I’ve always thought the two versions were different almost entirely.

I think the most obvious difference between the two versions is the opening couple of seconds, the Series 3-5 version has much sharper hits than the original version, and the end again is much more pronounced. If that makes any sense lol

The vocals are from a different recording too. It’s most noticeable at ‘nibbling at my toes’ methinks. The ‘my’ is held for a tiny bit longer before saying ‘toes’ :P And the ‘toes’ again is much more pronounced and longer.

EDIT – for your gratification, a comparison:

Three clips, the first time it’s the original verison, the second time the Series 3-5 version, spot the difference :P (apologies for the shite quality, youtube sucks)

/geek hat off :P

>Could you please explain what the fuck a 4k red camera is please? Not to watch the latest WLW.

It’s a very high quality digital camera. Matches the quality of 35mm film, and as Bobby said some people even prefer the quality of 4K red to 35mm. It certainly will put it on a par quality wise with any U.S drama.

Bobby has just mentioned on his new Youtube video, that the new show is being filmed on a 4k Red camera!!!! That’s f*cking amazing!

>Nice stuff, but I can?t believe how many people think it?s real. Can they not read the (very funny) DOG?

Haha i know. I got the same sort of responses to my Top Gear internet video if you look at my account. People love pointing out that it’s fake, even when it’s clearly obvious.

Is that the same font on that Dwarf logo as they used in Series 8 on all the lilac prison uniforms and signs and stuff? No wonder it looked dated!

>Getting your information from Screen Wipe, eh? In context, that?s not what the sketch was actually about?but Charlie Brooker, and the magic of editing, would have us believe otherwise.

Damn Charlie Brooker and his evil editing ways!

>Surely back in the day this clashing of recording media was a necessity rather than a valid artistic choice? Frankly, it?d be insane to manufacture such a jarring change between location and studio scene. You silly billy.

Definitely. Commentaries of old shows like Doctor Who and Blake’s 7 which have the producers and co on have always mentioned how they hated the different distinctive looks between the studio tape and the 16mm film. Heck Monty Python even based a sketch on the whole thing.

Personally, as much as i’ll probably get slapped with a wet fish for this, I’d prefer the film effect in this new Dwarf too. Unless it’s an audience multi-camera show, in which case interlaced look all the way, as has been said. Multi-camera lighting and set setups just don’t seem to work with film effect, just look at ‘My Family’ when they did it, ouch! Has there been actual confirmation that it’ll be a multi-camera audience show? For some reason it being called ‘Earth’ seems to suggest a lot of location work. I know Red Dwarf managed to make multi-camera look really great, but for some reason i just think a modern audience expects single camera now, especially for sci-fi.

They might go for Chris if they do a James Bond style reboot. Have a completely new style of film but have a small link to the past for the people who watched the previous movies. Even if it’s just Chris Barrie’s character. Could happen….maybe….perhaps not….
