- This CGI video is a re-imagining of the LOST IN SPACE episode - “The Reluctant Stowaway” first aired in 1965. It’s not a full episode but just the beginning to give you a feeling of what direction the series may have taken. After watching this I can imagine a few possibilities…
I have given this “new” episode a new title - SABOTAGE.
In this short presentation, you will see obvious similarities and some big differences. Also, I used this as an opportunity to study some different effects and to work on the character models a bit.
I hope you enjoy some of the expanded set pieces.
1st season was gold. The Robot was scary, impersonal, the Doctor was evil, albeit clumsy, but not yet a buffoon he would later become.
Yea if you watch the series it went down hill after the 6th episode the one with hapgood!!
I only recently got to see the pilot and older episodes, and I'd have to agree that they were much better written. No wonder Guy Williams and other main characters got got annoyed at the later scripts.
I disagree, think Dr. Smith was actually a more fun character later when his buffoonery caused the crew all sorts of challenges. I wouldn't change a thing! The silliness added to the show's charm, at least for me. But I like the CGI work here.
OMG this is so amazing I cannot begin to explain how great this is. I love watching these episodes and appreciate all you do to keep LIS alive. Please keep them coming!
Very Cool. Lost In Space Was A Great Space Adventure With The Robinson Family, Dr. Smith, Don And The Classic Space Robot. Best Flying Saucer Ever The Jupiter 2.
I have been remiss in commenting on this video. Great work Phil!! I know the work that went into this.The textures, the mapping, the rigging, the lighting, the timing. It's so much work and most people don't even remotely understand the effort needed to create a video like this. Bravo!
Thank you Ron. You are correct - hours and hours have gone into this and sometimes you get a response "oh Cool" but no one but those who work in 3D modeling and animation (key frame by key frame) understand the time investment. Thanks again for your help with your modeling skills. P
Phil, you have done a wonderful job, especially for someone just learning Poser.
You have spent MUCH time building your 3D sets and you've added so much more to the show as well as fixed mistakes like the Robot not appearing in that initial lower deck pan.
I've watch your animations and your skills growing.
Your work shows the potential of a professional production for LIS of this 3D nature.
Using synthesised speech and body models done effectively (Furious 7) we could do a proper Reboot of LIS from the beginning, as a serious show using the original characters liikenesses.
I look forward to your next episode, bro.
We never found out what "Aeolus Umbra 14" meant it's implied Smith is working for an enemy Communist country and those words were never heard again after the pilot episode. In the comic book that Bill Mumy did in the 80s those words were Alien language and Smith was somehow working for an Alien race but I don't remember any more than that it was clever.
Unbelievable! Made my year!!!!!! What wonderful work!!!!!!!!!!!! 😃
Very Entertaining, keeping the Sprit of Lost In Space Alive.
Keep these coming. Very enjoyable to watch. and I can appreciate the work involved. Thanks!
execellent work! i see you modeled the Jupiter 2 with an upper and a LOWER deck! good job!
with the deeper profile of the lower segment of the haul, the lower deck does fit. The Robot began to sabotage the J-2 before it took off, while the family was about to board. Could see the explosion from the lower deck view port.
Excellent work! 😆🖖
Bold in concept, brilliant in execution. Nice job!
I think if the second and third season did not get so campy, Lost in Space would have been better. I do enjoy the show.
The campiness and general buffoonery of the 2nd and 3rd seasons really ruined it for me. Like many fans, I was crazy about much of 1st season. The b/w photography somehow add to the almost noir feel of a lot of the 1st season.
I really loved the first season, too. It felt like they were trying to do a real science fiction show. But Lost in Space was competing with the TV version of "Batman" at the time. I think Irwin Allen decided that he wanted to take the show in a really campy direction to compete with that. He may have been a great producer but he didn't much care for story writing and he was willing to throw good science fiction under the bus if silly campiness got the show higher ratings.
It might of rivaled Star Trek if it didn't turn into Mr. Rogers meets Sesame Street!!
Catzilla from what I've always heard it was not Su much a matter of what Irwin Allen wanted, as it was what the suits at CBS wanted. The addition of the Robot and Dr Smith was ordered by CBS. In an interview Jonathan Harris indicated that after the first several episode had aired and the ratings came in, Irwin Allen had told Harris to play Dr Smith more "over the top" or they were all in danger of being unemployed. Harris responded that of course if they wanted more over the top, more over the top was what they got. In turn Irwin Allen was only providing the customer, CBS, with what they wanted.
Yea it would of ended up on par or better than trek!!!
That was fun-nice work capturing the character's appearance ,particularly Dr Smith-eek-is he dead-can't be.
Just fantastic...love the B9....HE WALKS....GREAT JOB... Keep this style going thru all of L.I.S.
@hamiltonpl my previous acct and comments on this post from last year have been all deleted. So, I am back to say.
THANK YOU for this amazing creation of art and re imagining. You absolutely captured the fine detailing and audio sound editing. It felt ike being a kid all over again with the same wide eyed innocence I had when the show first aired just sitting on the rug in front of the set with my mouth dropped open in amazement
I love all the hard work, labor of love that you put into this and wish for more. Every detail from the blinking lights of computers processing to the smoke emanating from the lit cigarette to seeing, actually seeing and making out the interior of the ship through the view port on the outside. Loved seeing the Alpha Control and ship on launch in color
Your sims o animation, whatever the process is called did a great job on this. Dr. Smith in this appearance really looked like a classic Nazi spy saboteur ,really evil. I liked him like that. I was absolutely thrilled with the alternate ending and the Robot's premature attack.
I am hopping that you are working on a part two in some way Would love to see your take on their crash landing episode ""Island in the Sky"" Thanks for the brief trip into my past and youth.
I return to view this often. It is like artwork for me visually.
This is soooo cool that i wish it was or might be? included on the LIS Blu Ray disk set in whatever bonus material they offer as this is very worthy.
Like a lot of the other commenters, I too thought the first season was the best. My favorite character being the robot; I like how he could actually walk, and the echo effect when he said 'destroy'.
Even though they stopped showing the Robot walking in full length shots (because of real world limitations on what a human performer inside the complete prop costume could do) --- The episodes continued to indirectly imply all kinds of Robot walking, running, staircase descending and ladder climbing. You kind of had to use your imagination for the details of it.
The only boo boo is the robot going nuts at ground, outside of that, you nailed it!!!!
Smith didn't bank on its intruder handling program kicking in.
Love the Robot sounds & the 1st season Robot...He walked.
Hands off to the artists!
Very good tribute to the show! And great for us fangirls and fanboys to imagine how the show would be in this day and age.
There are limitations with the tools used, but for me it is exciting so that my imagination can run wild!
"In Color." Smith gets his! LOVE THIS
Good job! Thanks for keeping the Robot Grey and silver as that’s what he looked like in the first season. The whole thing was a vision of the future from the Gemini space program era. THAT was part of what was so cool about LIS! Somebody should expand on that more...everything’s grey and silver, space is dangerous. They NEED a robot for atmospheric testing, etc. Just think about it, earlier versions of the robot would exist,
and it would be interesting to see variations of equipment.
Where is part two? This is really good......
This is great work you should do a full new season 4 series of Lost in Space.Maybe with them finally reaching the inhabitable planet around Alpha Centauri and strange things happening there and also finally contacting Alpha Control.
By the way I was age 7 when Lost in Space was first on the network.
I watched it with my family on a 1948 Zenith black and white console television with a round CRT tube.
We also had a 1965 color Magnavox Television in the basement and watched some programs on that one too but I was more fond of the older television especially with earlier programs like the Outer Limits and Twilight Zone.I do barely remember watching the ultra violent Untouchables on that old Black and White TV but I was very young then.
I like the original, but I love this version, thanks!
Good to see you back. More PLEASE!!
Alan Andrews - OK what do you suggest should be next?
hamiltonpl P lease make the next episode. How long are they delayed because of the explosion? Does the Robot survive? (please let him survive. You could call the second episode something like Blast off into Space.
I love the Mac wallpapers on the screens at Alpha Control
I remember watching this in September of 65 - I was in the 6th grade
Absolutely brilliant work
Very well done. Bravo.
This was great to watch! You're a master of your craft. Thank you.
Yep this happened in 1997 it was on all the TV news shows that night.
Absolutely incredible work and the attention to detail is phenomenal!
Kudos to you for your efforts!!
I guess they don't have to worry about being lost in space considering the robot trashed the ship...and Dr. Smith... before liftoff!😀
Would love to see the spaceship on the crash landing approach to the planet. Maybe a thought for a production from you?
Keep up the awesome work!!
Excellent job.....hope to see more.
Wow, this was dark and twisted . C'mon Major West .. you had like 20 seconds to run after you saw the berserk robot on his way up to save your life
Interesting take on the pre-launch story. Nice recreations of the scenes most of of us know by heart. The updated space flight suits - maybe a bit to revealing? I don't remember Penny being that busty nor Will being that well hung. I think June would approve of the updated hairstyle though. Nice touches with the "easter eggs" the Star Trek style clipboard, the iPads, the lit cigarette in the ashtray - fun stuff! Not sure if you intended the flight official who asked the Robinsons if they were ready to be a Foster Brooks clone, but if so, WELL DONE!
John Williams score to this episode called, The Reluctant Stowaway, is truly mesmerising.
They're all more muscular. Could have been the result of living on a planet with stronger gravity but they haven't left yet! Very well done!
In color!
Very Cool. Great job! I look forward to more episodes.
The Jupiter 2 was just a beautiful design. That hull curve is classic, like the Enterprise and the Klingon D-7.
So well done Phil
"Moisture! I need moisture!"
great job
Thank you so much!!!!
This is really good. You have great talent sir!
Technical issues aside, this was way cool. Love the cityscape behind the J2 and the redesigned suits.
VERY interesting! Colorizing is great but shouldn;t B9 have more color? Like red claws? Would love to see MORE!
+Joe Palermo - in the first season - the Robot - had very little color and the claws were silver/aluminum.
I understand what you're saying. In the first season, of course, there was no color for anything. Once they shot in color, the robot had red claws. No big deal. I just thought since you were adding color, the red would have been cool. But no biggie. Would LOVE to see more. You've got a VERY interesting premise going. :-)
You realize he did not just colorize the old B&W footage. This is complete new CGI rendering.
Cool! thanks for the heads up!:)
In the immortal words of Dr. Zachary Smith.... WHAAAAAAOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHH...WAAAAAAOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastico
My goodness, this is quite overwhelming! I'm a propulsion engineer, so I use computers for 'number crunching' pretty much exclusively. How in the world do you do this? Is there a particular set of software that you use to do this?
How ever you do this, my hat is definitely off to you! Thank you!
Poser Pro 2012, Blender, Photoshop, Vegas Pro,. Lots of tedious hours building 3D models and animating. But also a lot of fun. Thank you for your comments.
Outstanding!
Amazing!!! Criative!!! Brazilian fan
Wow !!! Looks awesome :) Excellent job !!
Super! Super! Super! Congrats!!!!
Bravo!
Doesn't Guy Williams bear a striking resemblance to Hawaii Five O's Jack Lord? They could be brothers.
Excellent job, hamiltonpl
Amazing !
You have to watch episode 1 again, the robot attack was advanced
You do very good work. You must have a very tolerant wife!
Wow that was cool, thanks.
Did the crew have crotch zippers to facilitate emergency pee breaks? Haha.
It was that or Space camel toe.
Sad that J2 is bigger than the shuttle but smaller than the saucer section of Uss Enterprise
Excellent work. Good show!
cool really impressive :)
Nice modeling of Alpha Control a few more B205's rather than one bulky B220. Plus interaction with the technicians.
This was great. I like the alternate ending.
I can see they will not be Lost in Space
I love love lovell it!!!! When do we the second episode? Did you make Will & Penny a little older? Thank you for sharing!!!!!
Beeltescott Yes because the digital models I used were adult but I modified them where I could - figure-wise - after working on their faces / likenesses. Thanks for your comments!
Is there a part two to this? It's really excellent
never got around to it......
It's a great piece of work you made. I hope to see part two. Thanks!
WOW EXCELENT !!
We never did get those cool looking laser rifles.
Wow!! Messed up the J 2 before it took off!!.
Wow!!!! Awesome job!!!!
"Intergalactic vehicle"? That implies a longer trip than Alpha Centari!
Well, that was different. Very good work.
Robert Dambeck Thanks for you comments. You've seen this video ? -----> th-cam.com/video/1aHqwLDpz5s/w-d-xo.html
hamiltonpl Just now yes. Pretty cool with the changing outfits to match the seasons
What a naughty naughty Robot
This is great work! How long does it take you to create one of these?
Mr Hamiltonpl, could I translate this episode to the Brazilian Portuguese ?
Sure - how would that be done?
I'd take anything you could do. I especially love your work with the Robot and the Jupiter2. More of them?
This is totally cool!
At the show's start, Smith could reprogram the robot and karate chop a soldier; about all the things expected of Major West. By 4th show, he couldn't do anything physical at all, in fact wrecked most weapons and systems. About what was expected of The Bloop.
Big time thanks for that!
Well Dr. Smith got what was coming to him. Really good work Phil, J2 was detailed, matching up audio, updating spacesuits. Were those ipads in Alpha Control?
Steven Fenton Generic tablets. One was a Star Trek tablet on the floor next to West at the end. I download freebie 3D models and use them. I wanted it to look a little updated.
really well done!
So this was a fan made animation? Amazing! How did you do it? How long did it take? I do a lot of graphic design/photoshopping but I can't see how you did such a nice recreation. Cheers!
Yes a fan film for sure. Mainly I used Poser Pro 2012 to create and animate the characters. Thanks for taking a look.
Nice! Thanks for posting :-)
The eyebrows and smile of Dr. Smith resemble the late Robert Stack!
very cool, looks like you like lis as much as I do........peace....
I like the CGI approach, but 1,it's in color in contrast with the black and white episode, and 2, the CGI method doesn't do family Robinson's any Justice, 3, this presentation was changed from the original one making it inappropriate. Still have it a thumbs up for effort.
I always wonder how can one family start a colony in the late 20th century. If their mission was planetary analysis, I can almost see what that would be. Are they going to land on the planet and say: “ Yeah, you are a planet.”
I think I saw a TOS era Star Trek Padd near the end.
what a game changer for the Jupiter 2~ Animation is okay- they made every body's boodie look good - what would the next episode be , and could they finally make it to Alpha-Centurai ? also , when did we have an Amish president?
So they did not get Lost in Space cuz they haven't even left the ground yet!
A What If scenario.
Dr. Smith a full bird Col. LOL 😆
as I remember it was October 17th 1997, not the 16th of October that upset the balance of time if i'm right....jt
1:28 - That's an interesting aspect-ratio (3:2) you chose for the monitors in 1997 :)
Great! I think Dr. Smith should at least be arrested. Better yet, Have Don disembowel him and use his guts to grease the tracks of the chariot and robot. LOL :)
good job-mind you they would have to change the title to 'Lost on the launch pad.'
Dr. Smith was the stowaway not the robot.
