More on Digit Magazine

Further to our story on March 10 regarding the upcoming issue of Digit Magazine, the magazine has issued several photos online from its story, "Exclusive: Doctor Who Effects Secrets Revealed," a six-page article in the April issue revealing "the digital special effects techniques behind the much-hyped Doctor Who series. It also features exclusive images from the series." "In a word, the new Doctor Who is amazing. The result has been the creation of over 1,000 effects shots for the 13 episodes - with episode two accounting for a staggering 200 effects shots in just 45 minutes," says Matthew Bath, editor in chief. Says series visual effects producer Will Cohen, "[The Oscar-winning] Gladiator had 100 effects shots which we did in six-months. We've had nine months to do 10 times that number. It's like nothing that has been seen before on British television." The magazine has printed several spoiler images, including a wireframe drawing of a CGI monster from "The End of the World," episode 2, as well as completed versions. You can pick up the latest issue of Digit in bookshops this week. (Thanks to Matthew Bath)
