I bring to you terror and joy.

The terror comes from this being the opening to a Gerry Anderson Supermarionation series. The technology to make these shows was amazing, using radio controlled faces with expertly puppeteered bodies to make affordable sci-fi for kids.

The outsized heads and lack of "chibification" however, made them beautifully uncanny. Delicious nightmares made plastic.

The joy is from the jaunty little ending credits tune "My Heart would be a Fireball", a wacky little pop love song in which the singer professes that his love is akin to the ship in the series. And you know how I love a kid's show theme trying really hard to be a pop song.

Also the main character's name is "Steve Zodiac" and not enough shows have the commitment to sparkle motion to do stuff like that these days.

Fabulous Shooting!

A little cross breed facelift of FAB 1 from Thunderbirds. Taking elements from the 60’s design and applying some of the modern touches with a little flair thrown in. Enjoy!

Can't believe I got through all that Captain Scarlet stuff without mentioning once how I had him turn into a werewolf in a fancomic

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Stingray in its pen.

I watched this as a kid. Found the puppets disturbing (head and eyes way TOO BIG for the bodies), but I loved all the mocha parts!

Frames from the amazing, 1960s tv series, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons from Gerry Anderson. Having had a hit with Thunderbirds (1965–1966), Anderson moved on to produce another "supermarionation" hit with  Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967). I've been revisiting the work of Gerry Anderson recently, having discovered his strange and nearly forgotten photo-comic book series Candy (featured here a few posts back). I see now, more clearly than before, what a master of production design he was, or at least, his team was. The sets, while miniature, feature the most considered (and stylish) design details - modern furniture, colour coordinated wall and material colours, clothing on the characters are very on-trend (for the late 60s), the natural landscapes are incredible and detailed, and of course, the design of the vehicles is particularly impressive. Cars, jets, rockets, tanks, flying bases, on and one. And Gerry Anderson loved pyrotechnics - there are lots of fires and explosions. He managed to mitigate miniaturism (made up word) within these effects, which when produced at a small scale, can feel, well, small. His explosions feel big. But they are smooth, in terms of frame rate - they've not simply been slowed down, or if they have, they were shot at a high speed frame rate that allowed slowing down in post-production. There's an incredible moon base explosion in Season 1 Episode 1: The Mysterons (around 3:07) where you can see the impact of the explosion creating turbulence across the dust on the lunar surface. It's an impressive, special effects, attention to detail.

These frames give a glimpse into the impressive production design of the Captain Scarlet series, which is often overlooked, with the focus being on the puppets.
