  • fireflash and richochet lol

  • HOW did you get Shane Rimmer to take part? This was brilliant! More so than the recent Thunderbirds film!

  • WOW!!!!! Is that spectrum cloudbase being built at 00:59?

  • @gwsr55 It sure is, there are even a couple of SPV's parked nearby

  • This is incredible. The only thing i would change is the music. I think i would make it more epic rather than rock.

  • BRILLIANT....!!!

  • EXCELENT WORK PEOPLE!!!!!!

    PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!!!

  • Oh chaps first rate that would convince any tv com ed to remake the show, you hit the ethos bang on! Only fault ? THE ACTING ! You took the Piss out of your own hard work . Redux those bits and send it to BSkyb you'll hit a winner I can tell you, far better than the movie with far less cash TIP TOP.

  • Oh my god amazing love thunderbirds, do a sequel :D!!!

  • great remake love it please do a sequel

  • Sorry, if the live action scenes were replced with cgi supermarionation it would be a hit - otherwise great animation!

  • epic

    this is one to remember

  • I think the Marionettes had more acting ability. You put all of that time and effort into creating some truly spectacular visuals for it to all fall down because you didn't get some decent dialogue audio? I was heartbroken when the wooden acting (pardon the pun) and dialogue I could barely make out ruined what could have been a slice of pure perfection.

    These are truly minor gripes as the finished product looks polished and overall I am still massively impressed. But next time - re-dub!

  • 00:45 Fulmer Finance!

  • Impressive! Are there plans to follow on from that ending with a sequel?

  • To think that they would find a more sensible way to destroy that meteor than to blow it up, potentially jeapordizing dozens of satellites afterwards.

  • Rimmer was great as Scott!

  • I don't like this movie! I want it have have every Thunderbird! Not just Thunderbird 3!

  • @TheSunflowerguy and if they were working with a hollywood budget you would've. I'm so impressed with this personally, it's brilliant.

    Anyone else see Skybase at the start?

    So many references to the original show I was giddy. Liked and subbed.

  • I say one of the sequels feature thunderbird four on an arctic mission, like a research skimmer went through thin ice and is now lying at the bottom of the arctic sea, with temperatures dropping fast, will thunderbird four be able to survive the fridged temperatures and save the crew

  • Didn't they do a recent remake of Thunderbirds already? Ah I see, a student film

  • Didn't they do a recent remake of Thunderbirds already?

  • One of the best videos I've seen! You did a great job! By the way, who'd you get Shane Rimmer to voice Jeff?

  • Fantastic animation. Very professional keep it up

  • @activat20 Cheers :)

  • I see that the 2053 worldwide razor shortage continues.

  • Times are hard man... ever since Gillette cornered the market and took over the world, but we persevere.

  • Nice. ^^

  • Award material on this one when comparing to the live action movie. Thunderbirds just isn't the same without throwbacks to the amazing designs of the various vehicles and buildings from the 60's show. also, gotta love that you got Mr. Rimmer to lend you his voice. Good work, gentlemen.

  • AMAZING!

  • when are you going to do the next one? this is amazing

  • This is brilliant! must have taken you ages but well worth it!

  • this is fantastic, they should have got you to do the movie!!!!

  • Awesome

  • That was ten times better than the live action american shite hope you will do every episode in the series that would be awesome

  • @Dom737800 as an American I object to the association with that awful movie lolol

  • @steviethek Hahaha It was awful like

  • Impressive job.

    I wonder what you would have done if you had a fraction of the budget of that crappy Thundebirds movie...

  • Awesome.... well done lads!

  • Cool, but advice...

    Shave and a haircut...two bits!

  • was that thunderbird 6 i saw at the beginning

  • @freddykrugerfan TB 6 was the Biplane in the end Credits :)

  • @TB1fan arrrr yeah the one at the beginning was from terror in sky

  • Nice job. Very impressive.

  • Very very good! I hear that Thunderbirds is being remade this year and GERRY ANDERSON is in charge of production!!!! :)

  • The sight of that big beautiful orange thing coming to save the day, brought tears to my eyes.

    BEAUTIFUL WORK

    Makes me SO sad that Gerry's CG Capt Scarlet was scuppered by networks, or this could be HIS work and not that of fans.

  • For no budget, hat's off; the sets and effects were great. But just as the best version of "A Christmas Carol" was the one most faithful (1951), so this would be if the music was more in line with the original (updated yes but replaced no) & if you could find a donor to hire a decent sound editor & some actors with better grooming. What made the series endearing was the retro camp in all areas & too much updating ruins the flavor, a fault of all soulless remakes.

  • I loved it! Fun to watch. Hopefully we see more remakes soon (other than the 2004 garbage)

  • Chris, I enjoyed your very well made Thunderbirds film. Thanks fer keeping the memory of Thunderbirds alive! I hope that yue will git round to making sume more.

  • Pretty darn good! I thought that was Shane Rimmer's voice!

  • @Potemkin1711 That was shane rimmer. just sayin' :P

  • @Doctor699 Well as long as thats all you can find wrong with it :) You are scraping the bottom of the barrel though when it comes to put downs though.

  • @TB1fan i can't help the way i was raised, but this is better than the 2004 shitpile thunderbirds film, i must say.

  • @TB1fan okay, i'll drop the retarted bit! :P

  • @Doctor699 Actually, there is gravity in space...but you are in a state of free fall. Even in earth's atmosphere, if what you are traveling in is falliing, you are"weightless." Thus, the Vomit Comet. Considering circumstances and budget, this is damn good. I admire the ambition and the love for a property that has been so mishandled. Leave it to the fans to do better. Remember Lost in Space...ruined by New Line. Here's hoping the new web series is better.

  • @kennetzel Outside of the atmosphere, if the rocket went straigt up, then there would be gravity, but once in orbit, the mass of the Earth, combined with your speed and the gravitational pull of the earth would make it just about impossible to have gravity.

  • @Doctor699 "retarted" is not a word that you should use, for several reasons

  • @steviethek I'm sorry i said that, you made a good film, and i respect it, i will remove that comment.

  • @steviethek I'm sorry i said that, you made a good film, and i respect it, i have removed that comment, and don't wish to continue the abuse.

  • Only one comment - the accents of the ISS crew didn't match the flags on their uniforms. :-). Apart from that, excellent job!

  • this is amazing im a great fan of the original series and you guys are suberb if thunderbirds is to be brought into the new age yu guys should be in charge, great work also the flight controls look just like thinderbird 1's so that greta likeness

  • this is amazing im a great fan of the original series and you guys are suberb if thunderbirds is to be brought into the new age yu guys should be in charge, great work

  • How did you make the costumes? Wouldn't mind a TB1 one myself!

    Good film, just found it after watching the TB1 Launch film you did 4 years ago! Anymore on the way?

  • 1:44, BEST THUNDERBIRD ROLECALL EVER

  • I can't wait until the sequel

  • Lol the ship in trouble was like a teaser. Is it a teaser? If so, when's the Sequel due? And will you use Thunderbird 2?

  • @HalfBlood2000J I'm just as excited about the possible sequal as you! :)

  • oh, the ship is a reference to ocean pioneer's 1 and 2 from the original series episode "Danger at Ocean Deep"

  • This is just fantastic. Bravo, guys!!!

  • That was FAB. When's the sequel due out?

  • Beutiful work. Incentive, perhaps, to start work finally on my own fan film that I've 'always intended to do'.

  • @WorldVideophone

    You totally should :) Id love to hear more about it. Hows prisoners of SHAD coming by the way?

  • @TB1fan I will! As for Prisoners of Shada, I have overreached myself slightly on that. I intended to do all the character animation myself, but what with all the other assignments I have there really isn't enough time. I do want to do some Doctor Who, though. I've considered doing a stop motion short with a few of those excellent action figures, proper, 25fps stop motion. Green screen some digital sets in. I've done some tests, it looks quite good...

  • @TB1fan As for a Thunderbirds fan short, there's no lack of scripts. I'm working on making digital marionettes, which can be easily edited. I've still got a lot to figure out, but it's too fun not to do it, really.

  • do u still live in belfast? coz i live in hollywood and would love to mabey be in one of your videos

  • NOOO please no live actors

  • That was excellent!! F.A.B.

  • Absolutely Brilliant ! awesome more please !

  • Great work folks. Very, very impressive. I enjoyed that.

  • Fantastic ! 

  • ive got to say after watching this 5 or 6 times the first 3.30 is absolute Gold.

  • At 00:58 is that Cloud Base? and did you design thoughs Fire Tenders at 01:20 if so good on ya nice design like the Flak looking water cannons on them. definantly looks like something out of Thunderbirds.

  • @AaronIzzard Yep :) under construction at Tracy Design and Aerospace, and yep was going to use the City of fire ones but decided to go for something more original.

    Cheers for the Nice comments :)

  • now this is how the 2004 thunderbirds movie should have been like.

    this is a real hommage to the orriginal series, nice work :)

  • Wish list...

    Better music and audio

    Wider cast

    Thunderbird 2 and the mole

    Flipping fantastic work!

  • Excellent work in general, I cant over emphasise what a great job you have done!

    I must agree with a few other posts that the music needs a bit of 'adjustment' less synth and more orchestral. The general audio needs clearing up, is that a youtube problem or could you enhance your speech a bit post production.

    The opening sequence with fireflash, firefly the might atom scenes and other scenes from favourite episodes were particually well done. I was very impressed with the first 2-3 min.

  • @rougueg Cheers rougueg :) Im afraid the audio was generally down to how it was filmed and our lack of experience. This is clearly the films biggest problem and i'm going to take steps to rectify this in the sequel. Im going to buy a Zoom h2 recorder and record the sound externally. Hopefully that should sort it.

  • This was so good I felt like I was part of the action. There's even better hopes that Gerry Anderson gets the rights back to make New Thunderbirds. I want to see that come about. It'll be the greatest animated TV series yet to come.

  • You can't hurry a rendezvous in orbit by increasing your speed. If you've matched orbits already, increasing your speed will only throw you off target by reducing your orbit altitude -- more speed means a faster, and therefore lower orbit, causing a miss.

  • @Davidkevin Didn't know that Cheers for the info.

  • @HitcherThunder Good to know it was good enough to hold your interest till the end though :)

  • I'm gonna have to take exception to NASA being given credit for the design of the International Space Station.

    The clue's in the name.

    It's an international project, with an international design (mostly Russian & European).

  • Nice work guys. How do you do your computer generated effects? Or rather who does them?

  • EPIC! VERY well done in so much places. The combination of reallife and 3D was handled really well, making it seem like they belonged with eachother.

    I specifically like the use of the old sound effects and the combination of new versions and old versions of the crafts and vehicles (and the cameo of cloudbase and tiger moth, nice touch :p).

    The audio however wasn't very spectacular for the rest. The music was okay, but the rest was kind of badly done. But other than that MASSIVE props!!

  • mate you can have rights to my seascape script/book if you want. this is epic, if only you could make a full episode that would be great. congratulations on this work. Epic! :)

  • @HitcherThunder Oh!.... I'm sorry!...Am I suppose to like or dislike what you do? Nobody told me!.....I think this is an Excellent amateur production.The acting and CGI was far better than some professional productions I have watched. I hope they make many more.

  • @darkstarkc99 God know's which "professional" productions you've been watching, but even the acting in "Hollyoaks" and "Waterloo Road" was better than this.

  • @HitcherThunder Thanks for that, I needed a laugh. The day Hollyoaks reaches a level that even approaches "acting" will be the day that pigs fly. Also, darkstarkc99 said that it's better than SOME professional productions they have watched, not every single professional production ever made, and they are correct.

  • @HitcherThunder It's easy to criticize from behind the keyboard isn't it? These guys have talent. And I enjoyed it. Personally, I though your comment was rude and obnoxious! If you didn't like it fine!.... But I'm not you!! and I don't care what you think!...When you grow a set of nads and start producing and posting yourself. you'll find out how much work goes into something like this. then perhaps you'll grow a brain.

  • Awesome!

  • Fantastic!....absolutely FAB You'd never suspect that this was done by fans. The effects, props and music was top notch... even the acting was superb. I sure hope you guys decide to make more!.....Well done!

  • @darkstarkc99 I watched er again ...oath dudes! That'z aussie 4 awesome, LOL. THX-DS ...sharp-share ...Polarcat-7 departin' page ...out!=D

  • This is bloody epic , you need to advetise way more nd get your views up , i can see this being a massive sucsses , nd btw i want one of your coats , where can i get one?

  • @simonkickst Cheers :)

  • @TB1fan nice , i will have to go look those up on ebay , or there is an old army surplice shop near me i can get some of it from XD i still seriously think you should brand them and sell them on , TB10 uniform in a store near you .... lol idk , ide bye 1 !!!

  • The move they made a furrow years a go was rubbish

  • Stunning, brought back some fond memories.

  • Great movie, my kids and I loved it. Excellent effects and script

  • amazing music... love what you did with the Thunderbids March...

  • THAT WAS AWESOME !!!!

    I LOVED THE ANIMATION!!!!1

    GREAT EFFECTS!!!!!

  • Great vid, well done! Loved hearing Shane Rimmer.  More please!!

  • Awesome Job! this has the Feel of the Original Series,with Modern Twist! Thanks for Posting.

  • Thanks for spelling my name right! =P

    Really enjoyed making this actually, so glad it's up!

  • KezzaC

    Thank you very much for this labour of love. It is said you cannot relive your favourite TV shows. I watched this and I very much relived those shows. Many thanks! :D

  • Absolutely fantastic! You've done a really wonderful job.

    Wish you guys could have been handed a big cheque to do the remake, instead of J*nathan Fr*kes.

    And my love of Shane Rimmer - which I thought couldn't go any higher - just shot up another fifty points! Such a good sport, with such a lovely voice still :)

  • Shane Rimmer also did the voice for Scott tracy aswell

  • So will we be looking at a possible Thunderbirds 2011?

  • Superb.. great fun. Well done to your whole team

  • That was epic in its brilliance!

    An amazing in all ways and just...brilliant!

  • This = definition of awesome. LOVE it.

  • This was great; seascape, fireflash, the monorail, cloudbase being built by Jeff Tracy's company....you should be very proud of yourself

  • Loved it! The hardware was great as were the IR operatives (though a but different from the clean-cut look of the original! ;-)

    Especially loved the nods to the original - shane Rimmer playing Jeff (brilliantly!), and references to oxyhydnite and Ocena Pioneer - and especially the borrowed sound effects (do I get a point for spotting the 'radio beam' sound from Sunprobe?)

    i hope you do more of these - and I certainly wish you could have done the 2004 movie instead of Frakes!

  • Thats is really good. Well done.

  • Better than that live action film that was Thunderbirds in name only

  • "Nothing can possibly go wrong!" Famous last words!! §:c)

    Great video... Kudos to all the team! This could very well be a good example to follow to further the life of such series as Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, etc... and why not UFO and Space 1999. Good luck to all!

  • Alan ya need hair cut.

  • i Love the Fireflash Model

  • Awesome!

  • That was absolutely incredible O.O

  • Holy s... just read the description and the credits, did you SERIOUSLY get Shane Rimmer to do the voice of Jeff?!?! O.O

  • Fantastic!!!

    How on earth did you get Shane Rimmer involved into this? His one of my favourite actor. :D

  • @MsipmsonW A friend contacted him and he was happy to help out, he really is a great actor and a lovely guy :)
