Very good work. Like that old voice but the creepiest is the first Cybermen voice where they just stress the wrong parts of words. Simple but creepily effective. :)
the marching is not scary... is just to make a cool scene... but is out of character... The Cybermen are supposed to be cybernetic zombies, not robots. the beauty of stories like moonbase is that the Cybermen are soo creepy and sneaky that they were entering the base for a long time without the crew knowing. Now try that with RTD's Cyberrobotocops. the definitive ones are the one from the 60s.
Heh, agreed on principal, but in Army of Ghosts in the new season they did kind of do an infiltration theme again in Torchwood, possibly as a nod to Moonbase or Wheel in Space.
As for the marching and catch phrases... they just cheapen the image of Cybermen to me.
Nothing against Murray. But we NEED MUSIC like the original cyber theme. His theme is good too, but doesn't OOZE creepyness like Tomb's music (and voices frankly). THe original Cyber theme has got to be THE most memorable music of the classic series.
Nice work. Love the original, but it's amazing how you've made the 'new' cybermen creepier in this than in their tv appearances.. Black and white, slowed down, original more inhuman voices, shrouded in mist.. Especially found the appearance of Lumic to be much more powerful than in the new series.. Enjoyed it, thank you.
Who else likes the old Cybermen compared tot he new Cybus Corp ones? The original and real ones were WAY better and scarier and they could have easily brought the original ones back in to the series.
@rockkidmetal Well, that depends on which ones you're talking about and wheter or not you mean the Cybermen from Pandorica Opens or the ones in Age of Steel.
Because it's a kids children's programme and children like to imitate things.
And presumably because of the enormous success of the first monster catchphrase 'Exterminate' which showed this was a great hook. Even the Cybermen in the 80s had 'Excellent' as a catchphrase, so it's nothing new.
@themindrobber yeah i admit they maybe went a bit overboard with the Sontar Ha thing but they toned it down since and really i kinda liked the whole Zulu warrior vibe they were channelling
@CYBERDOODY Well for most of Doctor Who it was alright with one or two "exterminates" from the daleks or "eradicates" from the cybermen but now it's just a bit crap
The original Cybermen were very crudely done and I would love to see the BBC update a lot of the old series material with a fresh coat of paint like this...maybe a few specials once in a while. Alas, the BBC has always shown a lack of imagination for things of this nature.
I really like this version. You know withthe original I got bored with very quickly. The tomb looks like a studio.I supose if I grew up kin the 60s I would ha liked it more. I love the actors. Whats amusing is later when someone is lifted by the cyberman, the human being pulled by wires.
the tomb of the cybermen was one of the best stories ever, the cybermen were scariest in it, had the eeriest voices and an eerie theme too and the best cyberman story too.
It's one of my favourites too, and it was one of the first stories I saw back in 2000 when I got hooked. Had forgotten about Doctor Who since I saw it as a kid and re-discovered it in a DVD shop one day in 2000. Havent bothered with other sci-fi since, as there really is no match to this awesome tv-format.
I think they should use that voice-design for the new series.. It frightens the chickenshite out of me. And what happened to their catchphrase: "You belong to us. You will be like us" - their current one: "Delete!" doesnt exactly incur fear...
Oh yeah, they did - "You belong to us - YOU WILL BE LIKE US" kind of tells you that, no? They've always been the machine-race who thinks they own you and have put it on themselves to take you out of your emotional misery and hell by converting you.
Love it when Star Trek fans say that the Cybermen are a ripoff of the Borg. =)
Not even bothering to check the date of their first appearance before they spout their superiority crap ;-)
Too true.... The RTD era cybermen are pants!! Bring back the Mondasion Cyberman and let them assimilate the crappy 'Cybus' Cybermen! at least then we would have a decent cyberman story!
Quite well put together, you can even recognize the scenes the from which the updated Cybermen are edited in from...but to be loyal to the original storyline, I dunno, I don't think it needs any embellishment, it's a classic story and one of the few really classic Dr Who's to survive from the 1960s... Mindrobber, ever thought of doing a revisit to the last episode of The Evil of the Daleks ... now that would be quite a challenge.
Indeed, it's not really meant as any disrespect to the original. I actually think the Tomb version of the Cybermen were the best costumes. As for the final battle from Evil, well... It's one of many things of mine which are kind of stuck in the pipeline...!
I am not very impressed with the new style cybermen. They look like something from a 1930's Flash Gordon film, or from Tom Paris' cheesy ST:Voyager holodeck sci-fi programme.
They're not robots though are they, that's the point. It's a well put togeher vid no question, but Jackalman99, whether the new design is 'improved' is highly debatable. And your dismissal of classic Who as trash does you no credit, as it exemplifies the term longevity, whereas NuWho is very disposable in comparison.
I happen to like the whole series and view them all as one whole series. The series stopped for a short time after Mc Coy passed the torch to Mc Gann but, Mc Gann and Roberts did reprise their roles in a radio drama The Time War. Then there were cartoons like Shada & the Scream of the Shalka.
Come on, the only decent villians they had back then were the daleks. They've said, spoofing themselves, Patrick Thorton's nemises were all tinfoil. But, the trashy bit was fun to watch as a kid.
Cool blending the old b & w with the new color eps. I was just posting how it's good Jon Lumic got a chance to reinvent his cybermen again, as they really looked like crap before
When I heard the story on audio tape, it was scarier than when I later watched in on video. If I saw this video in 1967 and I was a kid I'd need a fresh pair of pants by now.
you should do the part on totc (Tomb) where one cyberman breaks out and then rotc (rise) where one smashes a window , and then another tomb and then another window
That was really good. I used to try something similar with my VCR's long ago, replacing old effects shots with flasher ones stolen from other shows and movies, then edited back into the original scenes. Yours works really well =).
wow this is excellently done. The Tomb of the Cyberman voices were the best ones ever. It was creepy, emotionless and mechanical, like a real cyberman.
My mate Tony couldn't understand a word the new Cybermen said either though! Every line they said he asked me to translate and eventually we gave up as it was ruining the episode.
Nice editing! The new scenes work surprisingly well in black and white. I'd go as far as to say I actually think it improves them, but then I'm biased to Patrick Troughton.
Very good work. Like that old voice but the creepiest is the first Cybermen voice where they just stress the wrong parts of words. Simple but creepily effective. :)
