VFX Breakdown for Doctor Who during 2005-2010 Using footage from Doctor Who Confidential, Totally Doctor Who and some breakdowns, as well as behind the scenes photos
Insanely true, glad I'm not the only one that feels like this. It's surreal to think about how they managed to do so well with their budget back then too!
Thank you for posting this all in one place - there’s so many clunkers in terms of VFX shots in RTD1, but also *so* many examples of when the VFX is so well done it’s practically invisible.
I swear the gas mask coming out of Dr Constantine would be nowhere near as horrific if it was done today. The 2005 graphics seem to have that uncanny valley feel, whereas today I think it’d look like Venom or something
It’s a shame there aren’t many photos of the TARDIS/Taxi chase from The Runaway Bride, that was a really impressive scene with effects that hold up pretty well even by today’s standards!
Must be a lot of interact with this which isn't there, stare out at a greenscreen and imagine it's something else. It's like the adult version of playing pretend.
