Description
The documentary features specially filmed footage of the puppets themselves, behind the scenes footage, rare archive footage, recreations of the Special Effects techniques used in Thunderbirds and other Gerry Anderson shows and "brand new" high-definition restorations of the original shows. Filmed in Supermarionation is a documentary about the many series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
The book also covers the Anderson's efforts from the beginning including Torchy and Four Feather Falls.
Scott Tracy is modelled after Sean Connery, who was James Bond in the years Thunderbirds was in production and originally on air. Lady Penelope, Parker and a host of original cast and crew take us on a two-hour journey about the history of Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and others. In 2015, the works of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson continued to be recognised by the Cult TV Awards, with Steve Zodiac from Fireball XL5 added to the Hall of Fame for 'Animated Character', actress Wanda Ventham, one of the female leads in UFO, added to the Actress Hall of Fame, and the documentary "Filmed in Supermarionation" was hailed as the 'Blu-ray/DVD Presentation of the Year'. Filmed in Supermarionation tells the story of the development of Supermarionation, a term coined to describe the unique form of puppetry employed by the teams at AP Films and Century 21 studios under the watchful eyes of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Then, Parker gave the audience an insight into Century 21's early days, of making TV shows and adverts with puppets on strings.
For the first time, a complete history of the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson television productions which pioneered science-fiction special effects. Thunderbirds', 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons', 'Supercar', 'Stingray', 'Fireball XL-5' and more, has been revised and expanded in paperback form. David Graham was later interviewed and also talked about the story about the Pub and waiter who helped him invent the voice for Parker.
Film historian Steven La Rivière, whose documentary about Supercar was the final word on the series, takes you behind-the-scenes and covers every aspect of the creation and production of such television shows as Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Secret Service, and Joe 90. The documentary is hosted by Lady Penelope and Parker, the puppet stars of Thunderbirds, who seek to uncover the story behind their creation. Dialogue was recorded with members of the original Thunderbirds voice cast and puppets and sets were recreated to as close to the specification of the original Supermarionation series as possible.
