Very pre-vis.

oddbox83 · 12-08-2023, 03:45 PM

Very how the hell is this being released purporting to be a professional product.

GreatUncleBaal · 12-08-2023, 04:05 PM

Yeesh, this is not great.

First release I'll avoid and wait for the boxset.

Krynoid-Man · 12-08-2023, 04:23 PM

I kind of like the animation style myself, although admittedly the faces could be more expressive

exidor · 12-08-2023, 05:01 PM

It looks like it falls into the same trap that a lot of fan CG animation falls into. If the camera doesn't have a reason to move, don't move it. If it does have a reason to move, move it like it's subject to gravity, friction, inertia and all the other things that affect how objects move in the real world. Don't just float it from A to B because you can.

I mean, aside from the very odd character design choices.

CGI from 31 years ago…

That animation is still awesome to me even though it's obviously dated.

Cover art for the US release (which presumably will also be what we get over here)

It's interesting not to have an image of the Doctor in front, but I don't mind it.

Is it a live concert where the TARDIS starts singing?

I wonder if the audio is going to be edited to remove the racial slur, or if it's going to be kept as is.

It has been edited. Mark Ayres confirmed this on Twitter back when the animation was first announced.

You call it censorship.
I call it fixing a mistake, which is always a good thing.

RossyG · 02-20-2024, 08:49 PM

Yep, I always call cutting films and TV censorship.
