Supermarionation is a filming technique developed by Gerry Anderson and other contributors. The name is a combination of the words Super Marionette and Animation. It combined the use of one third scale marionette puppets with an innovative Auto-Speak system which animated the character's mouths. Supermarionation shows typically used live action footage for some close-ups and smaller scale models for long shots, although the final Supermarionation program The Secret Service used live action for the long shots. The label was first applied to the show Supercar in 1961 (the second series of 13 programmes) and the technique was used in Anderson's shows throughout the 1960s.
