This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Supermarionation is a technique developed in the 1960s where marionette heads had Solenoid motors that moved the lower lip to give the impression of speaking. The technique was first used in the 1960s British series Supercar, produced by Gerry Anderson, who would later become famous for series such as Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons, that also used the technique. He coined the name from combining the words "Super", "Marionette", and "Animation". As the technique simply cannot portray walking convincingly, most of the action is oriented around futuristic vehicles to compensate. In fact, Anderson's company proved so skilled in model shots of vehicles that it could easily create spectacular scenes in a day that other companies tried for weeks to create before delegating to these experts. |
