:27:00
and Jeff and the boys are trying to survive
in outer space on Thunderbird 5.

:27:06
So in this reel of the film,
:27:09
we have to keep the audience informed
of where our three stories are taking place

:27:13
and yet intercut them in a way that's not confusing.
:27:19
Here we took the opportunity
:27:22
to poke a little fun at the original Thunderbirds,
as you'll see.

:27:45
Shameless laugh!
:27:49
Again, you can see how the sound design
helped the visual effects design.

:27:54
The cat eyes, that we put in in postproduction,
:27:56
obviously, were to
signal when The Hood was using his powers.

:28:03
We gave that optical to Glenn Freemantle
:28:07
and what he did was create the signature sound.
:28:11
So even if it happens off camera, later in the film,
:28:14
you'll understand what it is
because you've referenced it a few times.

:28:20
This sequence is virtually created
from smoke and mirrors.

:28:24
Most of these changeovers were CG.
:28:29
The desktops rising up... The only thing
that really happened was the floor spun.

:28:35
But you'd never know it.
:28:38
And any moment, Jack...
:28:42
Meanwhile, back on Thunderbird 5...
:28:46
which was like shooting on the Enterprise,
:28:48
complete with sparks, explosions,
constant wind machines, fire...

:28:55
So it had all the charm of shooting the Enterprise
