    I don't understand why some people repel against the "corniness" or "tackiness" or "silliness" of having the Doctor's face in the title sequences when you're literally talking about classic Doctor Who? Camp is not a negative.

    The 4th doctor's first title sequence was created using a technique called slit scan. It's the same effect used for the Stargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    The 7th doctors opening is not the first time we see the Tardis spin. That goes to the 2nd doctor era (possibly even 1st considering all the missing episodes) where we see it in flight multiple times.

    The 13th Doctor's title sequence is proof that when you let the person behind the concept actually make the title sequence (Ben Pickles aka John Smith VFX) and hire them, something incredible comes out of it. The problem with 12's is they just based it on the original concept by Billy Hanshaw but handed it off to BBC Wales VFX to do it instead of letting Billy do it himself and it ended up looking REALLY cheap - also for some reason that title sequence would sometimes be out of sync with the music for some reason, how does that happen?!
    my title sequence ranking would be:
    1. Thirteenth Doctor (2018 - 2022)
    2. Eleventh Doctor S5/S6 (2010 - 2011)
    3. Tenth Doctor V2 (2007 - 2010)
    4. Ninth Doctor and Tenth Doctor V1 (2005 - 2007)
    5. Fourth Doctor V2 and Fifth Doctor (1980 - 1984)
    6. Sixth Doctor (1984 - 1986)
    7. First Doctor and Second Doctor V1 (1963 - 1967)
    8. Fourth Doctor V1 (1974 - 1980)
    9. Third Doctor V2 (1973 - 1974)
    10. Third Doctor V1 (1970 - 1973)
    11. Second Doctor V2 (1967 - 1969)
    12. Eighth Doctor (1996)
    13. Seventh Doctor (1987 - 1989)
    14. Twelfth Doctor (2014 - 2017)
    15. Eleventh Doctor S7a (2012)
    16. Eleventh Doctor S7b (2012 - 2013)

    1.I don't like 12's, but to its credit I don't think it was intended to be diegetic, only a surreal representation of what the tardis offers.

      Hence why I think the Series 3 titles are the definitive ones of that era. My favourite rendition of the theme along with the brighter logo. I do like Series 4 as well, but the Series 1-3 theme just takes it for me.

    @SplotchTheCatThing ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Eeeh, I'm not too picky about these but the only title sequence I really dislike is the 7th Doctor's... the digital 3D effects... feels like the technology wasn't quite ready for what they were trying to make it do. The resolution on some elements is so bad it's kinda hard to make out what they're supposed to be or what they're doing. But mainly I just dislike the sense of floating in one place instead of having the feeling of forwards motion that almost all the other title sequences have managed to convey on some level. It's a really great, simple way of making you feel you're being pulled into the story and it's just totally absent there.
    I don't really like the synths they used in that version of the music either -- the bass is weirdly clipped and nasal, the main melody lead sounds like they took an FM synth and tried to make it sound like it was analog, and the whole mix is lacking punch in the low end, especially compared to the two versions that came before it. It's missing the intro too which... it works better with the visual, I'll admit, but it still leaves the music track feeling like an abridged version.
    The saving grace of it, I suppose, is that they did at least get to make it. If they had waited a few more years for the technology to catch up with what they wanted to do, they wouldn't have had a show anymore.
    Is too bad for me though since the last couple seasons of the classic series is one of my favourite eras of the show. ;)

  • @EnergyTheFoxProductions

  • @zanderbraincinemas6126
    @zanderbraincinemas6126 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I really like the idea of the 13th Doctor’s opening titles. The first time I saw it, I picked up on the homages to the 1st Doctor’s intro and I loved that. But in practice it just feels cluttered and there’s too much of a color clash for my liking. And frankly, I actually like the face in the vortex.

  • @DoctorVision
    @DoctorVision 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I agree that the 9th/10th Doctor's titles have stood the test of time, considering they're CGI. It's easy to be blinded by nostalgia with them considering, like many other fans, they were the first titles this face saw, so I have a great fondness for them. And in my personal opinion, I don't think they have been bettered. Quality-wise, the 2010 and 13th Doctor titles do rival it, but the 2005 titles do remain the definitive example of what the titles should look like: fast-paced, exciting, adventurous and they seem to have been extremely well-made throughout and they were paired with my favourite themes of the revival so what's not to love?

    I’m probably very biased, but I absolutely adored and still do enjoy the seventh doctors title sequence.
    The bias solely comes from the fact I met Sylvester McCoy and he’s an ABSOLUTE JOY to talk with.
    Along side this he knew my fathers mother cause they lived close to each other which shocked me and my father, but it was.
    I overall enjoyed Sylvester’s Era, I will agree it certainly is dated, but seeing fans update it from what it was to current effects that we have today is gorgeous.
    But it is kinda funny they had to spray Sylvester’s face with some sort of Silver paint spray and I assume this was done so his face could be faded in properly CGI wise whilst not being intrusive.

    Flip 7th doctor and 12th doctor's placement and I'll agree with almost everything. 7th's entrance was technically impressive at the time but man, it has aged badly. The theme is still cool.
    The faces are only an issue for me with the 3rd doctor intros. There's such thing as good campiness like the 6th Doctor's face with his cheeky smile.

  • @LucyliciousDoccyWho
    @LucyliciousDoccyWho ปีที่แล้ว +1

    -Series 7 had the best. All of them were thrilling, exciting, etc.
    -Matt Smith's first one was too slow and too clearly just stormy clouds... like, surely the time vortex is more abstract than that.
    -Capaldi had terrible ones except for the snowy one. The original fanmade one was electric though.
    -Tom Baker's main one is the worst. I like nothing about it.
    -Davison's was good except I can't stand how his face appears in slits. I detest that moment.
    -Jodie's titles are ruined by the last bit of em where it moves really fast while having some sort of flat texture to the squareish walls. I don't know how to describe it but I can't even look at it... it feels like it's trying to make me travel sick.
    -Kinda love McCoy's one.... the asteroids don't look like asteroids, but I can't get enough of the massive 3D letters at the end.
