Doctor Who Epidemic | Title Sequence

Well... here we go. After months and months of work, this is the final result.
I won't lie, all of this started back in 2019, if I'm not mistaken. It was already finished (I'll upload the old version someday), but I was not happy with that, then I started making it again, improving the concept and visual quality. But there was a huge obstacle: my old PC, the one I used to make my Who intros. My dad bought it for me and my brother back in 2008. The specs of the PC? Intel Celeron 1.80ghz, 2gb ram, no graphic card. Yes... it was a nightmare to create anything in it.
But in 2021 I started working professionally as a motion designer, got a brand new PC, becoming able to render in GPU-based renderers which are very, very fast. And I no longer needed to prune my ideas to fit my PC's capabilities. Now I can freely create my stuff. Since then I think I improved my skills a lot.
The high school. I attended a specific High School here in Brazil for about 4 years (between 2018 and 2022) where I didn't have time for many things, let alone creating something like this (that's why I kinda disappeared). I graduated last year and I WAS FINALLY FREE!! It was like leaving a war.
At the end of 2022, I resumed the project. Some stuff was already done, but I still had a lot of things to do. Since then I've been on this project, trying to create the most impressive visuals: large 3D scenes, breathtaking animations and sound design (such a delicious sound design, I'll upload it someday too), FLIP simulation, particles simulation, pyro simulation. I actually don't think this is incredibly awesome or something, but it's certainly one of my greatest works and certainly gave me some pretty frames I can now use as wallpaper. Joking apart I got a lot of new skills while creating this, I learned, and this is very important. That's how we improve, one step after the other.
You all might be asking who the hell is Miles Giscombe after all. He was actually the guy who emailed me asking me to create this! Doctor Who Epidemic title was created by him and his friends (I guess?), which by the way I personally love [the title]. All he told me in the email was to include the Tower of Pisa, Stonehenge, and biohazard sign. Then I had to reunite this all in a title sequence. It was kinda difficult. If you follow me on Twitter, you certainly know this. But it was also fun!
I really want to say thanks to SalemSound who had been working on the theme song specially for THIS TITLE SEQUENCE!! I'm euphoric with my first opening with a theme made especially for it. Thank you so much, Devon! Thanks for this opportunity. I really hope you guys love this as much as I did!
I also want to thank Miles, my Twitter followers, and my friends for putting up with me for 4 years talking about this every single day. Hope you like it! 💙

[@Valox]

This is absolutely stunning, definitely one of my favourite title sequence on KZbin!! The way the TARDIS thuds down and the camera swings through the lantern is easily the best part for me!

[@onvfx]

Valox is here!!! 😁 Fun fact: that's also my favourite scene 💖

[@DavidMuri-lm5vy]

​@@onvfx This is so cool! 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@zachradoux2038]

This intro really has a feel of a serial focused on a zombie virus, like the Doctor comes back to Earth at some point in history to find it ravaged by an epidemic leaving the landmarks we see in the intro abandoned. Might be a dumb idea but it would fit I think

[@liamseabolt3597]

This is definitely one of the best Doctor Who sequences I’ve ever seen and one of THE most epic Doctor Who themes I’ve ever heard! If SalemSound is planning on releasing a full theme, I’d love to hear it. Amazing job on this! 😁

[@onvfx]

Thanksss! 💖 I do agree with you about this epic theme

[@gordybear-1]

im so obsessed with this, I looove how the words interact with the light of the sequence instead of being separate!!

[@PsychoTrenchcoatKid]

The Doctor fights their most threatening enemy yet.. Covid. Though holy shit, this is absolutely incredible!!

[@onvfx]

I can even imagine an episode like this hahaha

[@zomboyagegaming6356]

Damn, Miles Giscombe playing both companion and writer. Props to him

[@entitythegreat9106]

Never seen something more stunning. Also the leaning tower of piza nearly made me crack up the first time through :)

[@ember.mp3]

keep coming back to this becuase the scene with the logo appearing with the music is just something else I love this i can really imagine a bunch of non infected people gathering into the tardis and its the current interior

[@officialfallenfx]

this is amazing I love the transitions and the lighting

[@SyFyKeeper2024]

If Doctor Who made another movie ❤

[@swingfire2128]

For real its like a made for movie!

[@kathyclark3752]

Holy cow This .. Just wow I'm speechless I've seen so many fan made intros but this one by far is the mosr unique ive seen.

[@BanthaBoi]

Wow, very unique, the soundtrack is awesome and the visuals have such good impact too them, great work!

[@TheBlueWhoReview]

INCREDIBLE! I could really see this as a series similar to the style of Flux. This is so dark and mysterious. I love it well done mate! 💙

[@onvfx]

Thank you so much 💖

[@TheBlueWhoReview]

@@onvfx No problem, can't wait to see what you do next! 😄

[@voltage4176]

This is beautiful work! It’s definitely a unique take and I like it!

[@onvfx]

Thank you so much 💖

[@SceneSurgeSnippets]

Absolutely epic, cinematic and looks gorgeous

[@galaxyskate9585]

That was phenomenal. Loved the whole theme you went with here - really gives it a unique style!

[@onvfx]

SalemSound is so talented!! You can check out more of his themes on his youtube channel (link in the description)

[@SyFyKeeper2024]

I love the sound at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="24">0:24</a>, it gives it that God-like feeling ❤😊

[@UNIVERSE_X_STUDIOS]

VERY UNDERRATED. This is incredible work! Love the tone and visuals! Also that doctor who theme cover is very epic

[@onvfx]

Thank you!! I totally agree about the theme song 🤩 SalemSound definitely rocked!

[@vitaliylomanoff1759]

​@@onvfx Please To The Full Theme!!!

[@ryanhasproblems]

2 weeks and only 2,000 views for one of the most unique intros I’ve seen out of hundreds? Tf? 💀

[@onvfx]

Thanksss 💖 I think KZbin algorithm doesn't like me hahahaha

[@MrPaulFCockburn]

Unique? It’s mostly a spinning police box going down a space-time tunnel. Those are a dime a dozen on KZbin, and precisely NOT what the series needs just now.

[@berenvonbaggins]

@@MrPaulFCockburn I'm sure Miles really appreciated seeing someone comment that his intro was "a dime a dozen." Besides, it's a fan creation, not a proposition for an official sequence.

[@SplashTheBird]

oh man my fav doctor, john smith!!! (this is gorgeous btw)

[@kommandantgalileo]

I like to think that this opening would be used for a Doctor Who spinoff that is literally just social distancing + alien invasions, and the aliens just keep dying of Covid.

[@banjopiggottwright1802]

Incredible work, hats off to you good sir

[@onvfx]

Thanks!! 😁

[@ZarbiDW]

Stunning. Just stunning

[@mylowpolygon6290]

Amazing visuals. Love green colour palette.

[@hibiki8hibiki]

[@DesertWolf392]

Top 5 of all the ones I've seen over the years. Completely different, so off the field it's fantastic

Thank you!! 😁

[@Jay2480]

[@timewarproductions4661]

[@m.quarty]

T-The... Leaning Tower of Pisa 🥺🥺🥺🥺 This works it's absolutely stunning, greetings... from Pisa 😏

[@onvfx]

Are you from Pisa? That's awesome hahaha! Thank you so much 💖

[@HomicidalPandaHD]

That tardis flyby at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="40">0:40</a> is just stunning

[@GGLinnk]

On est vraiment loin mais LOINS des premières vidéos ! Excellent !

[@onvfx]

Yeah, I did evolve my skills a lot haha thank you 😄

[@GeekRambles]

Holy shit this is incredible! Different, but incredible nonetheless 😱

[@m4str8brun50]

Incrível! Sensacional! Alucinante! Brilhante! Aaaa Isso definitivamente poderia ser o tema de abertura de um Spin-Off de DW feito pela BBC!

[@onvfx]

🤩💖

[@dandealmeida2678]

Excelente!

[@The___Master]

your vortex is with Houdini ?

[@onvfx]

it was actually in c4d. i don't know very well how to make vortex haha but for this one I used a photo of an aurora boreal in a tube and animated the uv. the houdini was just for the initial part (water splash, procedural cliffs and smoke sim)

[@The___Master]

@@onvfx okay I see

[@The___Master]

@@onvfx Oh ok

[@dalekbbcfan1582]

I would love to see a Walking Dead or Last of us styled Doctor Who series.

[@jozito01]

Vi que vc é brasileiro, parabéns mano isso está incrível.

[@onvfx]

Simmm!! Sou sim. E mineiro ainda por cima kkkkkkkkkkkk. Muito obrigado 💖

[@jcmvillejcmville3460]

Wow

[@Jacx_DoctorWho]

Thanks 💖 I think it's because I'm not that active here haha

[@JanetHearne]

It is very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@onvfx]

Thank you so much 😀

[@JonSmith-fr7ep]

Oooh imagine the Doctor lands on earth in the near future in the midst of a Zombie virus Epidemic caused by the Master in order to resurect the Time Lords in his own image

[@swingfire2128]

Sounds like i am watching movie

[@YankeePendragon]

Yes! Atmospheric, almost sinister, and with that single-world subscript hinting at catastrophe beyond imagining!! LOVE THIS!!

[@onvfx]

Thanksss!! 😀

[@vitaliylomanoff1759]

Hmm, There Must Be A Official Title Sequence For The 60th Anniversary Or Not.

[@vitaliylomanoff1759]

And Also Doctor Who - The Cripple Doctor (Ricky Berwick) Full Theme Tardis Interior: Archaic TARDIS From Second Life

[@onvfx]

I'll think about it hahaha

[@CatrevengeMc]

Really like the idea of using John Smith instead of a real actor's name.

[@dowitch8457]

Great work! What is the name of the theme song? Can't find it

[@onvfx]

Thanks 😀 SalemSound made this theme for the intro, but it's not yet released. You can subscribe to his channel because he said he was going to upload it someday!!

[@Serge_Jackson]

You should do a longer version

[@onvfx]

Definitely thinking about this 🤔 There are some unreleased alternative versions.

[@axelend12]

Wow.the best theme.version without fx?

[@onvfx]

SalemSound told me he's going to release it on his YT channel. Make sure you're subscribed to his channel 😁

[@murraymint8599]

Could I please use the soundtrack in this for the intro of my Lego Doctor Who series I would really appreciate it if you could let me use it I will obviously put you as the owner

[@onvfx]

I'm not actually the owner haha. You can try to reach SalemSound who made this awesome theme song for the intro

[@murraymint8599]

Oh! Thanks for telling me I will definitely be trying that!! 👍

[@joaomarcoscarvalho10]

Awesome. I think it is official. Isn't

[@onvfx]

Is it? Might be 😂😂 thxxxx!!

[@Jacob_Does]

i recently discovered this! this feels like a cinematic intro that could lead into a movie about a virus infecting the time stream! it feels very short and to the point like most intros for doctor who should be, and has the tardis as the "main character" which i feel even newer BBC intros fail to have. not sure if anyone noticed it but there sounded like the tardis' distressed sounds playing right before the title, and it feels right for something called epidemic.

[@onvfx]

thanks!! glad you liked it. by the way, it was supposed to have more sound fx of the tardis distressed but I forgot to add it 😭

[@Jacob_Does]

@@onvfx regardless it's still amazing! You did a good job!

[@ozmond]

Ok?

[@X08-Chill]

What fans make continues to blow me away, especially considering the Seventh Doctor Intro was the height of BBC cgi at the time and now fans are making intros of this quality

[@FlagadossSupreme]

Pandémie > Épidémie

[@onvfx]

Doctor Who Pandemic (a 2020 story)

[@dave8817]

who's Miles

[@onvfx]

Read the description 😄

[@TIMEANDRELATIVEDIMENSION-sg9rq]

Eh, tbh i forgot i was watching a title sequence for a moment, until the names came up. I'm not calling it bad, its stunning but it feels off.

[@onvfx]

I like to break the rules, that's exactly what this intro is about. Read the description 🤞
