Doctor Who Classic - The Matrix Editions - Season 12 (with new VFX)
ROBOT -
While I've added a few extra sound effects before, this is the first time I've done it to such a large extent. The K1 Robot was quite an impressive construction but it's footsteps made it sound a bit plasticy and insubstantial so I wanted to see if I could make the footsteps sound much heavier. I also wanted to add mechanical noises so it sounded like it was being animated by gears and motors rather than a human (a bit like C3PO's sounds).
Adding the sounds and getting the timing right was quite a huge undertaking so I doubt I'll ever do anything to that extent again!
For the disintegration gun I played with a few different effects before settling on something similar to Bok's victims in The Daemons, except with glowing particles rather than ash-like remains.
For the first-person view for the K1's vision I wanted to conceal the obvious textured mirrored surface camera effect they used for these shots so created a grid that served as both a HUD and a way to conceal the texture of the mirrored surface. I threw in a few HUD elements that didn't look too anachronistic and a little pixelation.
And by the way, the effect I used for Third's regeneration into Four is based on the description from the novelisation, which mentions a "golden glow" from the Doctor's body. It's not a half-hearted attempt to recreate the effect from the 2005 series :-)
THE ARK IN SPACE -
Every single time I've watched either Ark or Revenge in recent years I've been itching to have a go at replacing the stars in the corridor scenes so they don't look like a few lights attached to a black curtain. Adding the stars (which of course have to slowly move as Nerva rotates) was probably the most time-consuming aspect of doing this season due to the sheer amount of masking and tracking involved (I can understand why those who did the special editions didn't do it!). It's far from perfect, but is the best I can manage with the tools available and I think it works quite well.
The fun part of this story was adding the effects for the Fission, and other, guns :-)
THE SONTARAN EXPERIMENT -
This was a nice easy edit and the effects didn't take too long either. I toyed with the idea of creating a 3D model of Styre's ship and exploding it for the climax, but I don't think my Blender skills are quite there yet. Maybe one day.
GENESIS OF THE DALEKS -
It only occurred to me recently that I could un-invert the full screen negative effect used in the early Dalek exterminations (I think it was when I did Frontier). This allows me to keep the background un-inverted while just inverting the victims themselves (as in later stories).
I worked hard trying to get the timing right on Davros's extermination so that his hand isn't hovering above the destruct button for an incongruous amount of time, so the blast hits him sooner but his reaction still looks right.
REVENGE OF THE CYBERMEN -
The actual location of Nerva Beacon in this story has never been very explicit. Characters refer to the beacon as being in "orbit", and while it's obviously supposed to be in the vicinity of Jupiter, it is never stated, on-screen or in the novel, that it's actually orbiting Jupiter (which would make sense considering the role of the beacon as a resupply station for the long journey between Pluto and Earth). Voga is explicitly said to be in orbit around Jupiter, but Nerva is nowhere near Voga until the end of the story, so it's not orbiting Voga either.
So, after overthinking this way too much, I decided it would be nice to see the beacon orbiting Jupiter (or at least, floating around quite nearby, since Jupiter is so vast). This offers a nice contrast to Ark, where the beacon is seen orbiting Earth, and helps bring home the idea that this is a completely different space/time location yet the same space station.
For the Cybermen head-guns it had recently occurred to me (only after 40+ years!) that the sound effect is actually similar to the pulsing sound heard for the cyberguns from Earthshock onward (who knows, perhaps this was intentional). So I naturally turned to the most recent reimagining of the Cyber-gun effect, which is in The Five Doctors anniversary edition, and used this as the basis for the new effect.
Originally, like the Sea-Devil's guns, I wasn't going to add effects to the cyberguns, since there's already a practical effect. But one thing that really lacks in those scenes is the impact of the weapon on the recipients of the blast. People just kind of fall over. So if I was going to add an effect for the impact I figured I may as well add a gun effect too.
And now, on to Season 14!...

มุมมอง 1.8K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
'The Three Doctors' There's no way I was ever going to get The Three Doctors down to anything close to an hour, as it's quite a densely packed four-parter, but there were a few areas where the pace needed a little help.

There have been plenty of very talented pioneers before me in the Dr. Who fan-edi...

With the recent release of the Season 20 Collection Blu-ray box set every story in that season has received updated VFX, with the exception of The King's Demons. Well, I couldn't have that :-) I based Kamelion's transformation effect on the one used in Planet of Fire, or more specifically, the Special Edition of that story that enhances the original effect.

Just what TH-cam needs - another Doctor Who theme remix!! This is a re-arrangement of Orbital's brilliant "Doctor?" which follows the same structure as the classic themes rather than just the, "melody 1, melody 2, bridge, repeat" of their original version. It also mixes in elements from the Delia Derbyshire mix. The visuals are done almost entirely in the excellent, and free, vizzy.io

Now I'm intrigued 😊
The ray gun effects are fantastic! Because they look better than the original, but still retro, in a beautiful way. That’s what they always should have looked like.
ooooweeeeoooooo ooooooweeee yep all of the doctor who opening and closing
The original theme has a haunting quality that perfectly captures the essence of the show. Its eerie and slightly frightening tone conveys a sense of mystery and impossibility. At the same time, there's an underlying feeling of positive determination. This combination of elements effectively represents the show's character - blending the unsettling with the adventurous.
The Marshal was one villain who was not killed off, the control panel in his command ship turned up later as part of the set in the pursuit ship in the Blake,s Seven episode Hostage three weeks after this Dr Who serial was ended and it is awesome how sets, costumes, locations and also props got used in both sci-fi series .
The Hand picking up the Tardis was *chefs kiss*
I wish the BBC would employ you to do updated VFX to all the classic seasons on iPlayer. Who else agrees with me?
What a lovely song and a great remix of the tune and I love you too and the tune love love love you too much Richard McGeechan ❤
What me and the boys see after that lethal dose of LSD In all seriousness, this is really good
Why do they edit this part out on pluto?
I've loved this story since I saw it on first transmission, although I was forced to watch it on a small B&W in my bedroom as the rest of the family insisted on watching Buck effing Rogers or something. 🤬🤬 It totally blew my little mind, too! It's difficult to get across just what a contrast this was to the previous seasons. At that age time goes so slowly, so it felt like the show had been coasting for years. Then POW!! To this day, Season 18 is one of my favourites. It starts as one thing and ends as another entirely. Wonderful stuff! 😊
Brings back my childhood. Thanks
I could have seen androids like Kamelion been used in Blake,s Seven by the arch-enemy, Servalan herself as a replica of Blake.
This Dr Who serial is what Blake,s Seven would have been like had Blake,s Seven, been made and shown 5 years earlier than 1978 and also having a female president is similar to what happens in Blake,s Seven with female arch-enemy and principal villain Servalan herself and it was awesome in billions of ways .
The Draconians were Jon Pertwee,s favourite enemies in Dr Who, and he preferred humanoid villains with facial expressions.
Sorry but to me the video edit is a lot better than the themes mash - up
Anyone ever tried this at 33.33 RPM?
Can I ‘nerd out’? - I LOVE the combination of the standard Genesis Daleks’ gun sound with their first ‘chirp’ sound when Davros is initially testing the weaponry with the cutout targets in the wasteland!
Genesis of the Daleks !!!!! .... Hands down thee Greatest, Next
One of the Greatest & most Dramatic Dalek Stories I have ever seen & since ...... Very Emotional Ending , Bittersweet
Can't save this rather non-descript story I'm afraid.
The Nimon be praised! No other monsters ever matched the Nimons.
Mostly very nice and tasteful - and this story certainly needs a touch up on the effects. But I think the palace on Omega's planet doesn't really work.
You’ve redecorated and I love it. Gx
Very good in fact brilliant 🇬🇧
Great vid
Nice job!
Awesome vid
Terrific remix. This theme always transfixes me-- whatever the version!
Horrible eyes. Leave it the way it was!

This story was scary. You made it terrifying! Well done.
A friend of mine bought one of the original robot heads at an auction back in the mid 1980s. They were very impressive - made of fibreglass and quite heavy. I got to try it on. A strange compulsion came over me...
The bit with the chair always kills me
Nice effects for a totally awful story 😢
Interesting. I absolutely love every minute of it.
Sid Sutton did a superb job with the visuals
Yes. The starfield forming Tom's face was genius, and then deforming for the outro which is classic BBC cheapness, but in this case it bloody works so well!
EXCITING!! Looking forward to these new additions to the Matrix Editions. Thank you for all of your continued hard work.
great work. Maybe the BBC should hire you for effects.
An astonishing amount of time, effort and skill to create these. Absolutely superb. 👏👏👏
I first noticed this style of updated ("overlaid") VFX on the 6th-7th Doctor regeneration … which is fine for personal experiments, but on a professional product for sale I want to see something that's not 100% adding luminance to the picture. Sometimes the new effect has to darken the image too, not just lighten it. (I have a theory that the images are always displayed "darker" on SDR LCDs and OLEDs than they were originally designed to be seen on CRTs, since TVs got less contrast for a decade after flat panels were introduced … so the "original" footage looks darker than it truly did when it was first seen).
@@whophd I don't fully understand what you mean, but these effects are not just "100% adding luminance to the picture". 90% of these are entirely new VFX. Perhaps you might need to watch the original again 🙂
@@cunningmunki Hmm what about if I say "the new effects are usually brighter than the ones they replace"? Or maybe I'm thinking of certain examples like the glow effect, which is probably always used without reducing the overall picture exposure. This gives away the anachronism maybe.
@@whophd yep I see what you mean. Often the effect on the whole frame depends on the scene, for example, the light from the "laser gun" should realistically alight it's surroundings and unless that's done in-camera you're left with few options but to lighten, or partially lighten the surrounding frame. This can sometimes result in some artifacting or an unrealistic increased exposure, especially in dark scenes, of which there are many in this story, but without the ability to add HDR it's unfortunately unavoidable and only fleeting. But I take your point about the rest of the frame becoming underexposed due to the increased points of light, so I might experiment with that in future, so thanks for the tip!
@@cunningmunki In fact were you thinking about how the camera lens would REACT to the brightness, and after a split second the exposure would DUCK! That's going to look quite realistic. I've been thinking more about how to describe my frustrations that were mostly subconscious: When a super bright object glows (think of the Silver Nemesis statue in Season 25), a real camera with a real object would tighten its lens right down, to reveal details and the face. It would still SEEM bright of course, and clearly the glowing light would be spilling into surrounding areas of the image - a familiar technique. But my frustration is when the image details get smudged into a whiteness-nothing, with no more headroom for brightness. In fact these "white" images were intended to be viewed more brightly when we had CRTs, because the contrast and brightness went down once the revolution of flat panels started (until HDR, but that's still starting slowly). Take a look at the new videos on my channel in the past week ... I've done some careful grading and mapping of the 1988 vision, and adapted it for my very modern HDR display (1600 nits, a fairly high standard right now). What you specifically are going to find incredible is that when I was working on each scene - naturally I had to validate the mapping scene-by-scene - I discovered that the new CG sequences didn't fit the brightness curves of the original. The new material is calibrated to what is now "SDR" 100 nits, so I can't grade it with anywhere near the same strength as the original 1988 video material. In fact I had to change my LUT (lookup table) entirely to a film-based one, that suited it far better (I've found the same thing when a film insert has been recaptured directly to digital in the DVD or Blu-ray era), and even then I had to detune the LUT by 33%-50% to match the adjacent material. Wow.
Hi. How may I see these matrix edition stories, please?
@@frankcronogue1906 link in bio 🙂
LOVE IT!
For what it’s worth Monsieur Munki, I still much prefer your effects to the new Tales Of The Tardis ones (especially your deflection shield), from reactions I’ve seen, everyone spots the modern CGI and knows it’s ‘the new bits’ and it pulls them right out of it. The one thing I did prefer was that they skipped the pyramid puzzles, they are a bit silly.
I think this is better than the updated effects than those used in Tales from the Tardis
All subtle changes but all excellent and blend veey very well with the original footage
Forgive me if no one was seeing this before, and if my saying this causes you to never Unsee it. The new VFX effects and the recent Episode of Disney Who, kinda makes it look like when Sutekh is coming through that tunnel that his red sleaves look like evil eyes when coming through and phasing out.
I love how the effects are basically "What could they do at the time with a bit more budget?" it keeps things from looking too out of place, while still looking clean and improved.
I prefer the old effects…especially the time tunnel (corridor) in the sarcophagus.
A new body and a new set of teeth "at laaashht!", which is nice. 😁
"Melkur. Melkur? Melkur." They were milking the Melkur a bit there.
Did you work on the new Tales of the TARDIS? Because besides the time vortex being the modern look it all looks the same.
I didn't and I haven't watched it yet! looking forward to it!
I'm sure you've been told, but check out the most recent tales of the tardis episode lol
