Thank you! Ah, I wish we could have proceeded with the Lost In Space series. The technology was wonderful and the basic set designs are still classics.
I actually still like the series and watch it every chance I get. The technology and the music score are still iconic, even today. And the concept of family always touches my heart.
@@alvincash3230 , yes. The piolet series was the best. It became more goofy when it changed to color. But, even though I'm fond of all of them- guy Williams & mark Goddard are the ones who kept the series going.
@@luthermcgee3767 --- I met Mark Goddard at a Comic Con. I asked him if it was true that Irwin Allen kicked him off the set for laughing at Dr. Smith dressed as a carrot. He said it was partly true, Irwin forbid him and June Lockhart to do two of the shows because of their laughter. He took all his shows seriously!
@@Tazzman225 I'm sure it was a rewarding experience to meet him personally. My favorite episode with Mark was in shadowman. With his eye half closed like that, how would he hide that away from Judy, and the others. And the way he needed a shave 😂 😂
@@luthermcgee3767 --- It was! Anne Lockhart was there too! She is June Lockhart's daughter and he told her what I said about him and June being kicked off the set and she thought that was so funny! Anne was in Battlestar Galactica.
The Jupiter 2 is one of the most best designed space ships ever, There's no other like her, Dr. Johnny 1964, You've done a good job on this! Keep up the good work, And may Lost in Space continue to live, In our hearsts.
3 cabins were built for the set according to the blueprints and that's all that could fit in the allotted space.. Even when I was a kid I knew something was wrong with that :)
Just noticed that the video did not show the Robot's magnetic lock dome come down, descend from the ceiling. Love this video and have seen it many times now. Incredibly detailed. Thanks again.
Thanks! It took a while to track down images of all of the original Air Force SAGE computers that they used on the show. I was able to clean them up in photoshop and use them as textures in the video. The colors are a fair match, and I took liberties with some of the other textures. :)
What a beautiful video! Now give the Jupiter 2 back to the Robinsons - Dr. Smith has already sold some of your equipment to aliens in exchange for Beef Bourguignon and a nice Cabernet )))
That thumping sound of the engines really drives home the fact that the Jupiter is just PULSATING with raw power, I LOVE it! Combined with the sound used from the external flight scenes, it's truly amazing. NO sound FX like these were heard before, nor will they be heard again, sadly :-(
I love also the closeups of the various seed. I would guess that is why John mentions at one point that the power and food supply "are geared to last 10 years"
Excellent! well put together. Great job. You like me must have watched lots of TV footage of the lower deck in the show and added some of your own creativity.
This is very much like so many other shows of the time where the interior sets do not match with the exteriors whatsoever. In addition to the chariot and shuttle pod, there was also a deck below this for the engine room. Which of course doesn't match up with the exterior dimensions whatsoever. To match all the interior sets the Jupiter 2 would have needed to be nearly three times the size shown 😉
How Cool would it be to have a full size structure, design like the Jupiter 2 inside and out that you could live in, complete with the background music available at the push of a button
I love your video! You went to great lengths to make an amazing 2:15 movie! It looks like the Jupiter 2 is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. ;)
One of my two favorite sci-fi ships, alongside Matt Jefferies' incomparable Enterprise (no bloody A, B, C or D). While the Enterprise is obviously the better ship in every respect, part of me really likes the Jupiter 2 because it feels much homier. It's like the ultimate RV, especially on the lower deck. On the upper deck, those three big windows felt much more immersive than the main viewscreen on the Enterprise bridge. And I wouldn't have to share it with 400+ other crewmembers.
Thanks for commenting "Phantom!" I also loved both shows. What I particularly like about the Jupiter is that it really had 3-Dimensional. detailed interior sets with literally hundreds of switches and lights and real world computers. (The 3 consoles in the cockpit were real Burroughs computers circa 1960.) Star Trek was a better show, but Lost in Space had better set designs.
From what I can see of the final credit sequence of that episode, I'm gonna guess it's a photo of M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy. Google Image it. It's one of the most beautiful nearby galaxies.
Brilliant work! I was going to model the inside of the Jupiter 2 myself unit I saw your video. There is really no point now. What we need now is a Lost in Space video game!!
Nicely detailed we'll done! However when it comes to sci fi spacecraft. The Doctor's Tardis is by far the number one spacecraft of all in my opinion. Small on the outside, but humongous on the inside bar none!
@mgrella63 Yes, that's true. The new Web Series is now changing to an entirely original production. It's unfortunate that Burns - unlike Paramount which freely encourages fan-based productions such as the Star Trek franchise - apparently does not wish to see Lost in Space resurrected.
For the Jupiter 2 to have all of the equipment inside it she would have to be twice her size. And I think we are due for a Old School Lost in Space movie revamp the way it should have been done in the 60! Good job by the way!!
+Haselius00; YES, I KNOW this was posted almost a decade ago. It still takes NOTHING away from the ...grandeur, of ALL of the Jupiter 2 videos you've made. I love LiS, and - had the series followed the 1st season's storylines, it could've been considered one of the most well-thought-out TV shows - a Battlestar Galactica (the reimagined one) of the 1960's, rather than being remembered for its silliness. When Billy Mummy helped create the comics from the 1980's (I STILL have them - in PRISTINE condition), I LOVED them - who else, but Mr Mumy - a wonderfully talented actor, could figure out just how to get the Robinson's story re-focused? I always let out a 'sigh' when I see the video, in which he talks about how he had written a script to wrap the story up, and presented (or, at least, tried to present) it to Mr Irwin Allen, who 'pooh-pooed' iy. Then he died. I really dislike 99% of the people who helm 'relaunches', or 'reboots', etc., because, VERY few EVER get it right - they ALWAYS need to get THEMSELVES stamped all over; 'look at ME', is all I ever take away. 'Look at you'? a-hole who had the chance, but frakked it. Now - Netflix has - yet again 're-whaevter' LiS, and N-O. Look; it's ONE thing to make something 'for today's audience', and if THAT is the case,then you DON'T need to stand inside the dessicated husk of a classic, because there's NOTHING which coneects these messes with the originals, and since they DON'T CARE one lick about the people who had BEEN there - ALL this time, then you certainly DON'T need to add INSULT. Sigh...I needed to say that. It's obvious you loved the series - and were like a lot of geeky kids, the incredible Jupiter 2 stuck with you, and now - taking out (today's equivelant of Legos) you've done this beuatiful ship PROUD. I watch these videos of the ship perhaps once, twice a year, and each time, I'm transported away - on a fantastic adventure. Your work, here, gives the adult me the same vicarious thrill the little me got watching as the Jupiter 2 began to glow, and the engines throbbed - louder, and LOUDER, rythmically building up incredible amount of energy, and when it finally takes off - Dr Smith - the scream he lets out. Amazing work.
Thank you for your kind remarks U.N. Owen!! Yes, I indeed loved that quirky, impossible spaceship. :) Stay tuned. I am building a new, even more detailed 3D model of the Jupiter and can now utilize computing power I only dreamed about in 2010. There are some more videos coming!
I have loved your stuff for years. I think Dr Smith would have sneaked out and turned off the reactor to stop that drum drum drumming all night long though.
@danzamphi Thank you! You should make a movie and post it here. I'd love to see what you did with the Polar Lights model. Or join HobbyTalk and put up some pics. There are tons of Jupiter 2 fans there!
It was just announced there will be no lost in space web series due to copyright infringements and kevin burns calling his lawyers in to stop production
So, one thing that always bothered me about the size of the ship is there is no way the "space pod" could have fit in there, and the scenes where it came out of the bottom of the J2 the J2 is tons larger appearing than it actually is. Any idea where the Space Pod was supposed to be?
Where was the Chariot and the Space Pod stored on that ship? I always presumed they were stored in the lower deck. So this video did not answer my question.
In the series, access to the space pod the Space Pod is shown to be from the command deck through a door between the elevator and the stasis tubes. The chariot is apparently stowed in a cargo hold off the lower deck behind the kitchen/dining room area.
The web series was not a "misguided revival." The production team was professional and the director has a number of films under his belt. Yes, it was a fan-based production, but the storyline was quite intriguing and kept very true to the original 1st-season direction of the show, but with modern effects and a keen acting ensemble. If you'd like to see the credit sequence, PM me.
So if there a 3 sleeping cabins, you have to figure that John and Maureen get one, Penny and Judy share one, and Will gets his own. So what about Don and Dr. Smith? Does Don have a small cabin on the main deck somewhere?
In some episodes, it seems Dr. Smith and Will share quarters. While not canon, as far as I know, various blueprints of the Jupiter 2 have Don's cabin off to the left as one faces the elevator from the Command deck.
That door between the galley & lab says "emergency" - that area never shown on tv - where does it go? Was it in the original blueprints? & where did the security guard come from in "the reluctant stowaway"? Smith would have seen him come down the ladder or elevator & the guard would have heard what the robot said & should have put the cuffs on Smith immediately, or at least not allowed Smith to go behind him!
I watched The Reluctant Stowaway when Smith reprogrammed the Robot, when the Security Officer shined his flashlight into Smith eye's he was standing right between the galley and lab. Yeah where did he come in from? Would have been seen, heard on the elevator or ladder. The door marked "Emergency" never saw it either.
Who is Kevin Burns and why did he kill the web series? Also, is there anyway to take the buttons and dials on the instruments look 'less' 1960s? Can't you replace them with pads and toggles?
