Doctor Who | TARDIS Materialisation / De-materialisation Compilation (2005 present) | 2023 Edition

As the new year approaches, it feels like the perfect time for another TARDIS materialisation / de-materialisation compilation (the 6th edition by my calculations - how far we have come!), so here it is updated up to Christmas 2023. However, please don't expect another until next Christmas. Let's give those materialisations a chance to build up a bit.
This year's edition rounds the total up to 257, so not a huge advance but significant nonetheless, with two more Doctors to add to the roster.
As ever, the rule of thumb with these compilations is that the TARDIS has to be seen landing or departing on screen, with no sneaky panning camera angles counted (unless a fade-in is seen), or cuts to the TARDIS without seeing it land.
Upon the publication of this video, the 2022 edition will become unlisted. However, if you want to it, or any of the previous editions, they be found in this playlist:

It's amazing how a single light bulb not flickering can cause so much annoyance amongst fans, myself included.

[@g.l.vstudios3104]

I'm not annoyed by it. I just accept it

[@swanboyproductions]

Yk what I love of the materialisation at 1:12 just as the tardis disappears you can just notice the snow that was on it, blow away in the wind and that’s what I loved

[@DoctorVision]

Yes, the attention to detail in the early series was something to behold.

[@user-xd1cm9vu9s]

i can’t believe i just watched a police box appear and disappear for half an hour

[@DoctorVision]

Well I hope it was a half hour well spent 😂

[@user-xd1cm9vu9s]

@@DoctorVision it definitely was lol

[@messytexy]

I started laughing when in Wild Blue Yonder the Doctor pushed the TARDIS with his foot like a skate board! 😂

[@DatCartoonistGuy]

No... like a HOVER board! Eat yer heart out, McFly!!!

[@StudiosMurphy]

I'm saddened that the effect is kind of off sometimes in the 60th and christmas specials but hopefully it will be back in top form for season 1/ series 14

[@jakesinclair69420]

It is the new special effects, it is modern and up to date, it won't be back to the way it was

[@StudiosMurphy]

@jakesinclair69420 totally I just mean the lamp flashing again since it's been lacking in recent years

[@scarpergirl]

Series 1 still has the best 'general' materialisation effect, where there's a subtle effect that must have been painstaking to achieve - if you look through you can see through one side of the TARDIS box to the other side as it materialises, It's something they stopped doing because I guess it was too much effort and not many people noticed, but it really is a '3D' materialisation effect rather than a two dimensional image being faded up. Like at 1.46 you can briefly see through to the right hand side of the box before it fully materialises, and at 1.57 you can even see the blue floor of the TARDIS box briefly before it totally vanishes. It also happens at 11.55 where you can see the left and back of the box subtly.

[@DoctorVision]

Yes, I also like what they did in Series 4 by having the shape form before the box materialised and vice versa when it de-materialised.

[@friendlyotaku9525]

I won't lie, I was a bit disappointed to see that the lamp no longer flashes again, we were making such good progress during Jodie's era... weirdly in Destination: Skaro when the TARDIS is flying towards Skaro you can see the lamp flashing there. The box still looks absolutely gorgeous though, I'm so glad 13's TARDIS exterior is being kept, best one by far imo!

[@DoctorVision]

Yes, it's a shame the effect isn't remaining consistent. It does make me wonder whether that VFX company responsible keeps changing, as the same one was used throughout the RTD1 era (The Mill) and partway through Matt Smith's era, hence why the effect didn't change much. Hopefully it will stablise though and the flashing lamp will return. I do like 13's exterior, though I'll always have a soft spot for 9 & 10's due to nostalgia. 11 & 12's I liked but I felt especially in Capaldi's era it looked too much like a toy/prop, especially in shots on location.

[@friendlyotaku9525]

@@DoctorVision I had a look into it and what I found out is rather surprising: The Star Beast's VFX were done by Untold Studios whereas Wild Blue Yonder's VFX were done by Realtime Visualization and The Giggle and The Church on Ruby Road's VFX were done by Automatik VFX with the latter also having Additional VFX by Egg VFX and BBC Wales Graphics. I'm unsure who did VFX for Destination: Skaro however but it does seem a little bit all over the place in just 4 episodes whereas Jodie's era largely had one main VFX studio and that was DNEG with additional VFX by Ben Pickles (aka John Smith VFX), Zodiak VFX and of course, BBC Wales Graphics and yeah, I hope so too, I'd like the effect to go back to being more consistent with the flashing lamp. And I agree, Capaldi's TARDIS exterior could look really good in certain scenes but in other scenes it could look a bit plastic-y, like a toy as you said!

[@TwilightZebby]

I still think 29:36 was the TARDIS showing off for the fun of it 🙃

[@TotherKoala]

Definitely, it knew exactly how those events would go thanks to the Hostile Action Defense system telling it exactly when to come back

[@SamuelBrownFilms]

What I will say is that the shots in Wild Blue Yonder and The Church on Ruby Road are very impressive for these sort of over the shoulder shots where characters appear over the dematerialisation. 29:31 & 30:24 specifically

[@yannatoko9898]

Hooray! Another TARDIS materialisation video, what an honour. It is a shame how the effects sort of get worse as it goes on, I thought in the latest episode, no snow falling off, they managed that in Series 1! But I suppose the production crew no longer tend to think of the materialisation as a crucial exciting effect except for particular occasions. Quite remarkable number 14 was able to get through 10 in only three episodes. Thanks!

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

I'm not complaining. About any tardis sounds. As they ALLLLLL sound. Closely. The same. I'm just happy that they kept the tardis sound. Ever since the very first doctor. For ALLLLLLLL these years. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Mxtt_Hxll]

At least there is a *new-ish* effect in some of the materialisations from the 60th and Ruby Road. I like that it’s been changed up at least a little bit.

[@TheOfficialArtOfAsh]

Who knew scraping your front door key against a piano string make a sound so iconic.

[@coecludd]

Lovely update - nice one DoctorVision - thanks for still inking my classics at the end🙂btw - the recent Christmas special had the de-materialisaion sound condensed at the end instead of the continued gradual fade out during this episode. I thought that this was because this Tardis is technically a copy of the original that the 14th Doctor went off with. However, after re-watching The Giggle, the 15th Doctors Tardis had the usual fade out. (I know I shouldn't be bothered by such things).

[@DoctorVision]

Can't say I noticed myself. Though I am relieved that no one has pointed out that I haven't included the Isaac Newton one as it was the TARDIS flying around not materialising/de-materialising so in my opinion it doesn't count.

[@coecludd]

@@DoctorVision yeah, it’s a tough one as it’s just “flying” rather than “appearing out of thin air”. Anyway, thanks again for your update 😊👍

[@friendlyotaku9525]

It's not a copy, RTD has confirmed that! It is the exact same TARDIS

[@chr888888]

owning a tardis would be so much fun lol

[@user-im7vi7tw5w]

Irks me that the sonic isn't in the keyhole when materialising at 29:40

[@FF9F00]

11:32 and 11:43 have got to be my favourite TARDIS moments in the entire series. The wind, the lightning effects and the gravity of the situation (it truly feels like a spaceship is taking off / landing) is what I love about these 2 scenes, not to mention the music. Series 5 was a lot like a fairytale, and I hope they return to that formula in following series 🥲

[@LCBK]

I’m just gonna say season 1 ep 4 Micky running into the wall was funny

[@DoctorVision]

I don't think you're alone and I think it's supposed to be 😂

[@purple_helix4460]

Sutekh!

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

I wouldn't mind . Actually seeing. The ponds return in a. Story. Of some kind,,,,, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Aimyx]

Might be a big ask, but i couldn't find any videos of every mat/demat from the interior, could you one day eventually do this?

[@DoctorVision]

Erm maybe, I never really thought of doing that.

[@MightyMarioBros378]

29:31 you can Kind of see the Tardis corners for once but the dematerializing was bad overall

[@rufavulpes]

Is calling the Tardis a “wooden box” considered an insult-

[@warrenhennessy7684]

I hope it comes back on ABC Melbourne Australia with David Tennant and Donna again then the toy maker l AM 60years old l still love The doctor AND he's companions God bless you all happy 60th birthday Dr who

[@Cloouddd]

what is theme at the end (edit: sounds like 14th series x 8th/9th/10th series)

[@amustard001]

Why did they get rid of the burst of wind!?

[@LCBK]

12:35 what’s 9 or 10 doing in series 5

[@Jamestopboy]

I am going to make a controversial statement. It’s NOT the effect that looks bad, it’s that the effects are too quick. The classic series established its meant to be exactly *five* vwoorps before the TARDIS materialises/dematerialises. That gives time for the fade in to be gradual. Any *less* than that makes it look janky.

[@DoctorVision]

I think the problem is, the new series established a consistent effect when it returned. Sure, the light effect changed as time went on but the box always faded in or out slowly, like it did in the classic era. When later they started fiddling with the effect - fading right in and then right out again - that just didn't look right and made it look shoddy and inferior quality in comparison.

[@Jamestopboy]

@@DoctorVision Well, my point is this: go back and look at the ones where it fades right in and out. That *only* happens on landings where there's LESS than five VWOORPS. When it's a LONGER stretch of them, the fading is slower.

[@user-Jerma-Enjoyer]

I'll will say the most Cursed Thing I'll say: When the Tardis Materialisation to De-materialisation, I came.

[@ProPixel2]

its kinda sad that even with the disney money most of the materialisations from the new era look worse than the ones from S1-6

[@DoctorVision]

I guess it just isn't a priority anymore with all the other CGI effects to splash out on.

[@mattymoomoo9987]

Fun fact matt Smith might come back as the 16th Doctor after nucti's run as the doctor ends they might bring back matt Smith as the 16th Doctor it hasn't been confirmed yet but that'll be nice because matt Smith is my favourite actor but something that has been confirmed is that nucti gatwa is only doing 2 seasons
