Holy fuck, that looks awful. Again, why?!
It looks like a mix of GTA V and a demon.
Good lord.
You know it would have been cliche, but Jack being off screen or in silhouette would have worked much better for that. Hell if they to do absolutely feature him, they should have done a single two second shot at the end and had all the SFX team spending their time just getting that shot right.

Sorry but I don't see BBC pulling it off with face tech. They don't have the resources like ILM.
I agree. They had access to McGann for a few days. They could have filmed some scenes with him while he was there.
I think BBC was just giddy to use the face map tech they acquired.
Look at Eight. He looks like an off center drawing

The Sixth was also neatly composed, methinks. And the FIfth. But the rest.... for some reason, the most iconic Doctor, the Fourth, is way too far to the left.
No, there's a logic to it, but it's a logic that breaks down at the apex.
The first Doctor is in the center. Second to (the viewer's) left, then the Doctors alternate in order right-left-right. The "evens" are on the left, the "odds" are on the right, oldest to newest.
The War Doctor should be where the Ninth Doctor is and vice versa for the established pattern to hold ("evens" and "odds" breaking down when we get into the Eight-War-Nine sequence), but I understand why he's not -- the three actors who are really there are in the center.
Actually War should be where Nine is, Nine should be where Ten is, and Ten should be where War is.
I can see that -- you're counting War as an "odd" -- but then the back-and-forth from incarnation to incarnation across the left-to-right is as broken as it is now at the apex.
It's all metaphorical, anyway.
I can see why they put the Ninth where he is. Yes, the Ninth is actually the 10th incarnation, but, he's the 9th actor and will probably always be called the Ninth Doctor.
You win the day.. I quite literally spit my coffee when I read that.. Completely spot on as to how they would do it.
Well done, sir. Well done!
Didn't one of the Who novels explain the "spit-take" thing?
Well, they have a known track record of releasing casting news especially just before they do location shooting, so they can control that information to their benefit versus letting the rumour mill gut the story itself (at least in the Beeb's mindset). Works most of the time, but obviously someone dropped the ball and the papers got publishing before the official news release.

This is how I viewed the placement of the Doctors:
Hartnell has the place of honour, being the First.
Smith has the centre of the formation, being the incumbent at the time.
He's flanked by Tennant and Hurt, as they're the other two who had roles in the special.
They each have their immediate predecessor standing beside them.
Then from there on it's just bouncing back and forth backwards through the rest of the, Sixth and Seventh have the third spot on either side, then Fourth and Fifth have the next spot, with Second and Third at the ends.
That's horrible! Although I don't expect anyone to zoom that close in. It's like someone used MS PAINT and used the rectangle option to cut out a picture of Colin Baker
See, I thought it was...
Hartnell at the top because he's the first, then,
2nd on the left, 3rd on the right, then going back and forth... (4th or the left, 5th on the right, and so on...) in order until you reach Smith in the middle.
It's in order of appearance of Doctor--save for Smith and Hurt--rather than in order of regeneration--as Hurt and Eccleston would have to be switched.
Edited to add:
Maybe we're saying the same thing, just differently
This story
This isn't a new concept, but I think it's the first time I've seen it in print.
has Peter saying he's already filmed his death, despite supposedly being in the x-mas special

One way I could see them do it, is recycling Moffat's idea for series 5 if Tennant signed up, with his regeneration/dying moments being see in the first episode, but throughout the series we see a younger Tennant as the incumbent doctor, before seeing events fold out as to how he ends up in the situation we see him in the first episode. To a degree, I can see parts of this idea being recycled for Capaldi's regeneration.
Talking with a friend about the fact he'd filmed his regeneration - but was still in Xmas Special was having him regenerate at the end of the season, the new Doctor debuts but - it's a Multi-Doctor story with Twelve and Bill alongside Thirteen for the duration, ending with a literal passing of the torch as Twelve shakes hands with his replacement and leaves him with the literal keys to the TARDIS.
