Doctor Who: Series 8 2014 - 'Rain' Trailer

My aim with this trailer was to capture the more 'magical' side of the show, rather than the dark-and-gritty approach I usually take. I used After Effects, Maya, Mudbox, and Premiere.

Enjoy!

Peter Capaldi said in a TV special that he loved this. And if you know he likes it you're doing something right.

HOLY CRAP, Peter Capaldi on the series 8 dvd documentary on the world tour shows this video and says that "it's truly beautiful and made by an obviously very talented animator" CONGRATS! OMFG.

Is this who the Doctor is now? Like rain? Beautiful, and sad, and full of hope? Like rain, does he wash away the evil in our hearts, but sometimes can get carried away? Like rain, does he make you feel heartbroken and lonely, and yet calm and blissful at the same time?

I actually teared up when I saw Clara. You captured the magic of Doctor Who perfectly.

[IronSoldier]

You and NeonVisual should totally take over at the BBC on these things.

[RaptorJesus.]

its nice that they're setting the show in england again!

[wigglyziggly]

Damn, 6 years and this still holds up. Beautiful.

Here it is 6 yrs later and I miss the both of them so much. They were the best Tardis team ever. This is my opinion and I won't argue with anyone who has a different opinion. Watching this trailer actually made me cry 😢.
I was a happy person who opened an email from a good friend and just 1 minutes & 18 seconds later, I had tears streaming down my cheeks.
So you know it was well written and acted to evoke emotions like that.

You sir, need to get in contact with BBC itself. This is bloody professionalism at it's highest magnitude.

[diegor]

Beautiful!!! I still can't believe that this trailer is a fan made!

[crafty_geek]

Orders of magnitude better than the BBC's teaser... ORDERS of frickin' MAGNITUDE!

[FilmmakerJ]

For a fan-made trailer, this is both incredibly charming, and very lovingly crafted. It's a mixture of both original and found elements, beautiful CGI graphics, and a brilliant concept. The Doctor Who fans have proven to be some of the most loyal and creative that I have come across. And I am honored to be a part of this fandom finally.

[Beautifullytragic]

You are mind-blowing. Like I don't understand. How? My mind, it doesn't compute.

[IrishPippin]

Oh my, I stumbled upon this video just now, and seeing Clara's smile I started crying.

[jasonng]

I like how he stuck Clara's face on a random body that's bigger than her head lol

[SherlockObsession]

This so perfectly captures the magic of the show that made me first fall in love with the Doctor. I would love to see some more stuff like this on the show, especially with 12 and Clara. Wonderful, beautiful job! You nearly brought me to tears.

[SaraRose]

This was so beautfiul... I still can't believe that this is a fan-made trailer! Fantastic job! :D

[cguy]

Its so cool that rain became an actual plot point in season 8 too

[orangerichard]

i know the characters dont look 100% realistic because obviously they arent real. but seriously you should work for the bbc since you can do special effects as good as the ones in the show

[Dowerealyknow]

I remember me seeing this for the first time. I was so amazed with music and atmosphere. I have watched this so many times
