"B camera." "Action." "River? pay the Doctor a flying visit." "you've got River Song coming back." "it's an angel." "I think the weeping angels are absolutely terrifying." "We had to bring them back." "And they are out in force." "Doctor!" "How bad a time can you give Amy Pond?" "And we delve even deeper behind the scenes and take an exclusive peak at a digital Doctor and an animated Amy." "You're a bit prettier in the game." "I knew that was coming." "I think they've been a bit generous to Matt." "which... isn't really there." "Let's not go there." "Set?" "Set." "And... action!" "The show gets off to a flying start. and this time she makes sure she does it in style. and just the sense that River is this kind of... mad adventurer." "I needed to see what was in your vault." "Wait till she runs." "Don't make it look like an execution. you might want to find something to hang on to." "BEEPING certainly the most complicated set-up that I've done before. really." "I wondered if you'd done that consciously or..." "I can do whatever..." "whichever way. we have to have a stunt double there." "Crispin." "action." "my God!" "that's half speed." "It's like Tinkerbell." "Oh..." "Yeah!" "that looks really exciting." "please. and I really was excited." "once you're up." "Behind the wires." "you've got to lift them through." "basically." "OK." "Because I've got to be back... you'll have that this side to start with." "OK." "Do I have to have it out like that?" "forward?" "See how it feels with the wires..." "All right." "because we have got to get exactly in frame in the cameras. we've got to do the speed for Alex to get blown out of the airlock." "but also in a straight line. so she can take the weight off her feet and see what it feels like." "You just let me know when you're happy." "Is everything all right?" "Yes." "Bob?" "OK?" "action." "MUSIC: "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz" "Poor Alex Kingston was sort of and she's got a wind machine behind her." "Alex?" "I loved it." "I absolutely loved it." "It was like being on a fairground ride for her. just to get her used to it." "I want to go again." "She was very good." "Alex is very good." "action!" "don't worry." "been in a harness." "it's really tight." "I put it on back-to-front and it didn't seem too bad." "Then I was told I had it the wrong way round." "tightened it all up incredibly. they can't. so it cleared my face." "It was quite a few things to think about." "legs straight." "that's it!" "Hopefully you will see that I'm really uncomfortable and being swept towards the airlock. to sort of hang horizontal in space is not easy at all." "to sort of stay horizontal. OK!" "That's a whole different muscle group." "Totally. but I've got to do it all by myself." "The other coverage of that scene was River which we shot in the TARDIS." "it was Matt's... but it was something that Matt came up with in rehearsal and he is looking up at her." "Doctor..." "River?" "and action! into me and lands pretty much directly on top of me. and we both had to collapse onto the floor." "THEY GROAN AND LAUGH" "She would try to land as politely as possible." "I absolutely did knee Matt in the googlies." "nearly." "Nearly on me knackers! can we say that?" "And we would laugh greatly." "Oh!" "River!" "THEY LAUGH people!" "it's a real tear your hair out moment." "He's been dreading his next encounter with River." "Explain." "Who is that and how did she do that museum thing?" "and I don't know..." "The Doctor is always the top man in the room." "He's always frustrated and River knows a lot more about his future than he does." "Where are we up to?" "Have we done the bone meadows?" "What's the book?" "Stay away from it." "my...future. and frustrates the Doctor because he's used to being all-knowing." "There's only been one major encounter with River - the library." "sweetie. and River has this diary..." "Shall we do diaries?" "Where are we this time?" "this little blue book." "are all the images of all of the Doctors." "yes?" "And all the...all the adventures that they've gone on." "So she can look in this diary and she can refer to who he is and what he's going through." "he can't see this because this is all his future." "have we done that?" "Obviously ringing no bells." "Have we done..." "Picnic At Asgard." "Have we done Asgard yet?" "Obviously not." "All these other sort of seemingly meaningless names and titles and memories." "not knowing what they were. so the two episodes that we've now filmed" "Oh my God!" "the lists that I went through" "I am now reliving." "you don't." "and neither do I." "very guilty about letting River... he has to watch her die.' it's OK." "It's not over for you." "You'll see me again." "You've got all of that to come." "who is clearly going to be so important we don't know how." "He doesn't know how but he has an inkling." "but... that hurts him." "And he hates losing people he loves." "time and space." "You watch us run." "And River is one of them for sure." "one..." "We didn't know what was going to happen to the character of River Song." "she died. so there's a lot more potential and longevity in terms of his particular relationship with River Song." "these two characters are actually really drawn to each other." "He is completely intrigued by her." "How early as this for you?" "Very early." "So you don't know who I am yet." "How do you know who I am?" "I don't always look the same." "I've got pictures of all your faces." "You never show up in the right order." "I need a spotters' guide." "that sort of...' but there's still a great deal of affection between them." "Parked us right alongside." "Parked us?" "We haven't landed?" "Of course we've landed." "I just landed her." "The way they instantly bicker with each other..." "Use the stabilisers." "It doesn't have stabilisers." "they're just blue." "they're blue." "They're the blue stabilisers!" "See?" "isn't it?" "They are boringers." "They are blue...boringers." "They get cross with each other in the way... in the way that a couple who have been around for ages." "I had lessons from the very best." "Well...yeah." "It's a shame you were busy that day." "Turn right." "it's definitely left." "It's like arguing over directions." "What are you doing?" "Cutting the power." "it's deadlocked." "There's no deadlock." "There is now." "What are you doing?" "Trying to cut through." "It's not warm." "It's not physically possible." "But it's actually about a weeping angel that's trapped in Amy's mind." "it's this way." "MUSIC: "Slash Dot Dash" by Fatboy Slim but it doesn't end there. the actors are photographed so the team can recreate them in 3-D." "there's so much stuff involved." "computer games..." "Photos." "audio books." "Matt Smith's throwing some shapes for the photographers." "The purpose of today is to have a rotoscoping session with Matt." "Rotoscoping is the process that we use to animate Matt in the game." "We're copying Matt's movements and making sure that the Doctor you're playing is an accurate rendition of Matt in real life." "or Eureka." "Of course!" "OK." "Just solved something." "Wicked." "And another." "Completely brilliant." "I do that quite a lot." "We had a photo session with Matt and that is so that we can take it's as accurate as it can be." "We asked Matt to do turnaround shots in 45 degree increments pulling different expressions. yeah?" "yeah?" "Now puzzled." "How are you going to solve this problem?" "So the animators can see where the cornerstones of his expressions are." "the next one was pain and grimace." "Matt was brilliant today." "He's so kinetic and animated." "There's so much going on." "Confidential!" "Let's do it." "# Confidential..." "# It's a secret." "Ssh... #" "What we're doing is recording Matt and Karen and we're going to cut their voices into segments and those segments are then going to go into the interactive episodes." "such a good year." "then." "What we mean by interactive episodes is it's a new style of doing Dr Who." "It's like four additional episodes of the show but with quite a lot more cut scenes." "they are the little moments where the characters interact and actually talk to one another and move the plot along." "we can go to see the Beatles play in 1963." "But the Ice Age is only a click away on the dial." "Can I meet John Lennon?" "What?" "Not Ringo?" "Why doesn't anybody ever want to meet Ringo?" "There's no such thing as a sexy drummer." "that we do make this seem like a proper episode of Dr Who." "It's not something that's tacked on the end and it's not a bit incidental to Dr Who." "These four episodes of Dr Who have to sound and feel and look really like proper Dr Who." "it's only right they get a sneak preview." "So what was the verdict?" "'We watched a bit of it and it's cool." "Brilliant." "'Because it's ourselves as computer characters.' wasn't I?" "but it's completely accurate as to how he runs." "like Tony Adams." "Remember Tony Adams?" "Straight back." "Whereas you run like a sort of gangly fox." "I don't!" "A gangly fox?" "Yeah." "purposeful." "slow." "You're quite slow." "I'm not!" "I'm long." "sure. it's time for the team to set about bringing the Doctor and Amy to life." "So here we see what we call the turnarounds." "side and three-quarter shots." "we produce a digital 3-D sculpture." "I'll just rotate that." "It's a full 3-D model of Matt as the Doctor." "We then produce textures. what we do is we wrap those textures around the mesh to produce a coloured version." "So there's the Doctor with his face texture on." "And again from the side." "we need to then take that into the animation programme and produce a skeleton." "this is the Doctor's skeleton. rotate and animate him for the episode." "he's just tidying his jacket." "you can see the end result." "Another stage you go through is the facial animation." "and this time we can see Amy. and simple things like blinks. which we have here on the Doctor." "you take the role of the Doctor. that he must overcome to progress. is that we can do things that can't be done in the television series." "We can have amazing environments and amazing creatures that you couldn't do in television. we do have to add additional information to give the player so they don't get stuck." "We've added something to the heads-up display which is the warning of how close these guys are to detecting you." "They are steered subtly towards where they should go." "That's not to say they can't explore and find secret extras and so on." "And we want them to play it more than once." "KAREN:" "I'm definitely doing it." "right." "I just think it's going to be great." "And it looks amazing and it's free on the website." "very exciting." "It's so weird seeing yourself." "our faces and everything and all of our mannerisms." "You're a bit prettier in the game." "I knew that was coming." "they've been a bit generous to Matt." "Probably. OK?" "take 1." "A-camera mark." "B camera. but there's plenty more to film back on set." "The Doctor's day is going from bad to worse as some far from heavenly visitors rear their angelic heads." "what do you know of the weeping angels?" "I just think the creation of the weeping angels is so clever because I just think they're so scary." "the weeping angels made their debut in Steven Moffat's episode Blink." "Sally! I think." "they freeze into rock." "It's a fact of their biology." "they literally turn to stone." "And you can't kill a stone. and oh yes it can." "Don't take your eyes off that." "Don't blink." "Don't even blink." "Blink and you're dead." "They are faster than you could believe." "don't look away and don't blink." "so I was pretty excited when I read the episodes and saw that they were back." "I'm running this show and those were my monsters and they were incredibly popular so I'm bringing them out for a lap of honour." "it's an angel." "Hands covering its face." "You've encountered them before?" "barely surviving." "But it's just a statue." "It's a statue when you see it." "they really are...really scary." "There is more variety of them." "But we see the process of their evolution the half-deformed ones were pretty ghastly." "They're angels." "They don't look like it." "They're not fast." "You said they were fast." "They should have had us by now." "starving." "Losing their image?" "And their image is their power." "and they've been waiting and getting more and more disturbing thoughts to take over our good universe." "I think that the weeping angels are absolutely terrifying." "CRASH ever." "they're all so beautiful and graceful really eerie about that." "it's just..." "It's really shocking when you look at it." "It does actually make your heart go pfft!" "I think they're terrifying." "Most of the weeping angels aren't statues at all." "They're girls painted like statues which is simultaneously reassuring and a little bit creepy." "The stone effect painted on them is really convincing." "There are a couple of angels that are actual proper statues." "But mostly what you're looking at are actresses painted in stone." "Morning." "Morning." "To dress the artists in their outfits it takes on average between two to three hours depending on which angel it is." "This is the base colour. everywhere we can see skin. because it's quite sticky." "same thing." "then there'll be no pink showing and we can get on with the next stage." "insulates as well." "MUSIC: "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga" "This is the corset they wear underneath the top." "This is for the wings. the wings clip on here." "you can't do anything." "You've got to rub it or poke it. but she's one of the best ones for keeping it on." "It's not too bad." "You try not to speak." "yeah." "MUSIC: "Devil In Disguise" by Elvis Presley" "That wasn't us." "It wasn't us." "Can you take various feral poses for me?" "first of all?" "Don't let the body go too far forward." "Keep yourself a little upright." "That's it. what looked right.'" "And I spent time just trying out the different moves." "that doesn't look right." "That just doesn't read." "So just ditched them that way." "And then selected a series of poses for each of the different areas which they need to perform in." "so that you're right up." "straight up." "Very nice. etc." "The classic poses. where their mouths are wide open attacking." "I like the scary movements a lot more because they're more fierce and you get to play with it." "standing there quite gentle." "most of the filming took place on location." "So the cast and crew headed underground to the depths of Clearwell Caves." "MUSIC: "Deeper Underground" by Jamiroquoi" "Which proved more of a challenge for some departments than others." "It's a bit easier getting the gear down to the cave because it's all downhill. at the end of the day we've got to get the equipment out." "it's all very heavy." "The cave isn't really our favourite location." "They've taken over quite a large proportion of the caves and altered it quite a bit by bringing in the scenery." "A lot of it is polystyrene rocks." "but they're too heavy for people to carry around." "Then there's a flicker on all of the lights." "Then there's a cue on the globe exploding." "And then to black." "we actually had specialised climbers in to drill and fix plates to the ceiling so we could hang lamps from the roof." "action." "The Angels give Amy the roughest time of all." "It's down in the caves that she starts to see their true colours." "The idea with the dust coming out of Amy's eye she's been... entered her." "Tell me." "Tell me!" "look at the angel but don't look at the eyes." "Why?" "What is it?" "The eyes are the doors of the soul." "Beware what may enter there." "Karen and I talked about her having a kind of...almost like an angel disease that she's got." "And she's infected by this angel. you get dust coming through her fingers." "She's discovering there's something wrong with her." "we've been building a rig supply dust that goes into the palm of her hands continually." "I've just done this very quickly at the moment." "Henry." "that's good." "That's it." "That's exactly the sort of thing." "It's getting rid of all the dust stuff that comes off it." "isn't it?" "What I can do is try to reduce it slightly." "What's really nice is just that stream. so you'll always get a residual amount." "yeah." "Um..." "OK." "That was good." "Just that last bit." "You know when I went...." "Fine." "OK." "Fine." "So it's a case of backing the fingers off." "She's got to slightly cup her hand." "It will hit her hand and just fall out." "OK." "My original brief was quite a sizable amount of dust coming through the fingers." "But it's changed slightly." "So I've adapted the rig slightly it just comes through the fingers." "this will be over your eyes." "It will be a little shelf of dust actually attached to the eye-patch." "it will just feed through your fingers." "Yeah." "I'm just going to put something over there and then build it up." "It was strange because they had to seal my eye off with this kind of sticky thing." "So that was really strange because I was completely disorientated." "this feels really weird." "Does it?" "Are you all right?" "it's fine." "Let's take you up now." "OK." "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "Come with me." "Right." "I'm fine." "'And then they had to sort of put a little ledge' the centre of my eye on which they put lots of dust." "going everywhere." "take one on the MD camera." "Cameras cut." "End board." "Sometimes the best methods of doing these things are to combine real things and then some CG work." "that eye... will end up being a combination of a real effect and a bit of CG tidying-up." "I think these smaller effects are so much more difficult because you're working with safety on the eyes and stuff like that." "It's not the easiest of locations to be doing something like this." "It's very dusty anyway. are a lot easier than doing little rigs like that." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "what's he like?" "I mean." "don't you?" "The Doctor?" "The Doctor is the Doctor." "Oh!" "Once Amy has met River and she's kind of stepped back and just tried to observe River and the Doctor she then takes her opportunity to kind of equalise herself with the Doctor and mock him a little bit and kind of teasing him in a way." "It's just quite a comical moment for them." "can you sonic me?" "I need to boost the signal so we can use it as a beacon." "Doctor!" "You soniced her." "What Amy picks up on between River and the Doctor is actually almost the complete opposite of sexual chemistry." "Is River Song your wife?" "I've never seen anyone do that." "boy." "She's Mrs Doctor from the future!" "Is she going to be your wife one day?" "That's your wife." "That's the one who tells you to put the bins out." "she could be entirely wrong." "far darker truth than that." "the Doctor finds he has plenty to sink his teeth into." "We're going to do a scene where my..." "I can't... and I can't let go because I think that my arm has turned to stone." "please." "And action!" "Don't wait for me." "Go!" "Run!" "I can't." "Why not?" "Look at it." "Look at my hand." "It's stone." "But it actually hasn't." "It's just the angels in my mind telling me that it's stone." "You looked into the eyes of an angel." "I couldn't stop myself." "I tried." "They're messing with your head." "Your hand is not stone." "It is!" "Look at it." "It's in your mind." "you can move." "You can let go." "I can't." "OK?" "I've tried and I can't." "and it's very terrifying. and I'm not really sure how we're going to do that." "Hopefully he won't actually bite it!" "for sure!" "Then perhaps I'll get a proper reaction." "And it's fun." "run!" "That really hurt." "And you're alive." "Ow!" "Ow!" "Filming is doing the same thing over and over again." "You want to inject some spontaneity and something to surprise people Matt bit her hand and he bit it hard." "cut!" "good." "I didn't know Matt was going to do that at the time!" "And it was really hard." "really hard." "Do you know what?" "I think I actually got a really good reaction because it was real and it was quite painful." "But great for the scene." "It was a painful but good experience." "B camera." "Action!" "The statue is advancing along all corridors." "my torch keeps flickering." "They all do." "So does the gravity globe." "It's the angels." "They're coming. we're all kind of running away from the angels but he can't think of one." "Everyone's getting worried and it's all building up." "two more incoming." "Any suggestions?" "The statues are advancing on all sides." "We don't have the equipment to reach the Byzantium." "no way out." "but this is usually when you have a really good idea." "There's always a way out." "It's for my gun." "Boom!" "something like that basically." "So we had a pyrotechnic device fitted into the end of the barrel of the gun and then we had a wire travelling down his arm and what he did was pressed the button so that looked like the gun was firing." "I'll pass you the gun." "You'll stick it in that thing?" "I connect them up." "That's it." "Danny." "so he was nervous. he was very confident towards the end." "There's going to be plenty more bangs for him to get used to!" "please." "Roll sound." "Sound speed." "take one." "A-camera ready." "And action." "Trust me?" "Yeah." "Trust me?" "Always." "trust me?" "sir." "Then give me your gun." "jump!" "Jump?" "Jump where?" "Just jump." "High as you can." "Bishop." "Leap of faith." "'I really liked doing that scene.'" "We did that scene for the whole evening." "So that's nearly six hours or something. and then there's a light that goes off when I shoot." "I'm then pressing this." "I'm getting a torch in the other one." "The torch is then flickering." "We make the torches flick by having a little button on the side which were going..." "Then of course we all jump when I've gone..." "Boom!" "I kept getting it wrong." "Going..." "Everyone goes jump and I go...ooh!" "There's the Angel." "Sorry." "LAUGHTER" "' it was just a funny situation." "Zebedee moment where we all had to..." "It was Doctor Who The Musical for a minute." "And action!" "LAUGHTER you mentioned the mistake we made?" "big mistake." "There's one thing you never put in a trap if you're smart." "if you have any plans there's one thing you never put in a trap." "It's proper edge-of-your-seat stuff." "I just think it's a really great moment to end on because of the prominence of the Doctor picking up a gun." "that was a major thing." "He never handles weapons." "What's going on?" "Why has he picked up a gun?" "sir?" "Me." "I would tune in for the next one after that." "we keep a close eye on Amy as she faces her toughest time yet." "Doctor?" "I can't find the communicator." "Doctor!" "Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd" "E-mail subtitling@bbc.co.uk"
