Doctor Who Trailer Maker [UK only]

Jamie Minty · #1 April 29, 2008, 4:29 PM

The New trailer maker is up on the BBC Doctor Who website.

Where you make 30second trailers. You choose TV clips, Sound Clips, Music, Backing Effects, Even Greenscreen Videos.

Its annoying they are 30 seconds long only but its still good fun. Not sure if its UK only but here are the codes you enter on the main screen to see my trailers. If you have got one ... post it!

The Doctor: 7frqar

Enemies: 7frqy5

Daleks and Cybermen: 7frq1c

I'm probably most pleased with the enemy one. Might take a while to load as there are lots of clips.

It keeps re-directing me to the games page every time I try to get to the trailer maker. Always been the same with the comic maker as well.. hate it so much, would really like to play around with those.

It's quite cool.

Same thing here.

I don't know why the BBC keeps restricting all the fun parts of their website. By all means, the full episode and the full "Confidential" episode need to be UK only, but what about the five-minute featurettes, the trailers, Comic Maker and Trailer Maker? I see no logical reason why those features should not be available to fans worldwide. Remember when no one outside of the UK could access any part of the official "Sarah Jane Adventures" website for much of the first season? Being that overprotective of your franchises will hurt their chances for success overseas, and that's something a cash-strapped TV network can't afford in today's competitive market. It's time BBC started showing more respect for their franchises and their fans.

I think RTD's a racist. Just look at the scene in America near the end of the Sound of Drums. Fried chicken AND pizza at ONCE?!

(I actually thought that was funny, but still.)

And the kid's wearing a football jersey. Come on. It was like the house of the most stereotypical stereotypes in Stereotypeville.

What's worse, the president was sane and businesslike. Seriously, if you're going to make fun of the US do it right.

We should write an open letter to RTD. It would go something like this:

Dear RTD,

Stop sucking at DW lulz.

Love,
The DSF Gang

PS. Bring back Tosh and Owen because RV is pretty pissed about that and I'm not sure that I can promise he wont track you down and cause you grievous bodily harm. Just a heads up. That kid is a psychopath.

Fix't.

Danny Stewart · #11 April 30, 2008, 6:26 AM

Perfect. I knew it was missing something.

Jamie Minty · #12 April 30, 2008, 10:37 AM

I would like my name added in brackets to RV's add on. Torchwood with out Tosh is just ... the programme with the American guy in Cardiff.

Why the hell is this stuff UK only. They can't be scared of spolers because the American Who site had pics of Cybermen Daleks and the Doc and Rose on Badwolf Bay before S2 had even aired.

They add a nice feature to the site and won't share it with others?

Surely they know proper Who fans in America will watch online illegally anyway. If they don't they are plain stupid.

Does anyone know a way of downloading these videos? They are .swf

It's not that they don't want non-UK fans to see it, its just that streaming video uses up their bandwidth and hence money.

You're killing the joke, sir.

I would say that's more Torchwood without Owen...

Jamie Minty · #15 April 30, 2008, 11:21 AM

Tosh is more special than Owen. But Tosh would be less special without Owen.

Therefore Owen is probably actually special too!

Yes. Probably.

This may work.

Try adding: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/view/ ... before each code.

Kody · #18 April 30, 2008, 3:22 PM

Dangit, looked like it was working for a second.. then re-directed.

Jamie Minty · #19 April 30, 2008, 4:44 PM

*sighs*

I want to find a way of downloading them as they are wiped from the database every 6 months.

Kody · #20 April 30, 2008, 5:00 PM

If it's all done in flash and I assume it is, there's a multitude of firefox plugins and stand along programs that can rip the .flv file then let you convert it to something else.

You'd need to experiment and find out if any would work on the BBC website though.
