Supermarionation

Supermarionation (a portmanteau of "super", "marionette" and "animation") is a style of television and film production created in the 1960s by British production company AP Films (APF; later re-named Century 21 Productions). The electronic marionette puppetry was dubbed "supermarionation" by its creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who used it extensively for TV series and a few feature films. Most of the marionettes displayed on screen had lip movements that were electronically synchronised with pre-recorded dialogue. According to Sylvia Anderson, Supermarionation was created to "distinguish the pure puppetry of the stage from our more sophisticated filmed-television version". The term "Supermarionation" was coined by Gerry, who regarded it as APF's "trademark". Commentator David Garland believes that the term conveys Gerry Anderson's preference for artistic realism and his desire to make APF's puppet techniques "more and more lifelike".
