Doctor Who: Midnight - CLASSIC EDITION [1963]

Hi!
So I persevered and have completely redone my 'Midnight' Classic Who edition edit. I've trimmed it excessively to just the core scene. The original was about 8 minutes long. But the BBC don't like people having fun.
Hope you guys can enjoy it despite its length.

[@johna5635]

Midnight definitely has the feel of a Classic Who episode - especially the "siege-mentality" Patrick Troughton stories... ironic given David Troughton's involvement!

[@HudsonMedia]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@jaybristowe2346]

Great explanation

[@cbatt91337]

I love Midnight but it really does have so much more atmosphere in black and white.

[@HereticReborn]

Well down. Had a classic feel. Almost a twilight zone episode.

[@HudsonMedia]

As a big fan of Twilight Zone, that’s hugely appreciated aah 😁

[@stevewilliams7880]

This story really feels like a classic who. Lots of dialogue and few effects. All about the acting and they do it so well. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks

[@HudsonMedia]

Thanks Steve! When I first came out with this idea to make these. I knew this episode would HAVE to be high on the list, for the reasons you sighted :)

[@Nargon46]

This is an absolute gem! The music and treatment of the footage is PERFECT. Well done!

[@HudsonMedia]

Thank you! Glad I was able to finally get it out 😁

[@andrewthornley5172]

The only thing you are missing is the odd camera bumping into the scenery.

[@HudsonMedia]

And the odd wobbly set 🫢 (maybe even some Vaseline on the lens)

[@AndrewChapman]

@@HudsonMedia And either the Doctor or one of the actors fluffing a line.

[@dwfan91-]

Absolutely incredible- this is your best work so far! I love the soundtracks you add, so good!

[@spiggly_digg]

DWFAN SPOTTED

[@HudsonMedia]

Thanks man! Aha so cool to see you here and that you enjoy these 😁

[@hotdog1214]

Totally. The soundtrack when Skye turned around was classic 60s and really creeped me out even though I've seen Midnight countless times and knew what was coming.

[@AuroraButterflyx]

This is the best one yet. I love how people spend ages turning 60s who into colour and you're doing the opposite. Although this story could've very easily been a classic who story

[@HudsonMedia]

Thank you so much! 😁 it’s a really interesting experiment. It weirdly shows how much has stayed the same after all these years when it works so well. Thank you for watching :)

[@olived9560]

AAA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! The soundtrack fits perfectly, and both it and its positioning in this is *very* reminiscent of the few 60s stories I've watched, and the way you changed the audio to sound older works so well!! Also cutting it off and making that into a cliffhanger yess

[@hotdog1214]

Amazing! Funny how black and white makes it more atmospheric (its already a super claustrophobic episode) but the soundtrack you've added is chefs kiss! Really does emulate the 60s styling. Sad that I didn't discover your channel before but happy that it was on this one. Superb work. 👌👌

[@HudsonMedia]

Well at least you’ve joined now 😁 so glad you enjoyed this edit!

[@rhyfeddu]

The fact that this had such #2 vibes and David Troughton happens to be in it too makes me giddy. lol Such a creep boost, the vintage atmosphere is perfect, thanks!

[@HudsonMedia]

Thank you so much dude! Yeh it’s uncanny having a troughton in this for a black and white edit 😅

[@Semisonic56]

Great work! Must say I can actually see this story working in the classic era more than others.

[@HudsonMedia]

Yeah I’d certainly have to agree with that! It has everything in common with a Troughton under siege story!

[@00Kequan]

THANK YOU? WTF as a person who started with the 4th doctor and some of classic then went to 9 then 10, I can appreciate this so much omg. It’s perfect. The sound and everything even making it more square!!!!

[@HudsonMedia]

Aha thank you for enjoying it dude! :)

[@Eltonlaleham]

I wish I had been born, in 1963 or even been born earlier in the 1950s

[@HudsonMedia]

Certainly would have been an experience!

[@frontier51]

This is a terrific concept. The opening establishing shot, picture quality, light exposure and soundtrack do a lot. The one problem is the sound mixing. It's hard to make out what anyone is saying. They seem muffled and the music is blasting over them. With more fine tuning this would be genius.

[@HudsonMedia]

It’s a problem I’m always struggling with, with these edits. Because what it sounds like on my computer when editing alters greatly when it’s on KZbin. So I totally agree with that! I make the effort to lower the volume of the music and up the volume of the footage. But alas it never seems to change 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I’m sure I’ll suss it with future edits!

[@frontier51]

@@HudsonMedia Really? Heck! That sucks. I wish I knew how to advise you. That's not in my wheelhouse. I hope you're able to watch a YT video or talk to someone who can help you with it. You're off to a great start.

[@InAHollowTree]

I thought the sound mixing was intentional; very old Who episodes sound just like this.

[@timelordrohan9425]

Oh my goodness this is brilliant! id love to the full episode cut like this!

[@HudsonMedia]

Honestly if there was a back log of New Who episodes like this somewhere I’d love it aha.

[@paradoxic02]

i love love love thee videos and manually lowering the video quality on youtube makes them feel even more real! Awesome editing

[@HudsonMedia]

Yeah, when someone first pointed that out. I was like “oh yeah, what a clever idea” 😂

[@ReversedPolarity]

This is amazing, it really takes me back to the 60's Doctor Who. The similarities are uncanny. You don't see this kind of production anymore but it's absolutely GEEEEE-NI-US.

[@HudsonMedia]

Thank you so much! Means a lot. Yeh the black and white era is one that I think is SO easily overlooked. I think the show at least trying it out a stylistic choice would genuinely be so good!

[@ReversedPolarity]

​@@HudsonMedia I know people may look at this style of production nowadays and say that the audio and visuals are rough or the stage is flimsy, but I remember watching some 80's and 90's shows when I was younger and there's something so eerie about this style that we haven't seen ever again. I just feel very comfortable and uneasy at the same time, and maybe that's part of the reason I love the earlier seasons. They did it in Twice Upon a Time for a brief stint, but doing an episode this way? They will probably never do it, but that would be interesting.

[@HudsonMedia]

For sure! It’s a shame shows are more interested in matching each other rather than doing something different. Very few people of my generation watch black and white that I feel it would be pretty much seen as a “new thing” considering how niche it is. It would be great!

[@jnielson1121]

[@HudsonMedia]

[@Thomas_of_the_forest]

Damn, black and white really does lend itself to this episode!

[@HudsonMedia]

When I think about it I’m like “eh it’s just a filter, who cares.” But then I do it and it always has me finish with “yeh it’s crazy how it can change the whole tone of an episode.”

[@ArchieAndy27]

Sorry to be late to the party, just discovered your channel! Love these, very cleverly done! Its amazing how starry some of these nu-Who era casts were!

[@HudsonMedia]

[@HudsonMedia]

@@skooberto that’s a very good idea! I’ll look into it :)

[@tortysoft]

Artistically brilliant, but historically very wrong. The sound of these old shows - that you emulate so well here - was due to the very poor sound reproduction of the Film Recorder system that for many shows is the only copy we have. The original sound was as good as any today, but was mono back then.

[@HudsonMedia]

Thank you for giving it a watch! I was aiming to make it how most people will remember it rather than the authenticity of the equipment at the time :) Great to learn about how it would have worked back then though. Glad you enjoyed it! (despite its historical inaccuracies)

[@mj88videos]

Can you do silence in the library next

[@mj88videos]

Loved this one tho the 60s vibe made it 10 times scarier

Silence in the Library is definitely on its way :) but want to do a good mix of Doctors!

​@@HudsonMediado you have any 11 or 13 planned? hard to imagine either of them in a 1963-ish style so i'd love to see how they turn out!

[@TobyAJHall]

@@HudsonMedia If you're looking for ideas and want to keep doing the 'scary' stories, then I think The God Complex would be good for 11 and Kerblam! for 13 (the Kerblam Men in black and white would be really creepy).

[@domlo66]

Great work! I guess the only thing you can't get around is the modern series faster editing. The only long takes I can think of are in Rose and The Ghost Monument

[@HudsonMedia]

Yeah that will always be something tricky to work around. But I feel that it’s near-on impossible to get it 100% authentic that I take some creative liberties too where I can :)

[@hotdog1214]

I think you've put your finger on why I find the animated remakes of the missing episodes slightly odd - some of them have an edit that is too choppy, it looks like they are trying to emulate nuwho rather than stick to the slower pace of classic and its strange in the middle of a run when you go from live action 60s style edits to animated 21st century cuts.

[@HudsonMedia]

@@hotdog1214yeah some of the classic who animations can be a little hit or miss. My personal favourites have to be Moonbase and Power of the Daleks :)
