Enjoy.  The Smugglers - scene 1. orangecow.org/who-sprites2/1videos/smugglersscene.mov(13.5 MB, 1 min 12 sec, Quicktime MP4) Youtube version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyRzUffExIM Artwork by, and animated by, Garrett Gilchrist. Done in Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Moho and Poser. In this first scene from The Smugglers, Ben (Michael Craze) and Polly (Anneke Wills) have just entered the Doctor's TARDIS - and he's none too happy about it, having already set the controls to leave .... |

Excellent. I am no great Dr Who fan compared to some, but I think these efforts are superb. If ever you want an event to showcase your material or work then please let me know. This kind of work is exactly a 'new angle' on a subject that we love to explore, and applaud. Chris Perry www.kaleidoscope.org.uk |

I hope he continues with his project to animate the lost episodes. If the episodes are ever going to be brought back to life, it looks like the fans are going to have to do the job themselves. |

Thanks guys! If any animators or video editors want to help out with animating my artwork, please contact me. It's been hard to put as much work into this project as I have, since the official people have shown negative interest in it, and I do need to have money and eat ...... But I feel this project is worth doing, so I've kept at it .... even without help! Which I definitely need .... More info on my project is here: orangecow.org/who-sprites2/1guide |

Don't listen to the "official" people since the "official" people are currently doing nothing to bring the lost episodes back to life. Your work is appreciated by the millions of Doctor Who fans that never even got an opportunity to watch the lost stories. |

 NEW VIDEO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IHj_WlQGIwEvil of the Daleks 7 - The Final End.  In the final scene of Evil of the Daleks (episode 7 - "The End of the Daleks"), the Doctor reunites with Jamie and Victoria, after the death of Kemel. As the Dalek city crumbles all around them, the Doctor hopes that we've seen the end of the Daleks forever ... the final end ....  To set the scene, this clip begins with 1 full minute of surviving footage edited together from behind the scenes footage found on the Lost in Time DVD (2004). If you haven't already, buy this DVD and support the BBC DVD releases of Doctor Who. The final CGI shot of the burning control room is by Adam Bullock. Adam Bullock also created the CGI rock walls and TARDIS which serve as the background for the dialogue in this scene. Otherwise, all artwork and animation is by myself, Garrett Gilchrist.  The bodies were animated in Moho for 2D work and Poser for 3D work. The heads were animated in Final Cut Pro. I created the 2D bodies with separate arms and legs, creating three full bodies for each character - side, front and back 3/4. Moho, which is now Anime Studio, allows me to take these 2D images and add bones to them, creating a jointed skeleton so the joints can bend and the bodies can move around.  Poser allowed me to create 3D bodies for the characters which I used as the basis for my 2D bodies in Photoshop. The shots of them running, which are the first animated shots you see in this video, were done in Poser entirely, with heads added on in Final Cut. I created a rock walled set for these shots, which is roughly the same set used in my Galaxy 4 shots, as seen in the Humans Are Dead video.  I'm very proud of this clip, which contains about 1 minute of animation. If you'd like a full DVD quality version of it, here it is in M2V format, which is the format used for DVDs. This download is about 100 megs or so. rapidshare.com/files/147988274/finalend.m2v.html |

Excellent work here indeed, is to be highly commended, really liked the monsters clip ! I agree that if the lost episodes of Doctor Who are to be re-animated then they will be from fan efforts, and not from the Official chaps, as they have shown of late that they have no further interest in reanimating lost episodes, though they just did re-animate on the Doctor Who DVD release of The Invasion for the missing episodes 1 and 4 of this adventure.
Your hard efforts here are to be highly commended, that would be great if a showcase for your work could be arranged through Christopher Perry of The Kaleidoscope Group, would be a great step indeed to raising further interest and assistance for your hard efforts.
Cheers, Lance.

I saw your animation of the monsters clip and I was also pleased with your work on the last minute of episode 7 of The Evil of The Daleks. Those clips look great. |

Flight Of The Conchords - nice choice!
Out of interest, your YouTube video page mentions a desire to eventually reanimate all missing Who episodes somehow. Have you thought yet about how to approach those stories with very little photographic record? Something like The Massacre is gonna require a fair bit of creative storyboarding, for instance...

Cheers Stuart --
The Loose Cannon recons of, say, The Massacre and the Myth Makers - both amazing stories and great recons - are more than suitable reference.
I barely follow the original camera angles anyway! When telesnaps exist, I do try to match as many of the telesnaps as possible, but most of the angles I just make up based on what's easy to animate. For several episodes I have the original camera scripts which indicate what the angles were planned to be (and what the dialogue was intended to be before onset adlibbing) - but most of the time I just find those confusing. I enjoy matching a shot to what's in the telesnap, but a vague camera script direction tends to just confuse me as to what exactly the shot should look like.
So - I certainly wouldn't mind at all animating a story without any reference at all as to angles.
Galaxy 4 is one of those - and I did two angles of the Rill today .... I also did Victoria and the Weed Creature from Fury from the Deep in CG, Victoria from The Abominable Snowmen in 3D, and Maxtible from Evil of the Daleks in 3D ... I like to have 3D bodies for my characters, as it helps me pose them the way I like.

FOUR NEW VIDEOS! Available on my Youtube account (ocpmovie). On December 6th, 19 minutes of WhoSprites animation created by myself screened as part of a charity event held by the Kaleidoscope organization in the UK. Admission was free and my animation was a surprise addition kicking off the start of the day's programming. For the event, I created a huge amount of new animation to create roughly one entire episode's worth of material .... including scenes from Evil of the Daleks, Galaxy 4 and The Massacre. Older animations from The Wheel in Space, Marco Polo and The Tenth Planet were also shown. To make that event more special, I didn't release the material publicly. However, now that the event is done, I have released the new material to Youtube as four new videos. (In unrelated news, on my Youtube account I've also been adding new videos from my live action comic book/superheroine film, Shamelessly, and more is coming this week.) I'd like to thank Christopher Perry from Kaleidoscope, who organized the event - having the deadline of a public screening really made me work very hard and complete a lot of new material in a short time. I'd also like to thank Dale Smith who delivered the DVD to the UK on short notice. Here is the new animated material. (In some cases you'll have seen portions of this before, but it's now redone and improved.) Description: WhoSprites is a revolutionary new form of animation developed, drawn and digitally painted by Garrett Gilchrist, specifically designed for the creation of animated lost Doctor Who episodes. These highly complex and detailed digital paintings are designed to accurately capture the look of the original 60s Doctor Who actors, and the feel of these lost classic stories.  Galaxy 4 (Animated Scene) youtube.com/watch?v=A13tT0yhYzEFrom Trap of Steel, second episode of the story Galaxy 4, first broadcast September 1965. The Doctor (William Hartnell) and Vicki (Maureen O'Brien) are having difficulty getting past the deadly robotic guards, the Chumblies. Vicki tests a theory by throwing a rock. Evil of the Daleks: Episode 7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSsQI_7vc8wA 10 minute abridged version of Evil of the Daleks episode 7, "The End of the Daleks" -- one of the greatest stories the program ever created and perhaps the most missed of the missing stories (only episode 2 survives). This features some narration by myself to explain the plot for those who haven't previously listened to the story. The Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon (Frazer Hines) have been taken captive - prisoners in the far future on the Dalek planet of Skaro. They are trapped there with Edward and Victoria Waterfield (John Bailey and Deborah Watling) and the mute strongman Kemel (Sonny Caldinez). The Dalek emperor tries to force the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) to turn all of humanity into Dalek slaves ... and attempts to convert the Doctor into a Dalek slave himself. Working undercover, the Doctor pretends to join with Theodore Maxtible (Marius Goring) while secretly working to start a rebellion among the Daleks, led by a group of Daleks he has given the "human factor" - the ability to question orders. As the Dalek city crumbles all around them, the Doctor hopes that we've seen the end of the Daleks forever ... the final end ....  youtube.com/watch?v=mgdMdhyXL_gThe Massacre (Animated Scene) This is an animated scene from the fourth episode of the lost Doctor Who story The Massacre (of St. Bartholomew's Eve), broadcast in February 1966. It stars William Hartnell as the Doctor and Peter Purves as Steven Taylor. This is just part of what might be the most emotional scene of the entire First Doctor era, as Steven decides to leave the Doctor behind ..... It's well worth listening to this entire story to hear the Doctor's monologue following this scene ..... and finding out what makes Steven decide to stay.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF7W-9TXhusWhoSprites : Starman and Credits Set to David Bowie, this is a little music video that was used as the credit roll for the event on the 6th. I used most of the CGI monster footage previously seen in my "The Humans are Dead" video, but also added a lot of new footage .... I wanted to show off some of the sprites that had been drawn and colored but not animated yet, so we get these characters moving a little bit. Including Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee, Colin Baker and David Tennant .... For a higher quality DVD version of the entire 19 minute programme, click here. It's 658 megs in size. www.megaupload.com/?d=SEJSDB43 |
