I think, interestingly, this oil rig rescue
:07:07
is a great combination of CG, complete CG ships,
:07:14
a model shoot
on a one-tenth scale model of the oil rig,
:07:22
separate pyrotechnic elements -
:07:25
the fire elements were enhanced
at a second shoot.
:07:35
CG rain as well as live rain on the set.
:07:40
The cockpits were sets,
obviously the exteriors were all CG.
:07:46
So it's a great meeting
of lots of filmmaking techniques
:07:49
that hopefully no one in the audience
will ever see where the edges are.
:07:54
There, in that scene,
we hope to have introduced the Thunderbirds,
:07:58
who our heroes aspire to be.
:08:07
Good, cheap, adolescent humour.
:08:11
In comes our leading lady.
:08:18
Originally we designed a shot
in which she walked into the room
:08:23
and brought her own light, magically.
:08:28
Certain people thought better of that concept
so we have this entrance.
:08:32
But she looks fabulous -
Marit Allen designed her clothes.
:08:36
Marit Allen is our costume designer
:08:39
and, appropriately,
was the editor of vogue in the '70s,
:08:43
when Lady Penelope was all things Chanel.
:08:51
Here we are at Wellington College,
where we pretended these kids went to school.
:08:57
Now the great introduction of FAB 1.
