    What's your favourite classic Anderson puppet series and why? And what familiar elements can you see in Gerry Anderson's Firestorm?

    • @matanui21

      Thunderbirds will always hold a special place in my heart, but I just can't get the Stingray theme out of my head.....

      As a boy anything with aliens, Secret Service became a personal favorite of mine later on (underrated show), thanks Anderson's and bless you Stanley Unwin.

      Even though I enjoyed practically all of them the Terrahawks series with its tongue in cheek plots and characters was absolutely brilliant

      Me and mum love Captain scarlet we would Constantly Act out the opening scence and always laugh on how stupid we must look while doing it. And thunderbirds are go was my childhoods favourite i couldnt thank gerry anderson Enough for it but i love it that knowing we're still going to have a Gerry andetson series Up on t.v soon.

      Captain Scarlet is my favourite, as I loved how realistic the dolls looked. I also liked how threatening the Mysterons were.

    This is amazing to find. My mother Sheena made many of the puppets for this series and I grew up with little wood and fibreglass Captain Scarlet parts around the house. My dad John was the puppeteer for Captain Green, too! Thanks.

    Firestorm has a Stingray meets Captain Scarlet feel to it, so excited to see the series

    My favourite is Fireball XL-5 as that introduced me to the world of Gerry Anderson and the various wonderful shows that followed.

    Can't wait for this series! My favourites are Joe 90 and Captain Scarlet, let's hope it's a good as those two.

    Firestorm wow, This is so cool can wait to a able to see this. I’ve watched Gerry Anderson shows since I was little.
    The first show I remember was Fireball XL5. My parents got my the ship along with Barbies and model horses.
    My parent must have been pretty advanced to let their little girl play with to rockets. But with the 1st Gemini flight happening 2 years earlier,
    Maybe that’s not such a far stretch. I wish I’d had kept the ship though cause it would be hanging from the ceiling in my apartment.
    Not bad for 60 year old lady

      We're very proud of it, but we're still developing it even now... we hope what you'll see on the screen in the series will be even better!

  • @stevemartin6144
    @stevemartin6144 ปีที่แล้ว

    The first that I saw as a kid was Fireball XL5 and all the kids at school called me Steve Zodiac. Next was Supercar followed by Stingray and Thunderbirds. I never saw any of the others. Great memories!

    I would liked to see a scene shot of Thunderbird 3 because I'm always curious to know how they manage to pull it up from under neath the round house at it's huge size while getting ready to launch.

    Who's here from the Clone Wars? The Clone Wars' animation style's inspired by this! Filoni said he wanted to make the animation stand out from every other 3D animated movie and show at the time, so he decided to make the artstyle and animation based off Supermarionation! He created one of the BEST artstyles I've ever seen from ANY 3D animated show and movie.

    Most television viewers see Gerry Anderson as the Thunderbirds creator. Many of his fans see him as a master animator. He inspired Nick Park with his creations to make stop motion fun again.

    • @darthdmc
      @darthdmc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can see the Thunderbirds references in Wallace and Gromit, just by the way Wallace is transported from his bedroom to his vehicle. A clear tip of the hat to an iconic show.

  • @derekhobbs1102

    Four Feather Falls was the first Anderson series to use the electronic lip-sync technology developed by APF director of photography John Read.

      My favorite series of the Supermarionation canon was Joe 90, which was dark even by today’s standards.

  • @kitaandcraigjope7552

    Why has there been no News since the pilot? Even without the current problems it has been years! Many are now thinking the whole idea has been abandoned. I certainly hope not. Just to know something is actually happening would be better than nothing at all.

  • @vidoodles
    @vidoodles 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, though Chris needs to invest in a better recording setup. A better mic maybe an isolation shield.

    • @FirestormHQ

    So...sticks and string had to wait for technology to catch up? Neat.

  • @Musicradio77Network

    This was way before Jim Henson came to the scene where he created the “Muppets”. If you’ve saw the 4-part “DefunctTV” mini-series about Jim Henson, this is what you’re expecting.

    I hadn’t realised the mouth control technique was just a dude using a switch, I’d always assumed it was a direct reaction to the voice, like the lights on the new Daleks, so in a way even that was just another form of puppetry, then, interesting.

    • @FirestormHQ
      @FirestormHQ  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sometimes the lipsync was automated, and sometimes it was manual. The automatic system was somewhat unreliable in the Supermarionation days!

    • @fastertrackcreative
      @fastertrackcreative 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the Dalek head-lights are also by remote as voice activation can be hit and miss. Not 100% sure though.

  • @deltahalo241
    @deltahalo241 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So we've got:
    Supermarionation
    Hypermationation
    and now
    Ultramarionation
    I wonder what they're gonna call the next version of marionation.

  • @ewaf88
    @ewaf88 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I wonder why the production crew have made the puppet's heads out of proportion again.

    • @FirestormHQ
      @FirestormHQ  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It's a stylistic choice. We feel that puppets are puppets. If you try to make them human, just do live action. Captain Scarlet, for example, suffered from the fact that human proportion puppets are very difficult to move and perform as their caricatured movements are at odds with their 'realisitc' proportions.

    Well it’s quite clear that despite the name Super Mario Nation has nothing to do with Nintendo, but I hope that changes soon, I mean come on it’s pretty much begging for it
