Lads we have been having a title synching issues since 2014 when capaldi became the doctor. It bugged me then, and what I learned since then is that they don’t really care about structure. And after 10 years there’s really nothing else to do but let go and take it in your stride.
Well this just seems wrong. The Boom intro was actually in sync. The music was timed properly with the appearance of the logo which seems most important.
@@FawzanSiddiquiWell, personally, i prefer the "Boom!" way of syncing it. Plus, why are the specials suddenly the staple of intros? I thought a lot of people had a problem with them?
@@scaleofperspective6211 A lot of people do, but if you listen closely, you can see that the visuals and audio are synced intentionally; for example, the point at which the TARDIS surfs the time vortex anti-clockwise coincides with the theme, as does the spinning of the TARDIS across the screen to reveal the actors’ names. RTD has stated that he was encouraged to remove a shot of the Doctor and the companion from the title sequence, hence the unconventional sync, but that does not mean it is inherently wrong, nor that the syncs these days are not erroneous.
@@FawzanSiddiqui I wasn't talking about the surfing of the TARDIS, those moments HAVE to be synced, but the title appearance works much better as it is in Boom
@@scaleofperspective6211 I disagree. The appearance of the logo in Boom occurs too late, resulting in the theme being extended in a manner that feels quite unnatural.
@@FawzanSiddiqui it was. it’s clear they wanted the music to end just before it switched back to the next scene so it didn’t feel so sudden unlike the last two episodes which were heavily out of sync. If anything, this time it was off by a literal second but each cut lines up with the theme still.
@@nathxn05 That may be the case, but that does not change the fact that it is objectively out of sync as a result of the modifications; if you pay attention to how the visuals align with the music in the 2023 specials, this should be clear.
The title sequence has been in and out of sync so much since Series 8, that I'm pretty sure there ISN'T a right way to sync it. Most of the time, I'm too busy in awe of the visuals and bopping to the music to care.
I am sorry, but this is just false. If you are musically inclined, it is easy to discern when the theme and visuals are synced intentionally, and when they are not. For instance, in the Capaldi era openings, the Doctor Who logo is meant to play later than in previous title sequences, as indicated by the sound and visuals coinciding at the beginning of the clockwork segment, the spiralling clock part, and the moment at which the TARDIS zooms away with a flash, whereupon the actors’ names appear. The fact that you have acknowledged that this particular title sequence was out of sync suggests that you know there was a right way to sync it. Similarly, the 2023 specials are synced with specific points of visual and aural synthesis; though this may differ from how previous title sequences have been synced, it is nonetheless manifestly intentional. You may not care about the minutiae, but that does not change the fact that the title sequence can be, and frequently is, out of sync.
I noticed in Boom specifically, the sting is before the intro. Is it even out of sync in Boom? I can't actually tel other difference between this and Boom. How many seconds did you offset the intro music by? Because either way, it is a small difference
I can say you did make the whoosh sound happen as the TARDIS whooshes past to reveal Millie Gibson's name, which the original didn't, but the original has the logo appear closer to where it should appear if the logo was actually in sync with the music, so I don't actually know which is more in sync
The sting being before the intro does not mean it is in sync. The beginning of the theme itself should coincide with the moment the TARDIS starts surfing the time vortex anti-clockwise, which it does not in Boom; therefore, it is very much out of sync in the episode.
@@metalsonic17 I assure you that Boom's title sequence is not in sync. You may be comparing it to how previous title sequences have been synced, but the RTD2 era title sequence has a specific sync that differs from that of its predecessors.
I can't notice much difference, noticing if something is a slightly bit out of sync is not what I'm noticing watching a programme. I'm watching it for the story not for the strings being slightly off. Good video I just don't see much difference, I guess it's easy content
The minutiae of art matter deeply to me, so I feel compelled to create content like this. Of course, not everyone will notice every minor error, but a lot of people do; for us, correction is necessary.
The Devil’s Chord is the only episode of 2024 so far to have the visuals and audio of the title sequence in sync, but even then, the wrong theme is used.
At this point I'm not even sure what the 'correct' timing is.
When it goes "Waaawaaaaa" doctor credit, then it go "Wawooowoooo" companion credit, then when it do the "BA BA BA, BA BABA" title card.
The logo is supposed to appear at the "doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo" bit
For me it’s when the tardis lifts off and the flourish ends
The correct timing is the one where the multiple strings segments are the start are in sync with the sudden random movement of the TARDIS
At this point what is timing 😂

tbh it didnt need fixing the pacing was fine for me
The music was just slightly ahead of the visuals. The string runs didn't match up with the TARDIS like they did in 2023.
Agree, this one is worse than the one that actually aired
No this is the best version of it don’t change

The Boom intro was definitely not in sync. Have a look at the title sequence of the 2023 specials to see how it should be synced.

am I the only one who didn't notice a difference
Yeah the timing was right for this episode, didn’t seem to need fixing for me
They did this quite a lot in Series 8 and 9 where the music wasnt properly in sync with the titles.
wait what the intro was already in sync this time lmao
It was not.

It really wasn't in sync. The strings in the background are supposed to the in sync with the hectic movement of the TARDIS at the start @@nathxn05
I just dont care at this point, theyll never FIX IT THEMSELVES
It’ll be fixed in the iTunes version when it’s released, they messed up the theme in devils chord on purpose

Someone else uploaded the unedited version, Book's title sequence seems to be in sync, if anything more in sync than this.

You know what, I don't know which is better, but clearly it isn't as poorly synced as the earlier episodes

Audio was synced pretty good until Logo. It appeared WAY too earlier.
It appears at roughly the same point as in the title sequence of the 2023 specials, to whose sync I am adhering, here.

@@FawzanSiddiqui I get that but I also think it's very nit picky but if that's what makes you sleep well at night who am I to judge?
How’s this fixed?
The title sequence in the episode is out of sync, and the ending thereof is extended inadequately.
I disagree tbh. They've edited the Sequence again in the latest episode "Boom". To me, it was in sync enough for me to be satisfied.
Could ruby be jenny daughter or ruby might be Susan biological granddaughter?
The only thing needing fixed its the logo being on screen for far to long
the logo is not in sync
I watched both versions and they sound and look the same? I dont get it, what changed?
Watch them again. The original is out of sync, and the audio of the ending is not extended correctly.
Fixed again after previous episodes?
The Devil’s Chord is the only episode of 2024 so far to have the visuals and audio of the title sequence in sync, but even then, the wrong theme is used.
@@FawzanSiddiqui I'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed that.
Ah-ha!
The time vortex is breaking up! And all because of a gigantic twist!
Nah it was fine
