Gerry Anderson's Firestorm | The Trouble with Puppets...

[@FirestormHQ]

Puppets might be difficult to work with sometimes, but we still love them!

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

AT least they do not GO ON STRIKE. Or ARGUE with the director. I HOPE...😆 BTW, you SOLVED the walking/running problem. 👌👌 FWIW: I _previously guessed_ you were using green puppeteers/rods {like how Doctor Octopus was partially done in SPIDERMAN 2}, and looking at your website I see I guess right. Good on 'ya!

More Firestorm PLEASE!!! I LOVED the first episode!! It’s FANTASIC!! The puppeteers did an AMAZING JOB!!

I loved the first episode.....can't wait to see where the story goes. We bought our 1yo ( in 2 weeks) grandson the 50th Anniversary "Thunderbirds" dvd set. I can't wait to share the Anderson Universe with him.

Can't wait for the next episode

I love this so much, I was disappointed with the Thunderbirds reboot. It lacks that practical touch all the classic Anderson shows have, that feeling that you could reach out and touch everything onscreen. Honestly until I heard about Firestorm I thought that style of television was going the same way as the Dodo. So thank you, just like that I'm a kid watching the Thunderbirds re-runs again

[@FirestormHQ]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Anderson Entertainment were not involved with the Thunderbirds reboot, so you can be fairly sure that this will feel different and more 'genuinely Anderson' :)

@@FirestormHQ Well hats off to all of you, good to see the old ways are still the best ways

I,m a lifetime Gerry Anderson fan of your father,s work. Congrats on firestorm Jamie &. Company. I can’t wait for the future episodes take time to develop your characters.

[@FirestormHQ]

Thanks - we really appreciate that!

[@RobotPorter]

So excited about this show. Can't get enough of these behind the scenes videos.

[@FirestormHQ]

Plenty more to come! :)

[@Lumibear.]

It’s all looking and sounding great! Sounds like like a good team of talented people! :)

[@FirestormHQ]

Thanks so much! We're really excited :)

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Great video...👍

[@SimpsonsClips24]

Wonder what Gerry himself would've thought of all this? Glad to hear there's a full series in production - if you need any writers, there's an aspiring one standing right here! ;)

[@higbeeproductions2340]

I understand it’s not always easy working with Puppets

[@parkerproductions4546]

Very insightful! Thank you! %)

[@FirestormHQ]

:) Much more to come. Thank you!

[@TheRatsCast]

When is that next episode, I wonder? It's been a month, and one would like you have the full show recorded already before posting the first. Or are you guys making them as you go? What's out time frame like? Can't wait for episode 2!! So hyped!

[@FirestormHQ]

The pilot minisode was a proof of concept. We're just starting pre-production on a full series of 26 episodes. You'll be able to follow our progress on this channel! :)

@@FirestormHQ >>> COOL!!!!

[@brettwalters-n4u]

Man if the new Thunderbirds had been done with these puppets, YES!

[@peterjf7723]

Interesting video. The rod controlled puppets in my view look better than string puppets.Interesting thay you chose to go with the out of proportion puppets - large heads with big eyes and small bodies, rather than the more human proportioned models as used in Captain Scarlet and Joe 90. I like that this is actual models rather than computer animation, even if CGI is used a little having real physical puppetts makes it feel more real.

[@meertenwelleman6249]

Why are there no names?

[@gregggaldo9181]

Will Captain Scarlett and Ms. Penelope show up in separate cameo's?!

[@FreeTheDonbas]

Who is the babe? 😍

[@thechamchamofimdb4594]

It's a big NO from me. You blew it by making the "girl" even less attractive than Thunderbirds Are Go did.
