Five Doctors and Awakening HD Versions

Now available to download on my vimeo site these are the final HD versions of Five Doctors and Awakening Short Form edits.

You can find my reasonings behind the Awakening edit in my previous article.

If you have any comments or feedback on either of these please do respond to this article!

I have started work on two further stories -

• Three Doctors - but it's annoying the hell out of me
• Warriors of the Deep - this is going well and about a quarter of my way through!

Will be sure to update when there's more news to be had! :)

Five Doctors Short Form - UPDATED Final Edit (Probably)

Ok, so posted up tonight is the (probably) final version of my Five Doctors edit, now including the new titles.

You can access and download it on my vimeo page or view it in the player below.

As mentioned previously I'm not going to get into the decisions taken on this edit here as I'd much rather you gave it a look and then let me know what you think! :)



As always feedback much appreciated!

Cheers

Adam

Five Doctors "Short Form" Feedback

Would welcome any feedback on the short form edits of Five Doctors, so here's the place to do it! You can find the latest versions at https://vimeo.com/agentpurple

I have also added a full 1hr version which you are probably better to download rather than trying to stream.

As you need to sign in there to provide feedback I'd be very grateful if you can provide any comments here instead!

As mentioned previously the purpose of this edit is to try to recreate this classic serial as a one hour special. Also please note that I have simply edited the material and have not re-mixed the music soundtrack or played around with special effects.

A few people have asked me to provide some information on what I have done with the edit, however I'd rather ask you to view this version without my summary bringing to your attention what I have removed. What I will say is that top priority in my mind was that the story flowed and made sense. When you take that view, some well loved scenes are bound to be sacrificed I'm afraid!

All feedback very welcome but please do be constructive :)

Cheers

Five Doctors - the whole thing inside an hour?

What's all this then?? Basically what we are trying to do is to create a "short form" version of this classic story by removing padding, tightening up the pace, and ultimately creating a version of the story that might be more accessible to a modern audience. By no means are we wishing to detract from the original but we hope that this edit maintains the critical story-line and makes for an interesting take on this classic story!

In terms of the material, we have taken the most recent special edition which was nearly 120 minutes in length compared to the original 90 minute special. We would believe that one 2hr edition like this could be reduced to 1 hour and a four part serial could be edited to 45 minutes.

As fans we have prioritised the story narrative over all else, and as a result some classic "nice to have" scenes have been cut (much to our inner fan outrage!) but we hope the end result makes for interesting viewing. We hope to upload the hour long story in 5 parts.

I will just note that this is simply a fan edit of The Five Doctors for non profit making exploratory purposes so I do of course acknowledge and respect all copyrights. Having had little experience of video editing please forgive if it's a little rough round the edges! It has been uploaded in a reasonable quality format for ease of viewing.

Feedback welcome ... but do remember our intention is to investigate the possibility rather than create a polished gem that is perfect in every way!! ;)
