- Although he wrote stories and directed he is best known for working as a model maker and animator. His best work was with Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson on the puppet shows Supercar (1961), Fireball XL5 (1962), Stingray (1964), Thunderbirds (1965), Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967), Joe 90 (1968) and The Secret Service (1969) (which combined puppetry with live-action).
- After work on Superman II (1980) he officially went into full retirement.
- In the late 1960s Gerry Anderson started to create new live-action TV shows in combination with model miniatures and props. These included UFO (1970), The Protectors (1972), and Space: 1999 (1975). He took on various roles as an art director, producer and executive producer.
Just as he did with the puppet series, Hill continued to be involved in series concepts, vehicle, character and set design for the live-action series.
