Oh for the days of documentary narrator's who would calmly present an informative script free from hyperbole and experts who seemed like this was just another day at the office.
Just got the MPC 1-48 Scale Eagle. A classic design if ever there was one. As regards the Kit bashing side, a major source of parts was the Airfix Saturn V kit as there are a number of Lunar Module bodies dotted around under the framework.
"A new television series - due to start early next year". But... the Eagle next to Brian is the Eagle 2 which first appeared in episode 17 of season 1. Nevertheless treasured footage, thanks for the upload.
Totally I enjoyed both the Eagle and t2 Jupiter 2 ship's to me they the Best designs.and today I have two Eagles and one Jupiter 2 "hopefully get another Eagle and another Jupiter 2 model kits?" I hope.
Great stuff. I must dig out my Space:1999 DVD box set as I don't recall seeing this on it. Mind you, I may not have watched all the special features yet!
WCHOMES Gerry Anderson was always underrated. I read an obituary feature that incuded his final interview. Very sad reading how disappointed and disillusioned he became. When Star Wars came out he was writing a column for "Look in" comic. I remember his response to the film. At the time I was really disappointed in him for what appeared to be a sour grapes attitude towards it. With hindsight it's obvious that was his frustration at not being taken seriously as a TV maker coming out.
I think the premise of the show is nosense, since the story is that the moon ended up in another part of the galaxy due to a nuclear explosion, but that the design of the ships is very nice, this cannot be denied

+bob rew . You're wrong. Motion control is a computer controlled camerd that allow to do again and again the same camera moves. You can do multiple shots like external lights (star light) inner lights (portholes lights, positioning lights, and background. All the moves will be synchronized and the viewer will see nothing. Here they just shoot a model with a traveling camera. It does not allow multiple shots. Just my 2 cents. ;-)
Not quite. Physical models and miniatures were far longer in use. In fact even some bigger productions today rely on elaborate scale models. They also saw a quasi-revival in independent and low budget productions of the past few years.
@@houstonhelicoptertours1006name the films? Very few films use miniatures. It is too costly and time-consuming. Most (not all) build them digitally. Everything is cheap and fast.

The man's a technical wizard!
Such a gifted artist.
"Moon bus" - that's 2001 terminology.
Old school effects are best , I love the Eagles ! 😎
The effects still hold up even to today.
I liked this show as a 70s kid.
The Eagle nose to me looks like the LEM from the Apollo moon missions.
One of the first shows I saw when we got cable-TV, ah, nostalgia.
More please!
My fav show as a kid

I remember this original 1974 show "How do they do that?" narrated by Richard Baker.
i would love to see the entire thing.
I like the design of that Eagle 🦅 space craft.
It is unique and exquisite
Actually whole TV SERIES WERE amazing and beautiful
🎬🎥🎬🥇🥇🥇🎼🥇🎬🎥🎬
Great video
Wow just found this, excellent bit of history
The distinctive sound of a hasselblad focal plane

This is on Carlton DVDs
Oh well, I have the Network DVDs and Blu-rays so unless they are on there too...
Cool!
i think we could actually build a real working one today with the tech that we have .
Many times I think about it. Like the Terminator endoskeleton.
0:52 "MOON BUS" !!!!
FAB!
pretty cool
i never understood why it was so underrated ....

remember kids this is years before Star Wars was in production.
This is where all started for me
No, kids, not really. Space 1999 aired 1975 to 1977; Star Wars 1977. I get your point though, quite an achievement and great techniques on display.
Brian Johnston was Special Effects Supervisor on Alien and The Empire Strikes Back. He knew his stuff.

Brilliant insight......that fuller sized eagle looked sprung loaded
fatwalletboy2 It is.
He said the design was based on an insect, but to me it more resembles a gecko, especially the cockpit resembling the shape of a gecko's head.
Based on a praying mantis. But flatter.

Motion Control!! Not invented by John Dykstra.

Here they just shoot a model with a traveling camera. It does not allow multiple shots.
Just my 2 cents. ;-)
the techniques used in 1999 came from 2001 A Space Odyssey it was Brian Johnson who worked on both projects and even Alien .
Old school skills. CGI killed the craft. Total Recall was the last film using physical model FX.
Not quite. Physical models and miniatures were far longer in use. In fact even some bigger productions today rely on elaborate scale models. They also saw a quasi-revival in independent and low budget productions of the past few years.
