8th Doctor Opening Titles 2(Big Finish - Nic Briggs version)

This is a 2nd title sequence for the 8th Doctor - Paul McGann, designed for the re-mix of Delia Derbyshire's Doctor Who theme arrangement by Nicholas Briggs for Big Finish's 8th Doctor & Lucie audio adventures.

As the re-mixed theme was derivative, nostalgic and self-indulgent, I put together this new title sequence in a similar way, manipulating numerous old title footage from the 60's and 70's. This new theme is hardly a favourite of mine. In fact I'm not keen on it at all, but I was just glad for the excuse to make a new title sequence.

Enjoy!

P.S. It's good to back and making videos again at last, after getting a new laptop, and slightly better software.

Where can one get this version of the doctor who theme?

[ReverseThePolarity]

I'm sorry, this version hasn't been released on it's own, just on the audio stories themselves. I only made it by mixing together parts of the opening and closing themes from two of the new Big Finish stories with Paul McGann.

I was thinking when you cut out around McGann why don't you use the feather tool, make the edges look more feathered.

[ReverseThePolarity]

I don't have or know how to work Photoshop, if that's what you mean, so I didn't have a 'feather' tool on my photo software, although I did soften the edges. I did actually apply a gradient blur to the Doctor's face, but I tried not to do it too much, as to have light rays coming off the face, but it's hard to see on the compressed youtube version. It looks fine on the original.

Nice but it's too much of an updated 4th doctor intro

[ReverseThePolarity]

That was really my aim. My point was that this theme was so engrossed with the 70s, that perhaps the titles should reflect the same tone and feel that the music conveys.

Nicholas Briggs does a lot of things well, but remixing the title theme isn't one of them. It's trying way too hard to be edgy, and David Arnold's version was much better. Big Finish should go back to it.

Nice job on the video though, the graphics are pretty slick. Well done!

[TheOnComingStorm121]

David Arnold's was more a re-adaptation, while this is a direct remix of the original theme.

I quite like it; but the Arnold is grittier

@bjl104445 And Cybermen. And Judoon. But he already was the voice of those (minus the Judoon) in the BF Audios.

@NNYPG Also, I liked your 'Nostalgic 80s Video 1', which (should you choose to accept this task) I would like you to merge with this video?

[NNYPG]

Hi ReverseThePolarity; I am making a series of 8th Doctor animations, with the CGI being applied to the Big Finish audio dramas. I have been looking for a title sequence, and yours has caught my eye above all. Could I get you on board, and, if so, can you do a revamp but in HD?

[MaskedMan66]

Nice!

[metroidprime4]

@legoman14059 No it's not.
