It was Gerry and his team who developed the technique of 'Supermarionation', which they first used on their children鈥檚 puppet series 鈥楩our Feather Falls鈥�, set in the Wild West.
First the soundtrack for the voices was recorded. Then when the puppets were being filmed the electric signal from the taped dialogue was hooked up to sensors in the puppets鈥� heads. In this way the puppets鈥� lips were controlled and moved in perfect sync to the soundtrack. The technique was further developed in 鈥楽upercar鈥� and 鈥楩ireball XL5鈥�, and by the time Thunderbirds was created they were experts in the genre. makes it the success it is today.
