THE MAKING OF SCI-FI CLASSICS: BEHIND THE SCENES OF THUNDERBIRDS, SUPERCAR, CAPTAIN SCARLET & MORE

In this documentary investigation of his life in television, Gerry Anderson is interviewed about his rise in the film and television industry – assembling a team of artists and technicians who would create some of the most beloved characters ever to appear on British screens. From Thunderbirds to Joe 90, Stingray to Captain Scarlet, and Supercar to Fireball XL5, the team at AP Films and Century 21 pioneered the arts of television puppetry and practical special effects.

Their action-heavy, SFX-driven TV series brought in huge global audiences and dazzled them with imaginative stories and world-leading drama.

'Stand By For Action' is available in extended form on DVD from: https://century21films.bigcartel.com/

About Me:

In addition to our regular filmmaking services, we specialise in ‘Supermarionation’ - the puppetry filming technique used to make shows like Thunderbirds and have collaborated with ITV repeatedly to provide specialised services.
