For the eleventh series of Doctor Who, the beloved sci-fi show's title sequence has taken a trippier turn.
The latest season features Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor, and she's landed with a shiny new theme and a kaleidoscopic title sequence -- albeit missing the TARDIS whizzing around -- which debuted on second episode "The Ghost Monument."
The sequence is the work of a visual effects artist only known as John Smith, who made his own opening back in 2010 as a 16-year-old fan and posted it to YouTube.
"I had no idea what I was doing, but was so excited for Matt Smith’s first series that I decided to try what every Whovian-turned-VFX-Artist does at some point… making my own title sequence for the show," Smith wrote in a Facebook post.
Eight years later, Smith was tapped to create a real sequence for the latest series.
"I still can’t believe this has actually happened, or understand why anyone would be crazy enough to trust me with something so important and iconic," he added.
