Rewatching Classic Doctor Who, some episodes I haven't seen in years, some of the animated reconstructions I haven't seen at all.

And some episodes I haven't seen since last week.

The Daleks (now in glorious Dalekolour™)

I'll warn you up front, I'm generally not a fan of colorizations/special editions/re-edits so expect a bit of a grumpy post. But I'll try to be fair, I promise.

The episode starts with some extremely dodgy animation instead of the original linking material. It also starts with the intro in color, switches to black and white (apart from the credits which are in color) and then fades in the color and... why? An unnecessary and distracting flourish. The Wizard of Oz did this better nearly 90 years ago.

The colorization itself is quite good, I assume they were working off production documents (the Daleks are in their original colors, of course) but regardless the whole palette is a good match for SciFi film and TV of the era, as opposed to something more muted, moody, or modern. Compare and contrast with Forbidden Planet (1956), Queen of Outer Space (1958), or Star Trek (1966). The upconversion to HD video (and 50FPS?) went as well as it could, some parts of the episode are soft focus with lots of film grain but so was the original.

The music and sound design however is terribly distracting. Not an improvement on the original in any way, it's wildly out of place both stylistically and technically, at points directly in competition with the dialogue. Also, the Daleks received extensive re-writes and in some cases were re-voiced by Nick Briggs which is.. odd. I do have to admit enjoying the inclusion of the cloister bell in the initial fluid link sabotage scene, however, even if was a retcon.

Some of the re-editing was ok, some was intrusive. Constant cutaways to b-roll as if you were likely to forget something that happened 5 to 10 minutes earlier (or just might get bored watching a take longer than a minute) were a major distraction. Some of the digital additions, for instance adding footage to the Daleks' screens, worked well. Others, like William Hartnell "dodging" a Dalek beam that hadn't been there 60 years ago were forced. The digitally animated TARDIS dematerialization is actually worse than the original analog video mix effect. The pace is extremely quick now, much of the tension and suspense of the original story is lost along with the "Dals" origin of the Daleks, for better or for worse. But all in all, it's all right I suppose. I wonder if I would have been easier on it if I hadn't just watched the original.

The "And then the story continues.. for 60 years" teaser was nicely done. A great mix of moments from the First Doctor's stories including some tidbits from missing or rarely seen stories. Hat's off to whoever got the clip of the Beatles from The Chase in there.

Next up: The Sensorites, for real this time.

Not too sure on who took the photo since I've been trying to find a name. But I decided to colourize this image and sharpen it.

This is a colourization I did of author Alice Walker. She was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for literature for her book ‘The Color Purple’. 

I got the original b+w from Tumblr but I didn’t bookmark the original so I can’t find it.

Happy Independence Day Finland!

Finnish sentry from the Infantry Regiment 7 (Regiment of Tyrjä) at the Ohta sector, December 6, 1942.

We are proudly conscious of the historic duty which we shall continue to fulfil; the defence of that Western civilisation which has been our heritage for centuries.

Commander-in-Chief’s Order of the Day No. 34 •••••••• Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää Suomi!

Jalkaväkirykmentti 7:n (Tyrjän Rykmentti) vartiomies Ohdan lohkolla itsenäisyyspäivänä, 6.12.1942.

Meillä on ylpeä tietoisuus siitä, että meillä on historiallinen tehtävä, jonka me edelleen täytämme; länsimaisen sivistyksen suojaaminen, joka vuosisatoja on ollut meidän perintömme.

Ylipäällikön päiväkäsky N:o 34 •••••••• [ sa-kuva | 116408 | J.Taube ]
