Dalek Empire Animation: Escape from Carson's Planet

- A short clip from the Big Finish audio Dalek Empire: Death to the Daleks!
If you're familiar with the original audio, you'll know I've chopped it around a bit, either to make it easier to animate or to better serve the visual narrative I wanted to tell.
This is all made in Blender, mostly rendered in Eevee. It took the best part of a year, so no, I won't be doing a full audio!

If I've missed anyone else off, please let me know. I tried to keep notes but this video took a long time to make and it's possible I forgot something.
Shows that Daleks can exist quite happily with modern SF design aesthetics and visual storytelling... Dalek Empire needs to be remade as live action or, like this, high quality animation
Thanks! Yeah, I think the Daleks are pretty timeless and can fit very nicely into modern sci-fi.
I'm not taking this lightly when I say that this might be THE best Dalek animation yet
Thank you!
@@JanjyGiggins Amazing. I wonder how those attacking Dalek Patrols would react if the Humanized Rebel Daleks suddenly unexpectedly showed up and came to the rescue by protecting that innocent Earth Ship long enough for them to make their escape? I would really liked to see that happen someday by seeing Good Daleks VS EVIL Daleks.
@@LateBloomingRosebud (Me speaking in a Dalek Scientist voice): "I STRONGLY AGREE! ALSO DOCTOR WHO SERIES ITSELF REALLY NEEDS A FEW MORE FRIENDLY, MORE HEROIC, GOOD GUY TYPE DALEKS MORE OFTEN, PREFERABLY ONE THAT COULD ONE DAY BECOME A MAIN REOCCURRING CHARACTER AS WELL AS AN IMPORTANT MEMBER OF TEAM TARDIS!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK HUMAN? THE DOCTOR ONCE BRIEFLY HAD A COMPANION, A HILARIOUS MONDASIAN CYBERMAN HEAD NAMED "HANDLES" WHO APPEARED IN "TIME OF THE DOCTOR" 2014 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!"
@@jamieolberding7731 Have you listened to the Dalek Empire Audio's this is based on? You *sorta* get that.
Gggg
It's genuinely surreal how good this looks, this wouldn't look out of place from a AAA game on PS4. This is fantastic!
Well, maybe a slightly janky PS3 game, but thank you!
this is incredibly janky, i think you might be overselling it quite a bit
@@rampantsarcasm2220 Ur mum mate
THIS IS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE DOING WITH THE DALEKS IN THE MAIN SHOW!
I won't lie when I say I didn't think Infiltration of the Daleks could be beaten. But this, this is Star Wars level good. This should be shown to RTD!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
They've just announced a Dalek series in the making!!
This looks like a modern film. You can't release something like this for free, this amount of work and quality deserves compensation.
I hope you get it.
Thank you! But I do it for fun. I have no intention of making any money off any of these videos. If I enjoy making them and people enjoy watching them, that's all I need!
This is the actual best Dalek animation I’ve ever seen
Thanks!
This is really impressive work, it's engaging to look at and has a real cinematic quality to it. I hope Big Finish sees it and gets you to do a trailer or something in the future.
Thanks! Yeah, I was in two minds as to whether to show this to Big Finish. Wouldn't want them to take against it and have it taken down.
God damn this animation is proof that Big finish can and could cooperate with animation
This is incredibly impressive. You’re on the cusp of something very special here. Excited to see more!
Thank you! Yeah, I learned a lot making this. I can see all the places where it doesn't quite measure up to what I had in mind, but I'm so much better equipped for the next one - once I work up the stamina to start another long-term project!
Dalek Empire should have been as a full animated movie. This small clip was amazing
Thanks!
Dalek empire basically is like the dalek master plan
This was miles ahead of anything the BBC could ever come up with! So good!
Thank you!
Well, Heck... That was ever so slightly amazing!
Thank you!
Dam i love this, it really makes me wish more of bigfinish's audio dramas were animated. I also love how there have been some slight changes and additions made to make it work better in an animated form, really good.
Thanks! Yeah, it wouldn't have worked to just use the audio as it was, just as this wouldn't work without the visuals. It ended up needing a lot more shots and being a much more drawn-out sequence than I thought at the beginning, but I learned a lot from the process.
I've got to be honest out of all the fictitious villains ever created, The Daleks are the best. They always make the best dramatic entrances.
No joke, this entire series would be incredible as an Animation!
Wow! So incredibly detailed, great stuff! :)
Thank you! Much appreciated!
This makes me really want a modern big budget Dalek movie. I think with the right script it could work. Probably be R +18 though.
Yeah, it could be interesting. I don't think there's any need for it to be above a 15, though. Got to keep those Daleks broadly family friendly!
Nice work, love the Dalek car chase!
Thanks!
Extraordinary video I must say. I would propose the New Era to Daleks' Supremacy.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Saw this when it first came out but never got round to saying how BRILLIANT this is which is shocking! 💙 You did a phenomenal job on this, honestly everything about this is perfect! If you ever get the chance to do more like this one then please do!
Thank you! Daleks' Master Plan episode 1 is coming... sometime.
@@JanjyGiggins Well whenever it does I'm certainly looking forward to it! 😄
Excellent . dalks need there own show 60s daleks that is proper
This is really amazing work. Lovely clean renders and the cinematography is really impressive. Great work, look forward to seeing more! 🤩
Thanks! I'm working on another one but don't expect it for a long time.
THE DALEKS ARE IMPRESSED! *IMPRESSIVE! IMPRESSIVE!*
idk why but this gives me star wars and doctor who vibes
There are definite Star Wars influences there. In fact a lot of the flying sequences are pretty closely based on Star Wars ones.
The animation for this looks amazing!!! This should be an actual Dalek animated series for TV, it some how gives me vibes of the recent CGI series of Thunderbirds are go.
The only thing I didn't like was that every time the Daleks fired their lasers, we could constantly hear "FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" Not even an "EXTERMINATE!!!"
But other than that, this is a fantastic Doctor Who animation. The BBC should hired you to animate the visual effects or produce this into an animated spin-off show (which could be possible, with Russell T Davis saying he plans to create an MCU style universe for Doctor Who. Possibly meaning more spin-offs)!
Thanks! On the lack of 'exterminate', I can only really work with the audio as it exists. I thought about editing in an 'exterminate' here and there but when the Daleks are shooting there's music and other sound effects going on underneath, which makes it difficult to add or remove things.
Honestly outside of the daleks refusal to say exterminate and the low resolutions and graphics honest it’s bloody fantastic like honestly even though it’s a short story it’s really amazing and ironically despite its short run time it was more enjoyable than most of the new who episodes and honestly I personally would love to see a mini series
Well the Daleks don't say 'exterminate' in the original audio clip, and it didn't make any sense to add it in. As for the resolution... I rendered it out at 4K. I don't know if my computer could cope with much more than that!
@@JanjyGiggins that’s fair enough but outside of that fantastic work and honestly I personally would love to see a mini series with these three
@@hadesdogs4366 Check out Big Finish's Dalek Empire series then! You can get them for virtually nothing these days. Unfortunately it took me 8 months to do 3 minutes, so I won't be animating the rest!
I swear it feels like I'm watching Star Wars but with Daleks.
Good! That was the general idea!
@@JanjyGiggins oh wow.
This is outstanding !!!!!! well done to all.....fantastic.👌😃
Thank you! Very much a one-person job. I just used some free models etc. other people had made available online. :)
I have seen the future of Dr Who! Amazing
Thank you!
we need the entire dalek empire series animated like this
Its incredible to think that these jokes of a villain will one day become amongst the op Villains in any sci-fi franchise.
This is truly amazing! Oh, and the melting dalek freaking awesome!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
This is brilliant. I love the Dalek getting melted by the jet engine. So many little visual additions that complement the Big Finish audio!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! I wish I could have done the melting Dalek better but it's a tricky effect.
Wow, what fantastic job you've done, this is so professional. The characters are so well realised and believable, this is next level stuff for fan work. You really get the feeling a cameraman is doing his best to track all the action. This is truly epic!
Thanks! Check out the Daleks' Master Plan animation I'm working on if you like this.
If Daleks infiltrated the Star Wars universe.
Not so sure about the facial animations but this is a 100/10.
Thanks! Faces are hard - I'm working to improve them for the next one.
This looks good!
Thank you!
@@JanjyGiggins Welcome
Dalek:
NOW. THIS . IS. POD. RACING!
Wizard!
I actually think the Daleks work better outside of DW. No jeopardy with the Doctor involved. Gives us chance to build relationships with characters.
They certainly get to be more competent.
This is fantastic!
Thank you!
@@JanjyGiggins No problem!
holy crap this is good
Thanks!
This is so impressive! Even better than your last one. Best Doctor Who animation I've seen!
Thanks! I try to keep improving!
This is fantastic work. 👏 . Brilliant
Thank you!
it would be cool if (with the recent Disney+ involvement) we get a ton of new live-action Doctor Who content (like with Star Wars)
theres so much to be covered
I'm unfamiliar with PS3, PS4, XBOX, or even GameCube (seriously?), but this looks amazeballs!
Thanks!
This looks freaken amazing dude 👏
Thanks!
Lovely! Very creative logistical thinking within the action. It felt ‘in universe’ too. Great stuff.
Thank you!
@@JanjyGiggins you’re very welcome, shame the Obi Wan series didn’t have you onboard, we’d maybe had less of those weird moments that made no sense. ;)
This is great
Thank you!
Incredible work
Thank you!
AMAZING!!
Thanks!
The Daleks don't believe in neutral planets, I believe. Very nice work. Also, good example of the Kzinti Lesson on that Dalek.
Yeah, I always thought the neutral thing was a bit odd in the original audio. Thanks! I wish I could have made the melting Dalek a bit more convincing. I think Blender's newer tools would help but they weren't really there when I did that bit!
It would make sense in the event of a stalemate, as neither Daleks nor humans have infinite resources it would be better to have a small force on standby and place greater resources elsewhere.
This is absolutely GREAT!!! love the design!
Thank you!
Excellent 👌
Thanks!
Very good.
Thank you!
This was actually rather bloody good. 😈
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Brilliant
Thanks!
WOAH! That is really impressive! Really good work!
Thanks!
proud to say i’m the 500th subscriber!
Congratulations! And thank you!
Impressive, beautiful production!!!
Thank you!
I've just said on another video how I look forward to seeing you animating a full BF one day. I didn't realise you were so damned close. I thought you wouldn't be able to animate people yet (Daleks are relatively 'easy' I'm guessing) but you have. The business around the main action is superb. So detailed. You could've left a lot of that out and it still would've sung. Seeing your name on a big or TV screen in the not very distant future will see me punching the air. You deserve all the good stuff coming your way. 👏👏
Thank you, that's very kind! Yeah, Daleks are easy but I wanted to push myself with the people. I was only beginning to learn how to animate them in this - it was mostly cutting together off-the-shelf motion capture animations you can get online, but so far the next video is all custom stuff.
@@JanjyGiggins You'll only get better. Have you been in touch with Big Finish? I was wondering if it was a case of everybody thinking somebody else had drawn their attention to it. I think they'd be bowled over by your work. I can easily see this sort of thing as a next step for them/you within the next 5 years or so. The tech is improving exponentially. It's a really exciting time. Keep them coming. 👏👏
@@Charlie_Duz I haven't. I was a bit wary in case they asked for it to be taken down. Fairly sure they'd be cool with it but I thought it better to be cautious, especially when it was new.
The bbc should hire you for all future games
Thanks!
NICE!!!!!
Wow, I had NO IDEA that Nicole Watterson's Voice Actor was in Big Finish!
I don't know who that is, but Big Finish have probably employed a good proportion of the voice actors working in the UK by this point.
@@JanjyGiggins that’s Teresa Gallagher, she plays a few characters in a Cartoon Network show called “The Amazing World of Gumball” Nicole is the Mum in it.
Impressive!!!
Thank you!
Wow, outstanding!!
Thanks!
Very nice, though it's hard to hear the dialogue sometimes.
Wow!
Thanks!
Fantastic work.
Thank you!
Holy shit that was awesome 👌
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Need more animations like this or do the whole story like the above.
Very nice! I do have one criticism, though: did the Daleks need to yell FIRE absolutely every time they made a shot?
Well, I can't take any responsibility for the original audio - that's Big Finish c. 20 years ago.
@@JanjyGiggins fair enough.
This is amazing I love it!!!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Hot damn!
In a good way, right?
What is this ship made of to withstand so many darlek shoots?
You know, the guy sounds a lot like Liam Barnaby from the Cybermen series. Is it just because they are the same voice actor or is it because this is the same character?
I haven't heard the Cyberman series. Apparently it's the same actor but different character.
this was good but at the same time looked really odd...
Thanks? Made a lot of compromises for short render times. Plus I knew virtually nothing about animation when I started it.
Horrible anti dalek propaganda. Suggesting they could fail.
A bit too star warsy for me.
Fair enough. I think the Doctor Who universe is big enough to go a bit Star Warsy eevery once in a while.
if you collabed wirh @3ddoctorwho you guys could make something bananas
Very nice.
Thanks!
