#completed animation

In 1979, Shada was set to be the celebratory end to the seventeenth series of Doctor Who. Critically acclaimed writer Douglas Adams had completed the script, Tom Baker’s Doctor was at the height of his popularity, and the series had bigger audiences than ever before. But strike action at the BBC in November 1979, meant the studio scenes were never completed and the adventure was abandoned. The story became legendary among fans.

Now, thirty-eight years on, BBC Worldwide has announced that Shada, is to finally be completed, combining the original, remastered footage, with brand new colour animation to complete the story. The animation will feature the newly-recorded voices of the original cast, including Tom Baker as the Doctor and Lalla Ward as Romana, performing the original script. Shada will be released as a a digital download on Friday 24th November, and on DVD and Blu-ray and a Steelbook Edition on Monday 4th December..

Tom Baker says:

“Shada was one of my favourite Doctor Who stories. I have many fond memories of shooting the location scenes in Cambridge, and it was disappointing not to finish the story in studio. I’m so glad that BBC Worldwide have found a way to bring fans a complete visual version.”

The new feature-length production incorporates all of the live-action scenes from 1979, together with new animated material. Shada finds the Doctor in Cambridge working alongside companion Romana and retired Time Lord, Professor Chronotis, to defeat the evil alien Skagra who is attempting to steal the secrets to the prison planet, Shada.

Shada is being produced by the team behind the highly successful and critically acclaimed animation of lost Doctor Who episode, The Power of the Daleks and lost Dad’s Army episode A Stripe For Frazer. The team have had access to nearly seven hours of raw footage from the original 1979 Shada shoot from which they are editing the new production from scratch, with all the original film negatives re-scanned in full HD and digitally remastered.

Paul Hembury, Executive Producer, BBC Worldwide says:

“Fans loved The Power of the Daleks, so we’re delighted to be able to complete and bring them another lost Doctor Who classic.”

So you guys wanna know where I’ve been for the past few days? This right here. This thing occupied most of my time and had me glued to the computer for nearly two days straight. It was timeconsuming, the learning curve was steep, and I haven’t been asleep since Saturday morning (homework for other classes attributed to that part though).

And despite all of that I had a fucking blast making this. It was so much fun, I enjoyed every moment of it, and I have to admit I’m pretty proud of the result, ‘specially since it’s my first attempt at animating in general. :3 The overall idea behind this project was that we had about 5 days to animate 10-15 seconds of our own story, whether it be a clip of something you’d like to make bigger or something that’s legitimately a 10-15 second short story. Mine is an idea I’ve been wanting to produce into a full-length animation once I had the experience and skills to do it, so this is basically a sort of… testing the waters sort of thing for that idea?

But yeah, I had fun, and during the critique I think I did pretty well with it. :3 But showing this animation actually brings me to a question I’ve been wanting to ask.
