==Successor techniques==
In 1983, Gerry Anderson returned to puppetry with his independent science-fiction TV series ''[[Terrahawks]]''. The characters of this series were made as {{convert|3|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall|spell=in}} rubber hand puppets, operated from the studio floor in a process called "Supermacromation".<ref name="Garland70"/><ref>Bentley, p.&nbsp;227.</ref> This was similar to the techniques employed by American puppeteer [[Jim Henson]].<ref name="Percy"/>

In 2004, Anderson created a ''Captain Scarlet'' remake titled ''[[New Captain Scarlet]]'', which was produced using computer-generated imagery (CGI) and [[motion-capture]] techniques. Motion capture was used heavily for action sequences as it provided more convincing character movement. As a nod to Supermarionation, the series was credited as being "created in Hypermarionation".<ref name="Garland71-72">Garland, pp.&nbsp;71–72.</ref><ref>Bentley, p.&nbsp;285.</ref> According to Anderson, Hypermarionation was not simply animation, but a "photo-real" production method combining CGI, high-definition picture and surround sound. Garland suggests that through Hypermarionation, Anderson sought to achieve a "hyperreal simulation of his live-action film utopia".<ref name="Garland71-72"/>

In 2014, a [[Kickstarter]] campaign was launched to fund a remake of the anime series ''[[Firestorm (anime)|Firestorm]]'', to be produced using a technique called "Ultramarionation".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/firestorm-aims-to-be-21st-century-thunderbirds-with-next-gen-puppets/|title=''Firestorm'' Aims to Be 21st-Century ''Thunderbirds'' with Next-Gen Puppets|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|location=San Francisco, California|work=[[CNET]]|access-date=23 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305074856/https://www.cnet.com/news/firestorm-aims-to-be-21st-century-thunderbirds-with-next-gen-puppets/|archive-date=5 March 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
