Derek Meddings was the special miniature effects genius behind scores of amazing model-heavy sequences in films like Superman (I and II), Batman, Krull, Cape Fear, and the James Bond franchise. It was on the Supermarionation series of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, however, that he honed his craft. Across Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90, and The Secret Service, Derek and his team of artists and technicians perfected the art of the miniature explosion. In this video from 'Filmed in Supermarionation', friends and colleagues describe the impact his work had on the various productions they collaborated on at Century 21 and AP Films.

About Me:
Century 21 Films Ltd is a multi-faceted production company whose work spans drama to documentary, miniature effects to puppet shows. It was founded by a group of filmmakers who first collaborated on Filmed in Supermarionation, the story of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's hit puppet shows including Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet.
Since then, we have worked for a multitude of high-profile clients including ITV, BBC, Mammoth Productions, British Film Institute and the Halifax working on projects such Thunderbirds, Endeavour, Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone.
In addition to our regular filmmaking services, we specialise in ‘Supermarionation’ - the puppetry filming technique used to make shows like Thunderbirds and have collaborated with ITV repeatedly to provide specialised services. Our work has been featured on The One Show, This Morning, Good Morning Britain, BBC News, ITV News and Mastermind.
