Breakaway SFX

Nick Allder dusts the table-top set of waste disposal area 2. Beyond we can see the barrel moon by the wall.

Sylvia Anderson visits the SFX studio.

Brian Johnson draws "moonbuggy tracks" on the lunar surface.

The camera tracks along with winch, which attaches to the waste cans. The winch is an electric motor, attached to a frame that is in turn attached to the camera.

A static view of the winch lifting cans required a different wooden frame, a bar over the set.

Close ups of the waste caps from the above set.

The winch Eagle is filmed over the set.

The full waste disposal area was a separate set.
