:34:03
and by the time we showed up on set,
they were good to go

:34:07
and it worked. I wish we had more of it.
:34:11
Little shades of John Hughes - Home Alone.
:34:14
Bad guys flopping around in foam.
Always good for a laugh.

:34:22
Notice the Thunderbird
in the background of that shot.

:34:25
All kinds of little references.
:34:31
Here we are in Thunderbird 1 silo.
:34:37
John Beard, again, was not only
a creative designer, but very, very practical.

:34:44
In this set, we weren't...
:34:47
Great shot. Hood magically appears
behind the door.

:34:51
Watch closely and you see the reflection
on both sides of this coverage.

:34:57
You can see The Hood in Alan's shot
and Alan in The Hood's shot.

:35:03
Yeah, like a floating ghost, the head.
:35:07
Anyway, Beard...
:35:10
because of budgetary restrictions,
was only able to design the floor of this.

:35:15
I said, "But if we're gonna believe
that the missile's in there

:35:19
"something has to hang from the ceiling
:35:22
"so that the audience understands
that we're underneath this missile."

:35:27
So Beard said, "Don't worry about it."
He went and stole from Peter to save Paul

:35:34
and found a way to build bits of the set
:35:38
that suggested the bottom of Thunderbird 1.
:35:46
One of our rare Steadicam days.
:35:54
Sir Ben's fabulous as The Hood.
:35:57
Set extension again. Nothing above them.
