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.
The original short film I made a couple of years before this was just the hardware. Now technology has evolved such that I could do what I always dreamed of - add characters and a story.
This is a fan film aimed at those who love the slow over the top Anderson mechanical aesthetic. So I didn't cut much of the assembly procedure.
I hope you enjoy this film and what may well come after it.
