This video, and many others like it, were created by fans of the Dr. Who series with the announcement of the retirement of Matt Smith as The Doctor, there was a lot of speculation as to who it would be, and people were creating mash-ups, like this one, combining the work of actors who were suspected to play the part, such as Peter Capaldi, who did indeed play the roll, and combining them with clips, music, etc. While made by a fan, I still think that this is reasonably high quality, but I am not sure about the choice of music, which was obviously chosen to emphasize the rumors, propagated by the show's writers, that the new Doctor would be much darker than he had been in previous incarnations.
Most of the videos related to Dr. Who are mash-ups of content from the series, music, critique, or speculation. The fans certainly make up a community and are passionate about the show, but I am not sure that they actually influence the writers all that much.
Isn't it sad how often that happens? Fans can be really passionate, but except for a few rare cases( like Firefly) fan response only does so much after the producers make up their mind. :(
ReplyDeleteI agree that the video is well done. The film editor did a great job of using montage and other special effects. The music and images selected to create this fan video did seem to make the new Doctor especially dark. Maybe they were trying to get more people interested in Doctor Who by appealing to a darker audience?
