Drama Quarterly: Thunderbirds are go
With an ensemble cast led by Bradley James (Medici) as Felix Sparks,
What you see is not an animation. There’s no reanimating our actors. We shoot them on green or blue screen with costumes and props. But what you end up with is an unaltered performance that just happens to look, on the surface, like it’s a stylised graphic novel.” The series was filmed with real actors, with the ensemble cast being led by Bradley James. Director Jonkajtys admits the production was a challenging experience for the actors, who were aided by the pre-vis but then left to perform on a very limited set. “Our goal was to always make sure they interacted with objects, that there is no tennis ball somewhere representing a wall,” he says. “If there is a wall or if there is a confined space that’s supposed to be there, we would always build it, whether it’s with real elements that end up on screen or with blue-screen walls.” One set that was built was that of a jail, complete with narrow corridors. “But what we found is that even if there is a battle scene or a scene that eventually will take place with a lot of extras, there weren’t many distractions, because it’s a fairly small shooting stage. So it was more comfortable for an actor pour out their emotions in such an intimate setting,” he continues. “Then, because of Trioscope, we are able to add elements into the background and expand that scene. But the intimacy is there, and that’s very beneficial.”
