The puppets developed by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's AP Films team were of a unique design. Supermarionation relied on the characters being able to speak without the traditionally jerky movements that would be caused by tugging on a string to encourage them to do so. In this behind the scenes look at the development of Supermarionation puppets, former crew members come together to share behind the scenes stories from the making of classic series like Thunderbirds, Stingray, Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Four Feather Falls.
'Filmed in Supermarionation' is a feature-length documentary that profiles the meteoric rise of the team who brought these creations to the big and small screen. Find out more at: century21films...
Featuring Mary Turner, Roger Woodburn, David Elliott and Des Saunders.
