TV21

A few years ago, Stephen La Riviere wrote an excellent book detailing the making of the Supermarionation-era TV shows. The level of detail as well as the newly discovered photos made it a must read for any Anderson fan. It has now been announced that Network Distributing will be releasing a documentary based on the contents of this book.

It will be released August-September of 2014 and promises to include a great many newly discovered gems. In addition, a lot of new material has been filmed which shows how the special effects and puppets were filmed. There are several teaser videos available, and personally, I can't wait to see this. 

Stephen La Riviere's fantastic "Filmed in Supermarionation" book is now available in lightweight form. In addition to being able to buy the paperback or hardback, it is now available electronically as a Kindle book. All the text is there, as well as a reasonable number of images from the books, but in order to keep the size to something reasonable, the Kindle version is not as lavishly illustrated. If you want it just for the images, get the book. If, however, you want to read the book and have it in a fairly light form, this is the way to go. The price is very reasonable, at $8.00 from the Amazon Kindle store.

You can check out the book in Kindle form here:

Filmed in Supermarionation - Kindle

If you are still not sure, Amazon will send you a sample chapter to the reading device of your choice. Try it risk free, as they say. Then buy it, its that good.

If you own a copy of the wonderful "Filmed in Supermarionation" book, you know its a well written book with lots of images. It is also quite heavy.

If you want a Kindle version, one is on its way. It will not have the hundreds of images in the book, but all the text and some images will be in there. After all, it is a kindle version, so you focus on the text.

The book is well worth getting if you are a fan of the Supermarionation era shows. Its also limited edition, so pick it up soon if its on your wish list. 

I'll update when the kindle version gets released, but if you want the actual printed edition of the book, you can get it here: http://filmedinsupermarionation.com/
