Thunderbirds - Flying High

Like Fireball XL5 and Stingray before it, Thunderbirds was originally slated to have an end credits theme song, 'Flying High'. After hearing it, Gerry Anderson ultimately decided that having a song over the end credits was not suited to the series, so 'Flying High' was nixed and replaced by the 'Thunderbirds March' a mere fortnight before it was first shown.


'Flying High' was released on the soundtrack CD 'Thunderbirds 2' as a bonus track, and I wondered what it would be like to see it alongside the end credits. I had to slightly lengthen the close up shots of Thunderbirds 1 & 2, as well as the ATV logo, to have the video match the length of the song. It's still not as good as I'ld like, but I feel I did a decent job for a first time Windows Movie Maker user.

Enjoy!

Actually - if you've watched 'Richochet' in the series you will have. It's one of the songs Rick O'Shea plays.

Before you all give me a thumbs down, I think Thunderbirds is the best series ever made, and this song is pretty cool, but I don't think it works over the end credits. I'm gald they decided to go with the traditional march instead.

Cool song, although I prefer the one they used in the end

This should have been used as the closing theme.

I saw no problems with it.
