Never understood why the makers of Dr Who didn't think to bring back the sixties Daleks more frequently. They still look great in colour, as well as in black and white. Great to see the amount of sheer hard work that went into this production too. Much appreciated. Well done. ZERINZA!
Best episode of Doctor Who Confidential in years! It really makes you appreciate the effort that went into making the film, and all for no money as well!
I love these kind of videos to give insight on all the effort that goes into any film production. It’s such a wonderful project applause all around for everyone involved!
Great to see TV-style 60's-type Daleks, whether in B&W or Colour! Such mean metallic machine-creatures! We could do with Daleks like these in the parent TV show! Congratulations to all involved, you have made a great Dr. Who film ;D Great prelude to DMP ;D
The Daleks - with all respect to my childhood excitement at seeing them back from time to time - make the most sense in the 1960s. Their flaws are less obvious and (possibly due to the way in which British TV was still an offshoot of the theatre) their stories remained a hybrid of Anglo-American pop culture and the BBC need to remain 'high culture' even when it was doing 'low culture'. This instalment has captured all ends of the market by good acting and harking back to that extraordinary final episode of 'Masterplan', where the ultimate horror is played out as if it's happening live.
I think the key here (and it adds authenticity) is that you find performers and production crew who are used to anything, because that recreates the production line TV aesthetic of the BBC back then. Before the show acquired its 'legacy' it was simply part of a continuum with every other genre piece and survived or died on its innovations. It is we who place emphasis on it.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Might of the Daleks. This making of was the icing on the cake. Thank you for producing this. It is my favourite fan film.
Great behind the scenes... love seeing how it all came together. ❤You should be proud. Wonderful little prelude to The Daleks' Master Plan. Thought I'd point out that the salt lake the Time Destructor was filmed on is called Lake Walyungup and is less than 10 minutes from where I live, here in Rockingham, Western Australia. I literally drive past it every day to and from work. As soon as I saw the salt flats in the film I was like, "Hmm. That looks familiar..." 🙌😊
Great to see all the hard work that went on behind the scenes. Did I spot a Star Trek TNG matte painting outside the set window? Kudos to all involved both in front of and behind the camera!
You sure did! With the turnaround, we needed to get something printed and shipped quickly so lucky I had a nice HQ scan available - a bit of photoshopping, did the job.
Really interesting to see the behind the scenes, because the film itself was incredible, captured that 60s who flavour so well, so it was fun to see how that came about. And not to knock the many talented doctor who fans out there but I think you made the right call aiming to get a cast and crew of non-fans.
What a great video! Brings me back to the days of DW: Confidential on BBC 3 as a child. Loved seeing how you guys created such a great fan film and the behind the scenes, especially how quickly you all were able to do all the filming! The idea to get actual actors and not fans worked really well and made so much sense! Can't wait to see what's next :)
What a fabulous insight. Totally reinforces my positive comments last week on the film. I really loved the focus on film making first....fans second. It totally shows on the finished product. As I stated last time, most fan films (albeit with love) are mostly fans cosplaying.Whereas you guys made a genuinely excellent and entertaining homage to Classic Doctor Who. Josh, I know you mentioned in your reply to my original comment that another film won't be for a while ( due to expense and time) but I say again....more please
Further to other comments, perhaps it underlines the sheer pressure of trying to turn out this show at this level, with minimal resources, for much of the year. And we still criticize actors for messing up...
Just incredible. The work that was put into the project really shows, as you have created something beautiful and exciting. I have now got a craving for even more!
Just curious 😅 Did you have any difficulty with colours looking strange in Black and White? Or did you test different colours to see what would look best?
@@JoshSnares Yeah, the walls came out a lot darker than we expected. Our original colour was a little lighter but when it was mixed for a lower quality paint, it didn't quite match.
I suspect this project will be one of the best contributions to Doctor Who in its 60th year. C'mon Disney and BBC, send Josh and the team the funds to reshoot Dalek Masterplan. I'm sure David Bradley will be up for it.
I JUST WATCHED YOU IN AN EXCELLENT EPISODE OF UNEXPLAINED ABOUT THE FLATWOODS MONSTER, AND NOW I FIND YOU LOVE DR. WHO, FANTASTIC I'M SUBSCRIBING TO YOU!@!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS
Out of interest, whilst I know you wanted to match the original 60s aesthetic, will this be released in colour too at some point? Be interesting to see. But of course not essential.
@@JoshSnares Fair enough. Your creative vision. Maybe you could add a grainy film filter to a colour version and pretend it was a recently discovered 8mm film the Director took for reference. 😁
