The Hired Guns get clapped. The Daleks get aids and die. Davros spent to much time consuming his own supply, thus also got aids and died. The Gurads were given mall security levels of training and weopons, and thus were all clapped go death. And Tegan is traumatized to the point of never having fully recovered by new who. Even with the help of Ace, Mel, K-9 or Sarah Jane.
I love how from _Genesis_ ~ _Revelation,_ to be hit by a Dalek’s weapon is _particularly_ excruciating, and even after the green-blue irradiation fades away the victim can still remain alive and standing for quite a few seconds as they stare in shock and disbelief before they drop down dead . . . It’s even a sort of plot point here in that although Stien is blasted by the Daleks in front of the now-primed station self-destruct controls he still has enough time and composure to launch himself onto the module to active it.
I’m remembrance of the Daleks, the seventh doctor said that to be shot by a dalek and what happens it that your “insides get scrambled” which… is f*cking gory
I suspect it's more to do with that generation of actors, many of whom primarily worked in the theatre of that era and as a result had developed a style that might politely be called "theatrical"
@@zeddeka It's also because in Dalek lore, Daleks deliberately adjust their ray to be one level below maximum power so that the victim dies excruciatingly because Daleks believe all non-dalek life should die in agony - it's quite chilling..
Excellent work, really elevates which is an already amazing story! Fingers crossed this gets picked for updated special effects when Season 21 comes to the collection
They couldn’t have chosen a bleaker location for this shoot. Shad Thames in 84 is a whole world away from how it is now. In fact, an apartment there in Butlers Wharf is still my lottery win residence of choice.
I recall this episode also missing a lot of audio elements, as in you'd see the flash for the Dalek's disruptors, but no sound, and random soldiers just going "Aiee!" and falling over.
This is why Dr Who is in dire need of an updated version like Star Trek. And I don't mean just "optional" effects, they should be the standard. The old effects should be the DVD extra! Trekkies were up in arms about replacing the effects back when they first did it, but now no one cares and Star Trek TOS is all the better for it.
@@cunningmunki if we could all wish it upon you I’m sure we would Munki, but unfortunately the BBC seem deliberately trying not to let the fans get their hands on their old cash cow too much, intermittent and patchy quality special editions only, my theory being it’s for fear the audience might be so happy with what they last got that they’ll stop buying the next overpriced under-improved boxset that mostly only slightly tweaked the contrast a bit.
Someone needs to do a Kill Count on this episode! Just a stupid amount of death, as highlighted in this video. As of 2021, Resurrection of the Daleks has the highest on-screen body count of any televised Doctor Who story, with 76 deaths.
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.
@@cunningmunki Ah, I see him now; he didn't get hit by the red bolts. I just seemed to remember watching this a long time ago and since the last one made subdued grunt I assumed it was him (not easy to tell who's whom when the weapons don't have VFXs). In any case thanks for correcting me and nice work on the VFX!
@@Combaticon thanks! Yeah, I really wanted to add someone getting hit by a Dalek blast in this scene, because they were in the battle but didn't seem to be shooting anyone! When I first did it I did think I'd accidentally killed Lytton, but then realised he was at the back. Phew!
Bleak story where everyone practically ends up dead. Love the new effects
Famous for having a higher kill rate than The Terminator of the same year.
Mary Whitehouse must’ve been furious 😂
Wow but davros is back baby
Genecidal Insanity of the Daleks! Lol
The Hired Guns get clapped.
The Daleks get aids and die.
Davros spent to much time consuming his own supply, thus also got aids and died.

2:49 That guy was determined to compensate for all the half assed deaths from the other actors

I agreed
Always laughed at the trooper who is exterminated and let's out a giant "Owwwww" as if he's just dropped something on his foot!
The TARDIS in the time corridor sequence is exceptional.
Now this is truly exceptional. Only real critique is the muzzle flashes of the guns at the beginning being a bit too OTT
They couldn’t have chosen a bleaker location for this shoot. Shad Thames in 84 is a whole world away from how it is now. In fact, an apartment there in Butlers Wharf is still my lottery win residence of choice.
Great work. I love this episode. It’s eerie and still haunts me. Like Earthshock
It is a great Story ....... Great 4 Parter😊
I recall this episode also missing a lot of audio elements, as in you'd see the flash for the Dalek's disruptors, but no sound, and random soldiers just going "Aiee!" and falling over.
Yeah, pretty obvious to see how the tuppence budget was originally allocated.
Brutal and bleak battles in the end of this story, it's no wonder you'd want to leave like Tegan did, if this was real.
LOVE this! A great deal of time and effort is all up there on the screen. Thanks for this!
Great work esp the time corridor. One criticism is the muzzle flashes for the police look silly because those weapons wouldn't produce them.
yeah I wasn't convinced by them either, I'll probably take them out

Always astonishes me just how much some well done effects can transform a lesser Who story into a much more exciting one.

Amazing. Well done. Excellent work.
The body count😱😉
Love the design of the DALEK battle cruiser in this and the Space Station.
Top notch.
Excellent work 👍👍, I love the brand new Special Effects, They’re Fantastic and Awesome.

Great work. I like how the shaving cream was left alone. Can't improve upon that! 😂
Just a tip. At the start the submachine gun has a silencer on it which would eliminate any muzzle flash. So adding that in makes it look unrealistic.
Excellent work, shame you can't remaster some of the acting! :D
Brilliant. The BBC Should give you a job. This is fantastic.
I always liked Rula Lenska's take on a medical officer...
Interesting effects upgrades from the originals.
So easy to see why Tegan left...
One of the Greatest & most Dramatic Dalek Stories I have ever seen & since ......
Very Emotional Ending , Bittersweet
These are great! Deserve to be on the real thing.
The new effects really enhanced this old classic.
Great work as always! Thank you for this.
2:58 my vision is impaired i cannot see
This should make a great updated effects for Doctor Who: The Collection Season 21 Blu-Ray set mate!

I think the Dalek ray deaths are fantastic sddo
TEGAN: DOCTOR I CAN'T HOLD MUCH MORE.
THE 5TH DOCTOR: HOLD ON
Give the classic Dalek episodes a CGI upgrade, and they are so much better than the modern series.
Genesis of the Daleks !!!!! .... Hands down thee Greatest, Next
absolutely brilliant!!!!!!
4:40, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that Lytton who feigned his death? If so, then the Dalek blast shouldn't be there.
It is not. You can see Lytton behind him taking a dive at the same time :-) I guess he figured that was probably a good time to play dead!

Lytton ended being killed by the sixth Doctor to stop him being turned into a Cyberman. Sadly the actor who played him died young.
@@julianaylor4351 I thought he was killed by the Cyber Controller.
I hope we will.have this version on season 21.

Amazing!
Great job.
excellent

You giving Revelation of the Daleks new vfx sometime?
it already has them. they're not amazing, but they're ok
Hello boys.
I knew this episode starred rula lensflare
horrible story
