VFX house Milk has been commissioned to provide the visual effects for series 8, potentially part of a two year deal including series 9 in 2015.
The deal, worth £1.5m a series, follows the studios impressive work on The Day of the Doctor. Milk created 129 shots for the episode including the sequences at Arcadia, the new Dalek pods and saucers, the time portal and the Trafalgar Square sequence.
The Milk team, previously The Mill, have been creating the visual effects for the show since it’s relaunch in 2005 and CEO Will Cohen had this to say:
“Many of us on the team have been privileged to enjoy a ten year love affair with Doctor Who, so to be able to carry on collaborating with the BBC Wales team on telling these incredible stories provides us with an opportunity as VFX artists to help push the boundaries of what can be done visually on television. A new series with a newly regenerated Doctor is in many ways like starting working on the show all over again. Doctor Who is a show that never, ever gets boring.”
Milk’s other current projects include Sherlock and Hercules while Doctor Who series 8 begins shooting in January of 2014.
