Presenting a color animation of Fireball XL5, Part 1 of  Episode 2 Entitled “Flight to Danger”. Created by Gerry & Sylvia Anderson,  the show was produced by AP Films and distributed by ITC Entertainment. The black  & white UK children’s series used marionettes for all its characters and appeared  on US television from 1963-1965 on NBC. I animated Part 1 with iClone 7. The  voices, sound effects and music are from the original TV broadcast.

I split the 25-minute episode into two parts. Part 2 will be  released in several months, and all credits will be listed in Part 2. For ages12 and younger or anyone who is young at heart. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you all who commented. It is very much appreciated. 

Sonicthehedgehog_24, I too loved the Gerry Anderson shows  with Fireball XL5, Stingray and Captain Scarlett being my favorites.  It took me about 9 weeks (average 5 hours aday) to complete part 1. :D

Peterblood, just giving my old fingers a chance to recuperate  then I will start Part II. :D

Postfrosch, that’s a shame it was never shown in Germany. You  can watch the original B&W series on Amazon, if you get the Shout Factory  channel add on. :D

Pinguintje, 10 star rating, wow! That’s going to be hard to  beat in the future.   :D

Txon, I’m glad you liked it. I’ve been admiring your art in  the Banner of the Month contest. :D

Kungphu, I felt iClone was well suited to resurrect a  B&W show that used marionettes. It’s almost as if you wanted, you can still  see the strings. Will try and smooth out the camera changes in Part 2. :D
