Doctor Who - 'Space Babies' Title Sequence FIXED

Although I am pleased with the visual improvements made to the RTD2 era Doctor Who title sequence, I think the timing and sound design thereof could have been refined; here is my attempt at doing so.

[@RoyaleNoir]

I think the intro for Space Babies was out of sync because they started the music from the start of the footage, not taking into account the extra length of the sting sound (this also happened a lot in series 8 and 9) The Devil's Chord has the intro in sync again

[@Moggetslittlesister]

We'll have to see if next week's episode gets it right, since the Devil's Chord intro was pretty out-of-the-ordinary.

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

All they needed to do was include the opening segment showing the TARDIS lamp in order to keep the audio and visuals in sync, rather than using the standard opening seen in the 2023 specials.

@@FawzanSiddiquiIs that some kind of official bit at the start with the lamp, or is that something you made?

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

@@robertholt3996It’s from the official full title sequence.

[@BurgerMuncher-ui5jn]

This looks perfect. I liked that they improved the timing with the logo for the new season but it just annoyed me that the original synths didn’t sync up the way the originally did in the 60th specials. Great job! Just wish they’d perfect the real thing

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

Thank you very much, and I agree.

[@TheMultiGamerOfficial]

Only downside is that you've cropped it down to 16:9 instead of keeping it in 18:9.

How'd you get the extended shot of the bulb?

[@Skyehye3113]

In the version the doctor who name comes up too early

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

It emerges at roughly the same point as in the 2023 title sequence, to whose sync I am adhering, here.

[@Skyehye3113]

@@FawzanSiddiqui no I mean in general like in all other themes it comes up later on in all the earlier themes

[@isack_hs]

it's meant to be that way so that the main melody begins with the tardis bursting through the clouds. there's a heavier emphasis on the bassline and drums when the names come up too, so it's all very intentional - just different to what you're used to.

[@Blazing_Ninja]

Do you mind if I use this video to make a version with a Lego Tardis? I’ll credit you in the description

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

Sure!

[@Blazing_Ninja]

@@FawzanSiddiqui Thanks!

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

@@Blazing_Ninja No problem.

[@Blazing_Ninja]

​​@@FawzanSiddiquiIts out, now!

[@StarryBakari]

This version is great - it’s got the “fix” but also the sync from before :)

[@nightshade807]

I think it only didn’t work for Space Babies because of no cold open. So much better with the sync!!

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

Thank you.

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

@@nightshade807 I am surprised that they did not simply use the full version of the title sequence visuals to allow for the sting to sync adequately, as I have done here.

[@nightshade807]

@@FawzanSiddiqui definitely, it seems like such an easy fix as well.

[@tzarg]

where did people get the start part from? I swear I haven't seen that in either episode also man it's so weird seeing it so perfectly lined up with the music

[@SceneSurgeSnippets]

pretty sure it's from one of the first Doctor Who Unleashed episodes

[@thecoiler1]

What’s fixed? I don’t understand

[@FawzanSiddiqui]

In the episode, the visuals of the title sequence are out of sync with the audio, and the audio at the end is unrefined.

[@thecoiler1]

@@FawzanSiddiqui oh dang, I hadn’t noticed. Eagle eyed folks here 😂 Hope they fix it in the other episodes

[@platypusnoise]

This intro alone tells you the show isn't Doctor Who anymore. Too fast, too loud, stupid camera cuts. It feels like an action scene instead of traveling through the time vortex

[@SGTRandleOneOne]

Really? I don't get that from this. Yes it's faster but why is that bad thing? Doctor Who was faster when it was revived in 2005.

[@isack_hs]

your first statement disqualifies any validity in what you've said afterwards lol

[@daiyahigashikata]

you might be a little confused. it definitely says "doctor who" in the title
