Vintage Doctor Who

Doctor Who has a legacy that spans almost 50 years, and has captivated the minds and attention of fans from the very beginning of the show. The series has since become a cultural staple in the UK and an aspect of Whovian lore that has the attention of many fans is the history of the show behind the scenes and during its evolution through the years.

Here are a few samples below. Be sure to click them to head over and see them at Loup Dargent's site in their full sizes [...]

YouTube user Mawgan has recreated Star Trek II in just 60 seconds using paper card puppets, and the results are spectacular.

Watch the video here below.

This is my entry for the Empire Done in 60 Seconds 2011 competition... I used a combination of card puppets that I designed, cut out and stuck together (which were shot on green screen) and then drew computer backgrounds/objects which were placed behind/in front with effects added (simple ones!).
