I discovered how to make videos on the computer, so now I’m having a world of fun while I should be doing other things.
Anyway, if you want to see what I can do with a Mercury Rev song and a Doctor Who episode then click here. (More information and download options here.)

First person I encountered doing vids. Completely nuts, but very cool. Unfortunately, my poor dial up says no.
Hmm, cool, if rather less Susan Cooper than I’d imagined
All nicely selected, and well-timed – I particularly enjoyed the Dalek saucers to “The stars are in position,” and the rousing theme for the TARDIS and hologram.
The only slight niggle I’d have is the shape; made in widescreen, it tends to look a bit squashy.
Very effective, all told… How about trying a Nuremberg / Socialist Realism style mix of Mr Blair and Cybermen on the march to the Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Integral’, as suggested by Millennium and I…?
Alison – you had a comment here, but I accidentally checked ‘spam’ instead of ‘approve’ when it came up in the list. Sorry!
I’ll overlook it just this once
Just to reiterate, I really liked your choice of scenes, from my favourite episode
There you are, and now you should be able to post without it going into the spam queue.
Alex, unfortunately I only have Windows Movie Maker, and I can’t see a way for that to save films in anything other than 4:3, so everything gets squashed up. At least, I assume that’s the only way it can be done, as I can’t see a way to save in a 16:9 format.
And I’ll think about your suggestion though I’m currently trying to combine The Flaming Lips and The End Of The World.
i LOVE doctor who! glad you have got it on your website!
