Doctor Who: Sally Sparrow's Weeping Angels Dossier from Blink

[DB81]

This project comes along great. Very good work.

Any chance of you offering the DVD + case without the rest of the folder?

I'd love to have one sitting on my DVD shelf

.




Yeah, I don't see why not. I'll link a for sale thread later on today.

This is incredible work Birdie, nicely done!

 

[Kingpin]

I imagine Sally would've included the appeal poster for Billy, as it'd help the Doctor identify him immediately in addition to the newspaper articles.

As someone who hasn't worked a paper prop project, I found this really great. Can you tell us what the working time was for this project?

 

[Birdie]

In excess of 30 hours to create all the artwork and do the printing and weathering, but difficult to calculate really; probably more like 50 or 60 with numerous rewatches of the episode, research, sourcing materials and creating and attempting to source stuff that didn't make the final cut.

I actually drew a bunch of sketches of angels, the Doctor, Billy and the Tardis surrounded by angels, but they didn't really cut it, so I roped in a friend to do them, but he bailed too. There was going to be some stuff on various real weeping angel statues from around the world, but I couldn't get that to work satifactorily, so dumped it.

I also spent some time working on reproducing Sally's driving licence from the episode, but without a plastic card printer I dropped that idea. Pity, that would have been a neat little prop.

So, yeah, a lot of hours, basically!

 

[Bandit959]

Thanks Birdie. All that work really paid off.

As for the card printer, I know what you mean. I've been toying with a way to make them without a printer. No luck yet, but if I have a working solution I'll post it.

Birdie, there are numerous possibilities, just finish the driving licence if you feel like it.
