Remembrance of the Daleks: The Abomination

- A short animation detailing the genesis of the Special Weapons Dalek.
The action of this animation takes place during the events of 'Remembrance of the Daleks'.
Written by Mestor The Magnificent, and suggested by Ben Aaronovitch's novelisation of 'Remembrance of the Daleks'.
[This animation was first released in August 2011 and went on to become one of my most successful animations on a former incarnation of my channel. Applauded and derided in equal measure by the WhoTube community, I still believe this to be my finest hour. It is technically very basic but I had a whale of a time making and voicing it, and I believe it is my own fitting tribute to my favourite Doctor Who serial.
I am under no illusion that my best days on CZcams are behind me, and that I am not capable of producing work as technically adept, or as admired, as other content creators. I am unlikely to ever produce anything as good as this again. However, I am very proud of this animation, and if I only ever produce one piece like this, I can feel like I've achieved something of merit.] - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I remember being a child watching this for the first time I had yet to see remembrance of the Daleks but I was fascinated with the special weapons Dalek I’m glad to see this animation back on your
Thank you! That means a great deal!
I’ve gotta say as a kid watching this was a luxury, I didn’t even realise it was you who made it until you re uploaded it, fantastic world building and voice acting!
Thank you very much indeed! That means a lot!
Very nice use of the SWD's expanded backstory from the Remembrance novelisation. I still find it intriguing that we got a reference to the "Time War" over 15 years before it became such a huge element of Nu-Who.
Omg, this and revolution of the cybermen were always my favourite videos of yours!
A true classic in doctor who stopmotion
That is high praise indeed! Thank you! If I only ever manage to produce one true classic animation, I can consider myself fulfilled 😊
@@mestormagnificent1550 This, cold harvest and revolution of the cybermen I would consider a classic
I remember seeing this when it was first released. I love this one!
Thank you. It has a very special place in my heart! Glad to see it still receives some fan love :)
@@mestormagnificent1550 I feel like on the scale of FA makers, in the simplicity of short, quality videos that keep me interested, you have surpassed batmanmarch and are on the same level as Taylor'd vision.
P.S how are the voices going? I'm not fussed about when you get them to me I'm just wondering. Do you like the script?
That's very kind. As I say, I'm not intending to compare myself with any other FA maker. I strongly believe all work should be viewed on its own merits.
I do enjoy your script! I'm just putting the finishing touches to a new animation, and then I'll get your voices recorded!
@@mestormagnificent1550 it was mainly a reaction to your channel description, but yes, I do agree with you there.
Great, thankyou
Just how on earth have you been making your Dalek voices so good for so long? Incredible work, lovely to be rewatching this classic today :)
That means a great deal! Thank you! I suppose I just love Daleks and very much enjoy performing them.
Insane or not, it's best to agree with the SWD.
Another classic from the vault of Mestor.
Hope all is well.
The Vault of Mestor! Now there's an idea for a title for a series of videos 😃 Thank you, and yes, all is well here on Jaconda!
@@mestormagnificent1550 Excellent!
It’s brings memories to see this again in 2011, Peter! I’m intrigued that AFTDownloads on City of the daleks, London, alien ship corridor Quarry.
Thanks, Harry! Those AFT downloads do come in handy!
This is incredible, there should be a series commissioned based on this !
Very good Imperial voices!! I'm impressed! :D
Thank you! The Imperial voices are some of my favourites, so I'm pleased I was able to replicate them accurately!
I always return to this brilliant little video. Stunning stuff. You recreate the Imperial voices to perfection.
Thank you very much, indeed! That means a great deal. I'm glad that the voices for the Imperials stand up in the way they do.
Awesome. Dunno how you manage to get those voices so on point!
I wish Ben Aaronovitch and Andrew Cartmel wrote for The revival era of Doctor Who. Especially the current era of doctor who. This is what the series is lacking recently. Hopefully when Russell T Davies returns to Doctor Who. He'll bring them back.
It does surprise me that the writers you mention, and the likes of Ian Briggs and Marc Platt, haven't featured in the modern era. I would love to see what they could do with the current format.
RTD's not going to bring any classic who writers back, just like he didn't when the show was revived in 2005.
love seeing this again
This is class, and it brought me much joy!
Thank you kindly! If I can bring a bit of joy with my humble animations, then my job is done :)
Damn I've missed this. Makes you wonder which others Daleks were feared by their own kind. Besides Dalek X from the novel "Prisoners of the Daleks" and the Insane Daleks from the Asylum (which also had a Special Weapons Dalek funnily enough) we've not really seen that many Daleks which are legitimately feared by the others.
Good points. I always think there is a fear and respect shown by lower ranking Daleks to Black Daleks and Supremes. That section leader in Planet of the Daleks is positively quaking in his hemispheres when the Supreme arrives on Spiridon.
@@mestormagnificent1550 I'd say that's equivalent to someone being fearful of their boss because they don't want to get caught slacking off. The kind of fear I'm talking about is like getting trapped in a room with someone like Charles Manson or Hannibal Lector.
Nicely done. Very good voices.
Hoo man, nostalgia hittin' hard with this one, ever thought of doing a remake of it sometime?
I'm delighted that something I made 10 years ago is inspiring nostalgia. I'm very grateful for your interest. I don't think I will remake it. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I suppose the only thing I would do differently would be to use the correct incidental music. At the time, I had no access to the isolated Remembrance score, so used the Resurrection score instead. Other than that, I'm still very pleased with this one after all these years. I will, however, continue to keep revisiting Remembrance in other animations, as it is my all time favourite story.
Going by the prices of the imperial daleks on ebay, there`s about £200 of daleks on display in this vid :)
Ahhhh I was wondering when this would be uploaded lol, though it is great to see a great classic made by you back on CZcams
Many thanks! I think it is my all time favourite of the animations I have produced.
@@mestormagnificent1550 indeed to be honest with you I know I have stated this before and your voicing them but I would love to see your take on the paradigm daleks and their origins including how the progenitor devices were made, not forcing you or anything I just think you have a great imagination along with great story writing and I think your story of the abomination has inspired some people to make and adpt their own version of the story m.czcams.com/video/7BOom6JbrfU/video.html
I think my issue with the Paradigm is that I'm not invested enough, nor knowledgeable enough, about New Series Dalek lore. I'm sure there are lots of NuWho fans who would be able to pick holes in any story I could craft. However, I never like to say 'never' :)
@@mestormagnificent1550 that is completely understandable :)
3:55 that’s unexpected because the special weapons dalek is still a imperial dalek,so why did it exterminates the regular imperial dalek.
Three issues are raised prominently in the narrative to explain this:
1. The Imperial Dalek is questioning the orders of the Emperor;
2. The Imperial Dalek is speaking out against the use of the Special Weapons Dalek;
3. The Special Weapons Dalek clearly states that the Imperial Dalek is one of the last surviving Necros Daleks, and therefore impure.
Not quite so unexpected when all of that is taken into account.
@@mestormagnificent1550 Plus the offending Dalek was talking smack about the Special Weapons Dalek and calling him insane and disloyal. I'd be offended too if I were the Special Weapons Dalek.
is the part at 2:38 something *you* added to the Special Weapons Daleks history? Or does the novel actually mention him helping to destroy the Emperor?
That part of the story was entirely my invention.
Yay! Another classic returns.
Given the Coal Hill School set we got last year, how many Imperial Daleks do you have now?
Well, all of the Daleks you see in this production were sold years ago when I bought my house. However, with gradual re-collection over the last two years, plus the Coal Hill set (which was very difficult to track down in my area), I only have a pitiful 12, plus 2 SWDs and 2 Emperor Davros.
@@mestormagnificent1550 Pitiful? I have 12 Drones, 1 SFX SWD, 1 Emperor & 1 Custom Black Imperial. I call it the Emperors Shadow.
I had a non SFX SWD, but I repainted it in 60s colours.
I never bought the SFX SWD. I will get around to a Black Imperial one day. As you probably know, I customised one of my Imperials into a Red/Gold commander, which I'm rather fond of.
@@mestormagnificent1550 I remember. You had the Red Dalek take over the Imperials when Davros was reported missing after the Shoreditch Incident. If I remember correctly, after dealing with a dissenter, it ordered a course change to Spiridon.
That's the one! That video will be re-uploaded at some point.
Superb! 😃 Also, just curious what did you use to get the voice exact to correct era of Dalek? 🤔
Thank you! Regarding the accuracy of the voices, the Imperials in particular have voices modulated at a much higher frequency than 'normal' (if there is such a thing) Classic Daleks. It's simply a matter of playing it by ear until you find a sound that matches.
You're always welcome! 😊 Fair enough. 😁
