In 1966 the movie version of the Thunderbirds TV show hit the big screen. It opened with a lengthy launch sequence for one of the greatest guest vehicles in the Thunderbirds universe - the Zero X Martian Space Vehicle. I decided to do my own version of the launch, using CG modelling and production. I decided not to update the ship itself much, but everything else gets a thorough make-over.
This started out as a fun project where I could sharpen my CG skills - but then I decided I wanted to see the whole launch, just for the hell of it.
I hope you enjoy this short film - there is no story - its just machinery. But for those who love such things, this is for you.
