Thunderbirds

Flash frames are a whole area of special effects you can have a lot of fun with. You don't necessarily see these frames, but subconsciously the design adds a sense of richness to the shot. No matter how short, its important the elements complement the overall film design, which in this instance was created by directors Smith & Foulkes at Nexus Productions. Naturally they also created the colour palettes for the effects. There were so many explosive elements in the Thunderbirds title sequence that Graham Bebbington, my fellow effects animator began to call me sparky!
