drawing skills made filming a model Dalek a much more attractive option than trying to animate it myself.

[CardClashersHub]

fantastic!

[doctorwholover1993]

those are the new series daleks, you can tell by the verticle slats, the transparent headlights and the super-sized plunger, but overall, nice work

[somewheretofit]

@doctorwholover1993 Indeed they are. At the time I only had a new series gold RC Dalek at my disposal to film for the project. Had I the money I would have liked to have bought one of the RC Movie Daleks, but sadly I had neither the time or the budget.

[WilliamGrantham]

@somewheretofit you should do the same intro again but put the new doctor who cast name in it and it would be great to make people think they are remaking dalek invasion earth

[Moxx0987654321]

That is really excellent!!!

[assemblyday]

Nice work...no, GREAT WORK!!

[TomatoeAssassin]

WOW! This has the 1960's written all over it.

Great Job

5 stars

[jampox101]

wow it did not look like those crap attempts. well done

[SuezCrisis1956]

This title sequence is awesome!

[dwst4]

Great job! Wonderfuly sixties!

[themindrobber]

I love this. Clever, inventive, funny, on-the-nose. Bravo, sir.

[LordRammasus]

Ive only seen 1 of peter cushings movie how many are they?

[somewheretofit]

Just the two - Doctor Who and the Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earch 2150AD, both based on the first two dalek stories in the TV show. They were going to make another film based on the third TV dalek outing, The Chase, but this sadly never happened.

[scottlong09]

alot 22 of them are with christopher lee

[handofsutekh]

lol

[brunoofthesheikra]

a great movie it was.

[Razza1091]

Brilliant. Spot on with the choice of music.

[AlbinoCaterpillar]

Would love to see more! This is fantastic! One minute is not enough!

[hatter23]

u are a star!

dr who store exmouth devon

[doctorwhoobawooba]

AWESOME! And the writing text is spot on.

[EdSigma]

Nice, very Saul Bass

[danlav05]

BRILLIANT!!!!

[MysteronAgent]

Quite the most wonderful thing I've seen on here for some time! Superb on all levels. Can't praise it enough!

[Poltroon]

Rather neat! Doctor Who meets James Bond meets Terry Gilliam meets Richard Williams...like it!

[nathanalaneller]

BRILLIANT!!!

[tardiselliot]

wow very good

how'd u make that

[somewheretofit]

Thanks! It's mainly just keyframe animation done in Adobe after effects. There are some background textures in there, photos of London with the colour taken out of them, a few drawings and cutouts and then some footage I shot of my 12" remote control Dalek. A week of editing later and this was what I came up with.

[tardiselliot]

well its very impressive my friend. doubt i could make that

[WhoFan9]

That was brillaint! :)

[brunoofthesheikra]

this would actually work if a remake was to be made [even though , in a vague and distant way "journey's end" did it to a small extent [the daleks DID take over earth]]

[tardis112233]

wow......

[tardis112233]

cool

[jackhyman]

Spot on !!!

1960's !

[ozdan72]

I thought it was just PERFECT!

[ewaf88]

Very well done - but why on Earth did you ditch the great original score by Bill McGuffie ?

[somewheretofit]

While I did enjoy the very kitsch nature of the original soundtrack, the sound quality was dated and in my opinion wouldn't have complimented the look I was after. I only just happened upon London Bridge by Murray Gold. I just felt that it helped the pace a lot more whilst sounding retro enough to set the mood of the film.

[ewaf88]

Tell you what then - although I've got four films in various stages of completion - when I get some time I'll grab the original music and put it to new titles. Then we can compare the two. In the meantime back to S******y

[PeddarsWay]

Wow that is excellent - particularly the very 60s use of silhouettes. Well done!

[warszawianka]

Good work! I like how you used the music from "Rose", which itself has a 60's action film sound to it.

[somewheretofit]

Thanks. It was more or less accidental. I'd bought the series soundtrack not long before making it and the more I listened the more it seemed to fit.

[Thwancondu]

That rocks

[Type40Films]

Amazing, which program did you use for this, surely not flash?

[somewheretofit]

Thanks!

It's a combination of PhotoShop and After Effects, with some live action footage of a toy Dalek. It took about a week to make, from making the backrounds in PhotoShop, filming and then editing it all together.

[PhoenixProductionz]

brillant :D

[Ajay2k6]

Great job!

[eaf1138]

This is some really good stuff.

[jjakagary]

Very Cool!

[doctorwhoone]

Very good , reminds me of the Pink Panther title sequances with the animation used in this video , please do check out my page anytime .

Cheers , Jason [ Doctor Who One ]

[johnnyshannow]

That was really impressive, well done.

[ronniesem]

This is seriously good - you have a bright future ahead of you in your chosen field if your work here is anything to go by. Now all we need is a funky, fast-moving, 60s inspired remake of the film itself to match!
