Doctor Who?

I have started to create a Doctor Who fan series, and at the moment it is going along quite nicely. I have a general outline of where I want the short series to go, with some genuinely good ideas, and have started to write at least two scripts.

Every episode will be put up on YouTube, so that means that each episode will be roughly 10 minutes long for single parters, and longer for multi-parters of which there will be quite a few including what I intend to be the season finale.

Since the runtime is so short, a title sequence that is equally short yet memorable needed to be made. So I began work on one recently, and have now finished the first version of it. Check it out:


The sequence isn't finished yet, as I obviously need to tweak it a fair bit still. Things to tweak will be:
  1. The flight of the TARDIS, as I am not quite happy with it yet.
  2. Getting a version of the theme tune to go with it.
  3. Fixing the 'Doctor Who' logo (which isn't really a logo), and it's timing.
  4. Changing the timing of the episode title and by-line.
After those things are done, and once the first few scripts are finally complete, I will begin casting some voice actors. One thing I will be doing is getting the voice actors to provide me with two profile shots of themselves, so I can try to match their characters appearance to their own so that they are essentially in the episodes. Which would be quite a nice thing for them, I suppose.

Until next time.
