FILMED IN SUPERMARIONATION: A HISTORY OF THE FUTURE BY STEPHEN LA RIVIÈRE

From the author:

"Four year in the making and it's finally here... The most comprehensive history of the Supermarionation shows ever written:

 

FILMED IN SUPERMARIONATION: A HISTORY OF THE FUTURE

 

"They are all most keen and enthusiastic to make these the best puppet films ever made. I too feel that this is a wonderful opportunity, and may well be the beginning of something big!" -- 'The Adventures of Twizzle' Puppeteer, Joy Laurey. August 16th 1957

 

It's a well worn story that has been told in countless books, magazines and documentaries: the story of a group of film makers who decided to set up a production company in an old mansion in Maidenhead and waited for the phone to ring. After six months of silence, they were on the verge of liquidation when a children's novelist asked them if they would like to make some puppet films.

 

It's a touching story.

 

It's also completely untrue.

 

Filmed in Supermarionation is the story as you've never heard it before of the puppet empire that rose from the Slough Trading Estate in the 1960s and created shows such as Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90. Starting right at the beginning with Gerry Anderson's directorial debut in 1955 and finishing on the day the puppet studios closed in 1969, the book charts the rise and fall of the A.P. Films / Century 21 Organisation's 'Supermarionation' films. The book features a wealth of new information, hundreds of previously unseen photographs and is based on hours of interviews with cast and crew, newspaper articles and previously unpublished paperwork.

 

So if you want to know:

 

  • How a two line advertisement changed television history

  • What role the Conservative Government played in killing off Mike Mercury's career

  • How three adverts helped lead to a multi-million pound empire

  • What significance a Ford Anglia car held in the history of 1960s television

  • What happened to their 21st Century Rolls?

  • And why Slough Council tried to sue Century 21?

Then this is the book for you. If none of that interests you, then just pick it up for the scandal. Well, it's not really scandal. Just a bit contentious... And if you don't like scandal, then buy it for the happy stuff, of which there is lots."

"When Sheriff Tex Tucker saves a young Indian boy, his father – a great Indian chief – gives him the gift of four magic feathers. Two of them allow the Sheriff’s companions (Dusty the dog and Rocky the horse) to talk and the other two allow his guns to fire automatically whenever he is in danger.  This charming puppet series was Gerry Anderson’s first Supermarionation series – a process which uses electronic lip-synch and eye movement, a technique he was later to perfect on shows like SUPERCAR and THUNDERBIRDS..."

TEAM AMERICA:  WORLD POLICE!

 

Okay, not really a Gerry Anderson's production.  Okay... not REALLY something for under-aged kids to watch.  But definitely worth mentioning on this site for any interested adult to see.  Team America: World Police is the crude, explicit, violent, sometimes bad-tasted, and controversial movie by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (creators of the equally non-politically correct South Park TV series), where all the characters are puppets - a-la-Thunderbirds style.  The movie,  one of last Summer's success sleepers in theatre, follows the adventures of a team of not-so-apt terrorist fighters, who watch over the world  from their secret headquarters inside Mount Rushmore - and leap into action whenever stereotyped baddies threaten world peace. 

 

It's the same kind of humour you find in South Park, so if this the kind of humour is for you, you'll enjoy this movie.

 

Team America: World Police is available ince May 17, 2005 in North America (Region 1) and since on May 23, 2005 in UK, in Region 2.  The Region 1 version of the movie is available in three different editions:  a full screen format, a wide screen format and a special collector's unrated edition, wide screen format.

 

To order any of the copies of  Team America: World Police,  either in U.K. at Amazon.co.uk , or North America, at Amazon.com , you can simply click one of the links below.
