Terry Handley: Difference between revisions

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the [[rostrum camera]]man who shot the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[title sequence]]s designed by [[Sid Sutton]]. He therefore worked on the so-called "neon logo" sequences fronting [[Tom Baker]], [[Peter Davison]] and [[Colin Baker]] episodes.   Eventually, Sutton convinced [[John Nathan-Turner]] to give Handley an equal credit for the title sequence, but it was only placed on ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]''.

Sutton's design required the use of a rostrum camera, which, at the time, was an innovation for ''Doctor Who''. Sutton would later heap praise on his cameraman. {{quote|Tony Handley, who was a very famous rostrum camera operator at the time . . . put an awful lot into the titles. He had to invent ways of travelling through the starfields and he had to test all the various components . . . I mean, you don't just stick something under a rostrum and shoot it; the exposure has to be ''absolutely'' perfect."|[[DOC]]: ''[[The Star Man]]''}}
