Description These were the first monsters on Dr. Who to really freak me out. Granted, I was watching that episode at 2 in the morning, but I digress...
I was thinking about this earlier today, and just thought it would make the perfect De-Motivational Poster for Dr. Who, so here it is!
I claim no rights to the picture in the poster. I found it randomly off of Google.

Actually they didn't use statues, each angel was portrayed by a real live person.

And the scariest monsters in Doctor Who history, too.....*shudder* I'd really, really hate to be the guy who has to wheel the statues into storage every night.....and then turn the lights off......

People often say "like the devil is following me.", though I don't like to say that so I just say Daleks And I'm more afraid of Daleks than Weeping Angels to be honest... Daleks have no feelings ._. they will kill me instantly XD

people have probably already told you this, but the Weeping angel statues are ACTUAL PEOPLE in costume. Β i mean, sure, you could do cheap animation, but, Β they had other ideas.

And that's why they're so brilliant

Cheap and easy to pull off, with an ingenious concept behind it. The monster you cannot look away from.

actually these aren't real statues
they are actually women in costumes
wich is alot cheaper than having to make a statue of each different pose

Alpha0177 [2013-01-01 23:53:42 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I read the previous comments, didn't know the angels were actually real actors. They had to be wearing masks, for sure, though. Even if they had used statues, they'd be foam, so that'd be even cheaper.

Uh, actually, the Weeping Angels were real people in costumes, which made it even more impressive!!!

... And my dad said the same thing. He said that it was funny because they didn't have a budget for special effects.

Lol yeah I was about to say. And if you payed attention to the final angel in the most recent episode you can see her arm hair...so...I would say that's proof they're actual people and not statues.

Really! I haven't noticed that! But in the bloopers/gag reel for season 5 (I think) a couple actors in their Weeping Angel make-up are dancing around the set! It's hilarious and creepy at the same time!!!

... But all the Weeping Angels are actually live actors. (Or, rather, actresses.) They're not statues.

LolaMonique In reply to Hannah-D-L4wL13t [2011-07-08 00:21:35 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I know. I thought I was so witty and clever when I made the thing, and then one of my friends tells me the next day that they're not really statues.
But I kept it up because, whether they're statues or people in make-up, the point still stands that, compared to a lot of the other aliens and beasts we see on Doctor Who, the Angels have perhaps the cheapest special effects of the entire show.

Except they aren't statues. They're people in costumes. Staying perfectly still. And being batsh*t creepy.

LolaMonique In reply to MeThePerson7 [2011-05-31 00:56:38 +0000 UTC]

Yes, yes. I've had comments all around about how they aren't really statues.
The point remains the same: it's simple effects. Whether they're statues, people in makeup, or whatever, all the scenes need are some editing and it's set. Compared to all the other aliens we see on the show, I'd call that pretty cheap.
(Sorry if I sounded a bit bitchy in this, just trying to get the point across. Thanks for leaving a comment! )

You do realise, wheneverey do a weeping angels episode, half of the angels you see are people in makeup
?

LolaMonique In reply to SheIsRawring [2011-05-26 03:07:25 +0000 UTC]

Yes, yes, I was made aware of this a couple of days after I'd made the thing, by a friend of mine.
But still, compared to all the other aliens we see on the show, a few statues (and people in makeup) still make the cheapest effects the show's had. The new series at least.
Even so, those angels are the creepiest damn things I have ever seen...

It's true, they're just still images most of the time :L so they don't have to do much with the spexial FX But imagine the makeup budget xD
