Grandpa on twink

Description:Production[ edit ] American Western television shows such as Wagon Train and Gunsmoke were popular with British audiences, therefore Gerry Anderson and his business partner Arthur Provis decided to make a cowboy series, based on an idea offered to them by Barry Gray. Anderson's aim was to make the puppets look as realistic as possible, the beginning of the Supermarionation puppetry process, although that term was not coined until his next series, Supercar. The heads also contained sound-activated solenoids , which allowed the puppets' lips to move automatically in synchronisation with the dialogue. Except for the pilot episode, which was made in AP Films ' studios at Islet Park , [3] the series was produced in a converted warehouse in the Slough Trading Estate. For example, to achieve the effect of muzzle flashes , small specks of black paint were carefully applied to the 35 mm negatives so they would appear as white flashes on the finished prints.
