Filmed in Supermarionation is a 2014 documentary film about Gerry Anderson, Sylvia Anderson and the struggling group of filmmakers who found success producing space-age puppet television series such as Supercar, Joe 90, Fireball XL5, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Thunderbirds. Thunderbirds', 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons', 'Supercar', 'Stingray', 'Fireball XL-5' and more, has been revised and expanded in paperback form.

Scott Tracy is modelled after Sean Connery, who was James Bond in the years Thunderbirds was in production and originally on air. Lady Penelope, Parker and a host of original cast and crew take us on a two-hour journey about the history of Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and others. Upon release, Filmed in Supermarionation was generally well received by critics writing across a wide range of publications. Film historian Steven La Rivière, whose documentary about Supercar was the final word on the series, takes you behind-the-scenes and covers every aspect of the creation and production of such television shows as Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Secret Service, and Joe 90.The book also covers the Anderson's efforts from the beginning including Torchy and Four Feather Falls.

Filmed in Supermarionation is notable for the filmmakers' efforts to create new puppet and special effects sequences that match the look and feel of the programmes produced by AP films during the 1960s. Apparently, Century 21 stills photographer Doug Luke was interviewed for the documentary, but is neither on it nor the deleted scenes. Directed by Stephen La Rivière, and based on his book of the same name, the film was favorably received by critics. David Graham was later interviewed and also talked about the story about the Pub and waiter who helped him invent the voice for Parker.

It perhaps would have been interesting to hear more about their legacy, films like Team America: World Police were clearly very inspired by Thunderbirds in particular. Read all The definitive documentary about the iconic puppetry technique developed by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, Supermarionation was used in all their programmes throughout the 1960s including Stingray, Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds.

Rich Trenholm of CNET was similarly positive in stating, "the documentary's vibrant storytelling captures the vitality, innocence and sense of joy of the series themselves". This full-color art book is packed with hundreds of never-before-seen production photos, artwork, and illustrations making this the definitive book on the subject.

Filmed in Supermarionation tells the story of the development of Supermarionation, a term coined to describe the unique form of puppetry employed by the teams at AP Films and Century 21 studios under the watchful eyes of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. This allowed for the image to be manipulated in post production to better match the unique qualities of 1960s film photography. Filmed in Supermarionation is a documentary about the many series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Dialogue was recorded with members of the original Thunderbirds voice cast and puppets and sets were recreated to as close to the specification of the original Supermarionation series as possible.
