Working with puppets and miniature effects can be difficult... very difficult! Here the crew from AP Films reveal the behind the scenes stories of the bloopers and outtakes that plagued their productions while Gerry Anderson recalls the effort put into getting Supercar to fly. The real story of how they 'Filmed in Supermarionation'.
During the 1960s, the Supermarionation team at AP Films and Century 21 made huge advancements in television puppetry and practical special effects thanks to their work on a score of cult favourites like Thunderbirds, Captain Scalet, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Joe 90 and more.
