1:11:00
That's her stunt double.
1:11:03
There's a double,
then in a tank in north London for this.

1:11:07
Here's a combination - stunt double, actress,
1:11:14
CG water out the window, CG air bubbles.
1:11:18
The stanchion was in the pit in north London.
1:11:21
Thunderbird 4 as an exterior never existed,
1:11:24
all we had was that cockpit
that the two kids lie in.

1:11:28
These bubbles
were added in postproduction.

1:11:35
Vanessa was a real trouper,
1:11:37
as was her stunt double,
to do this stuff in the tank.

1:11:40
But you really get a sense
that you are underwater

1:11:43
and one of the things that helps to sell it
is the wavy motion of the solid images

1:11:49
that you feel when
you open your eyes underwater,

1:11:53
things seem to float.
1:12:00
So here's another moment of love story.
1:12:11
So the team has come together
just in time for Dad to witness this.

1:12:19
So at this point in Jubilee Gardens in London
1:12:22
we have Thunderbird 1,
Thunderbird 2, Thunderbird 3,

1:12:26
Thunderbird 4, all in play.
1:12:31
An appropriate finale.
1:12:35
This series of shots
with Thunderbird 4 lifting the monorail

1:12:39
were added to our list of opticals.
1:12:44
Tim Bevan, again, wisely realised
that we needed to see the two ships,

1:12:50
we needed to see Thunderbird 4
rising the monorail to the surface.

1:12:54
And Thunderbird 4 had to be entirely
computer generated.

1:12:59
Great moment here.
