Is anyone else absolutely in love with the engine sound effects?
YES
Yes! And the music by the legendary John Williams!
YES!!! I worked as a sound editor at Fox during the '80s. During my slow times I tried to find all the Lost in Space sound effects. I was never able to find the airlock door motor sound, and I wasn't able to find the clickety clack robot idle for his bubble top.
But I did find the engine sound. It was labeled in the science fiction section as "Hickey's Spaceship.". No other information and certainly no data about what was used to create that sound. Even as a professional sound editor I've never been able to truly track down how they created that multitrack harmonic pitch progression for the engines, especially with the recording technology of the time. (I believe you can hear a little bit of that sound effect on the Outer Limits episode THE BOARDERLAND towards the end of that episode, when the power generators come online again.)
But the thing to remember is that multitrack recording was in its very early infancy back then. Studios had three track magnetic film recorders for final dubbing, and the recording studios had half inch three-track tape. That was about it. And to create that layered sound required pitch adjustment and other techniques that I honestly don't know how they did back in that analog era was such primitive equipment. Nonetheless I think it's the most brilliant sound effect I've ever heard.
I am
Yes! When the ships Atomic Engines Powered Up for liftoff That SOUND Truly Was Awesome 🚀🪐🖖
The most memorable lift-off of any Sci-fi spacecraft ever. Love the sound and the visuals.
The engine sounds are my absolute all time favorite sound effect! And I wish they had done that glow effect more often. It is sooo Cool!!
As a kid, about 10 years old, this was just the most amazing and exciting thing on television, not just because of the fantastic sets and ( initially) the stories, for me, it was imagining myself as being one of the kids, in a SAUCER!!!, going into those sliding glass tunes, flying through space, the dangers and adventures of surviving on an alien world, tooling around in that wonderful family rv, so many drawings trying to create adventures of my own, this was the best, most exciting show for young impressionable minds
Those early episodes were exciting for me as a kid too.
i loved lost in space as a kid and now i'm 61 and have the DVD;s and i still love it.
Spot on analysis of the lis appeal for single digit kids, the wonder and adventure aspects.
Of course once I was more than 10yo, the cheesy plots and dialog and bad science and physics wore thin. Luckily there was Trek and star Wars to move on to.
But Lots of nostalgia for lis, and still appreciate the general production values and hardware and set designs
Agreed. The first five episodes in particular are very good science fiction. I think the space ship crash in the third episode is actually better than the saucer crash in "Star Trek Generations". Too bad the show degenerated into Dr. Smith running around shouting "Help me! I'm turning into a carrot" just before he.....turned into a carrot. Or was it celery?
Sounds great Jeff. I discovered it and original Star Trek in the eighties
Even after 57 YEARS (yea-I'm OLD) that lift off still sends chills down my spine...loved the show as a kid, still love it as an old dude! BEST Space Ship sound effects EVER!!!!!!!!!
You're not old! I was 6 years old when it premiered on tv. It was a great show with the exception of some really bad scripts, but I watched every episode anyway. I am a die hard fan and still watch it to this day. I did see watch the original LIS movie and enjoyed it, but anything after that, I refused to watch. For Christmas in 1968, I was surprised see that I got a styrofoam spaceship of the Jupiter 2 plus...an operational replica of the chariot. It was so cool! It was battery operated and rode along a plastic tubing it would travel on up to 25 feet. It came with plastic fittings that would allow it to do u-turns or whatever. My older brother and I were in one room, and my other two brothers were in a room across the hall. We would put notes inside the chariot and our brothers would send notes back to us. I wish my father didn't get rid of it when we moved. That would definitely be a collector's item today.
@@davidpanetta6400 You must be referring to the Mattel Switch N'Go set. I wanted one but never got it. It wasn't a good replica of the J2 but when you're a kid, you don't care. Hell, I played with an oversized white coat button as my Jupiter 2 and later with an upside down white bowl. Whatever my imagination would let me get away with!
Older than you my friend, and I too still get the chills!!
The music and the sound effects were literally a starring character in the show.
A very young and talented John Williams.
The first season was great, but after that it just became the Dr.Smith show.
That's why it only lasted 3 seasons.
@@sonnydelight5737 That was pretty much true for all the Irwin Allen sci-fi series during that era: Land of the Giants, The Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
That's because Jonathan Harris changed it. If you notice it was a much more serious show when it began, which centered around Guy Williams, the primary star at the time.
Jonathan Harris wasn't satisfied with his limited "villain" role (he was scheduled to be kill off), so he rewrote the character. After that, most of the series centered around the adventures of Dr. Smith, Will Robinson and the robot. Most of the one-liners, and insults names for the robot Harris invented.
Absolutely. Pure camp. Dr Smith way over the top.
I always wonder what it could have been without the change of focus to Jonathan Harris.
I always love the background music and the starting of the Jupiter 2 atomic engines during liftoff!
I like how you colorized this scene. I remember it in black and white.
Man what a great liftoff sequence. The colors really stand out. June Lockhart is what incredibly beautiful woman and she looks absolutely amazing here in color.
Awesome in Color ..
Please color the whole first season
It's poignant and
Sweet to see the
Robinson family
In Color .
Black and white added charm to the show😮
Coolest sound around!
I would argue that the shows real significance was more with its cultural influence than just entertainment value, it would've been the first time many of us kids heard about certain technologies and theories about technologies, which we immediately looked up in our Encyclopedia set.
Our teacher would ask us to write on the board whatever Dr. Smith called the Robot that week.
I would never have known what "cantankerous" or "automaton" meant. Later in my broadcast career, I would use alliterations, which became popular. I thanked Mr. Harris in person at a show in LA. What a true gent he was!
Nincompoop was my favourite.
Tin Plated Traitor was a close second....
Even today I’d still rate it the best launch scene I’ve ever seen…
The b&w version offers more dramatic atmosphere, bringing out that beautiful diffused lighting effect. It evokes Fritz Lang's Metropolis a little bit. I really love the look of those early shows; of what I like to call historical tv - breakthroughs in terms of the era. LOS, for ex., was just a couple of years after NASA's first manned orbit. Both early in the years of American tv and the space program.
I'm with you. The b&w cinematography in many of those season one episodes is outstanding. Seeing it on BluRay has been a revelation.
Coolest engine sound in scifi ever...B9, COOLEST BOT EVER. !
When I was a kid, B9 was the ONLY robot.
Awesome! I remember it like it was yesterday.....watching that liftoff and being memorized. You've made it so much more dramatic with the music etc. Excellent job!
I am so glad that this did not have Dr. Smith's screaming for the first episode pilot during lift off. This was wonderfully edited.
Harris created that Dr. Smith later on in the series.
No doubt. Kinda like Mike Love of the Beach Boys...a member of the band but annoying non the less.
I not only love the the sound of the space craft but the music as well, it has the perfect crescendo of anticipation and danger.
Composed by John Williams for the fifth episode, “The Hungry Sea”.
I thought the original was shot in B&W. This looks amazing!
Same👍
the first 29 episodes were shot in black and white
@@NightlifeSux but this one in colour
Nothing else to this day compares to that lift off! , the sound and visuals of a man made saucer using antigravity propulsion , glowing as it powers up! No one dared to use the idea of flying saucer tech and design in any modern tv show or movie .
They Always relied on some form of rocket propulsion... this show was Bold and daring in its premise
It was like America's own TARDIS: bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. Where was the lower deck supposed to be? Who knows? And, there was even a deck for the engines below that, although I only recall seeing it once. God knows where it carried its fuel, and the "chariot," and all the other stuff they ended up dragging outside.
Love how you did the color in it.
This is very first time I have seen the 1st series / Pilot episode in Colour and its totally FAB. The engine sound effect is also one of those sounds you never forget...I have it on an Irwin Allen 6 x CD box set.
Have you got the whole episode in colour ??
Thank you for uploading this :)
My favorite show back in the day
I've seen some bad colorizing and this looks really great!
Being shipwrecked on an alien planet for most of the season, engines dead and then start of the new season as they finally prepare to lift off, hearing those powerful atomic engines slowly start to riv up and finally come to life again. As a kid this was truly awesome. My favorite sound effect.
I've always thought that model was screwy there cannot possibly be enough room for there to be a lower deck on it.
thats Hollywood!
Initially there wasn't, what is seen in the great liftoff sequence is the single level Gemini 12
TARDIS Technology.
Great video David! Excellent work! I really enjoyed this. I was a 60s kid and this really brings back wonderful memories.
Thanks to everyone who replied and especially the sound tech guys for explanation and experience you shared!
This is the first Redition of j2 with bigger main windows and more bottom taper on hull
Lost in Space, Star Trek and the Herculoids were my favorite shows.
When people call a spaceship a Flying Saucer, nothing looked more like one than the Jupiter 2.
I liked the 2 level Jupiter 2, it looked more user friendly. Star drive engine sounds great.
This looks amazing. The combination of a high-definition print with the added professional colorization reveals how much work went into the design of the ship's interior. The sound effects were incredible. This program had some of the best incidental music EVER.
The Jupiter 2 sets cost more than the Enterprise sets.
Wonder whatever became of “Johnny” Williams?
@@michaelhall2709 Eh... I heard he wrote some soundtracks for some obscure movies in the 70s. And 80s. And 90s. And 2000s.
I like this take-off version better, but I think that's the Gemini 12. Personally, I like the Jupiter 2 best.
It's the same model. Only the name was changed.
They improved on the take off and landing in the last year, making it sound out of this world cool.
Oh how I really wanted to live in that spceship
This beautiful cut what's the Gemini before it became Jupiter 2 it's so tight and perfect. I remember thinking June Lockhart had a beautiful figure and perfect makeup. In the pilot I believe John gave her a very long kiss as she stepped in the tube which I'm sure back in 1960 when was pretty racy. But it did establish that they were in love married and ready to go into space. I love when professor Robinson teases Will with a little fake punch.. a very Dad thing to do. Also when you think about the fact that the designer of the show decided to go with a flying saucer when we were just doing rockets at the time was ahead of its time... In the first episode with dr. Smith I remember Loving to see the second-level via the elevator... I love how you just by hitting buttons something on this ship would move pop out or activate. I felt as a kid this was a real spaceship because it looked real. John Williams scores are absolutely brilliant they build emotion and excitement but the sound effects of the engine is really amazing. I love the sound of Jupiter 2 makes when it's flying in space. The beautiful colorization gives it a beautiful nostalgic touch especially the gold and silver cryogenic units behind the freezing tubes. Also it's very interesting that the two chairs are not seen and that the panels for the controls flip inside out like a laptop. Because it's Gemini only was one deck I wonder where the Robinsons actually would have slept or ate on this one deck only ship. Second-level galley so well-designed and so were the staterooms although the beds look mattresses look mighty thin. I always wondered who slept with who And where does the bathroom actually exist on the Jupiter 2? The outside shot of the Gemini from the top looking down into the viewport is actually a beautiful shot not seen in the first episode. The ship in the meteor storm after this is my favorite scene.
Colorized!
Everyone's in love with the J2's atomic engine sound, but, during the launch, it rises into a scream that we never hear again on the show, sadly.
The original pilot never had the J2 atomic engine sound. Just a high pitched screaming noise.
we never saw the Glow again either and that was so damn cool!
I used to live for this show when I was a kid in the 70s. No way to record it back then.
I Love that saucer spaceship it can really get it flying through space and I Love to see it take off and I Love the sound of the engines .😍😘😊😊.
That's just amazing in full color! That series had SUCH potential! It's such a shame Irwin Allen didn't like science and allowed it to become the "Dr. Smith Show". Under better production, this could have rivaled Star Trek!
Agreed! The show got silly
@@smartluck100 It was better than Star Trek.
I agree totally
I don't know who colorized this but they did a great job. It's beautiful!
I am 68 years old I have been in love with the sound of that engine ever since I heard it
Me too
I was so excited when I saw this on TV as a kid. Of course it was in black and white, but who cares...so good!
90 years is a long time to be on your feet!
Just love this. Background music
Penny Penny Oh my god Penny😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I u ften dreamed I was part of the family on the Jupiter 2
June Lockhart was,so hot in the silver suits...
Those earliest scenes were some glorious scifi, without a hint that the show would devolve into a silly farce.
OK admit it. How many had a crush on Penny?
LONG LIVE THE JUPITER 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't no the made the pilot in colour
When I first saw this yesterday, by chance, I took the liberty of putting the hyper-link on the two 'LiS' FB groups I belong to, and I notice that the vid has gotten 90 additional views in the last 24 hours - deservedly so - for my part, I was also impressed by the sound-scape layers of Jupiter 2 engine-sounds created here, which unlike the original episode are not interrupted by John Williams' otherwise awesome music, or anything else, and the inclusion of a brief rocket-exhaust sound in the 'mix', as the Jupiter lifts off from the pad is an excellent touch.
If only season 1 was in color .... Fantastic job 😍😍😍
What a wonderful re-engineering of the original! And where did you get the colorized footage? It looks amazing!
I believe that's edited in.
One of my favourite shows of all time, this take off was one of those iconic moments I'll never forget. Great job of editing and enhancing the sound! I always thought LIS had one of the best soundtracks of any TV show. You could cut the tension with a knife as the ship gears up for take off!
about 55 seconds in the ATOMIC ENGINES start to power up....!!!
I love it. Wasn't this sound used in Time Tunnel?
Yes, exactly the same. Irwin Allen did everything possible to save money. He reused resources from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, LIS, Land of the Giants, and the Time Tunnel.
Loving the coloured version
The engine sound was also used for the bat cave in the Batman series in 1965-68
Beautiful
Fantastic
This is much better than the lift off in the original show regardless of color. Too bad Mr. Hutton didn't direct the original shows and keep them from turning to schlock.
OUTSTANDING work! I like the color, music/liftoff sound mix...AWESOME!
In COLOR
Most definitely ! Always love the j2 liftoff! The effects, ship and the music is great.....classic!
Looks like footage from the original unaired pilot episode, "No Place To Hide", with no Dr. Smith and no Robot. Irwin Allen's production team added Smith and the Robot after CBS rejected the original pilot. The reworked premiere episode broke up "No Place To Hide" across the first three (or four) aired episodes of Season One in black & white.
LIS had all the potential to become a "fantastic show " actors, props, fx,! too bad IA turned it into a silly show!
I noticed the very first take off from earth the j2 glowed, but the j2 never glowed from take off again..why?🤷♂️🤷🏾♀️
Are there any other "Nitpickers" out there, who saw Grey, Tube shaped Support legs, at the beginning, and Grey 'Box-Beam' Supports, at Takeoff ?
(Or did i drink, fermented bug-juice?)
Monday night @7.30pm in Australia. Monday could never come around quick enough in 66 for us kids :)
Mezzerised and transfixed this former 8 year old when Lost In Space first premiered in September 1965.
All the while thinking I will be a old man of 40 when the Jupiter 2 lifts off in that faraway year of 1997.
everyone was in suspended animation except for stowaway saboteur Dr. Smith and this is why his brain was affected and he started acting CRAZY.....
If anyone asks why we don't see Dr. Smith and the Robot, it's because only the pilot without them was (recently) colorized thusfar.
Wonder. What. Makes. That. Sound. Of. The. Ship. Like. To. Know. Do. They. Make. That. Sound.
That would be the Gemini 12. The Jupiter 2 is the redesign and never took off from Earth (or even appeared in the famous crash sequence which was also the Gemini 12).
As a child, this series could do no wrong... until the talking carrot came along.... but I just noticed a huge, glaring error... the parents go into stasis first, before the children...
The movie adaptation wasn't bad. Confusing a little.
A reboot should be considered whether tv or cinema
Maureen had to look fabulous with her false eyelashes for the multi year journey..great video, I've never seen it colorized .
Um...the Jupiter2 had no weapon turets. The best offensive weapon would be to throw Dr. Smith out of the craft with two hand lasers.
What is only a kid but I always fell in love with the way those engines sounded when they powered up to take off
Yet, we humans, are still a primitive space race, launching rockets & space planes and building tin can space stations. Why not build and launch a flying disc like that in lost in space.
June Lockhart with false eyelashes and lipstick all the way to the Xenian galaxy...also if the ship was on auto pilot and everyone was frozen why did they need Major West?
In case the ship went off course. Major West would have been woken up so as to put the ship back on course. Didn't work with Dr. Smith on board for some reason. In 'No Where to Hide' West was a Geologist I think.
If you remember when Dr. Smith stowed away, the ship was calculated to the exact pounds of the ship weight plus the crew. Doctor Smith's weight was an extra 200 lb and by that plus the damage was caused buy the robot and Smith threw the ship off course. Also in the pilot episode Major West joked to the family and said... "If you wake up and see me driving, you know we're in trouble."
In the original pilot episode when it was featured as the Gemini 12, it was a meteor shower collision which through the ship off course.
Other useful answers aside, don't forget the ship was *_going_* to another planet on auto-pilot. After it *_gets there_* they're going to need a capable human pilot to figure out what to do next and how to do it. Do we land? Here? There? Do we call the whole thing a bust and go back to Earth?
Interstellar travel can be tricky, you can never be sure exactly what awaits you at the other end.
@@uncaboat2399 Sure we know what awaits! You may run into either the Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, or worse yet the Borg!
West was a backup plan in case something went wrong
Los is wonderful if it didn't go silly it would be another star trek I wish the final episode don and Judy gets married and finally get back to earth🖖
Why can't the Back and White episodes be colourised ?.
Better than the original, but it would have been even better fire extinguisher the rocket sound. Just have it as it sounds in the last season when taking off.
Is beautiful the nave , porque podría haber sido un poquito más grande
The Jupiter 2 is the coolest flying saucer ever. 😊
Would be nice without the "dramatic" music.
Really? You had to cut it where you did? It could have been a good clip
It is the beginning that made the show so great that it was the first to do it before anyone else got to do it to have a family to go out into space that got to people to think of the future because it is a family is doing it some day in the future that anyone can do it
Looks great in color.
I watched this first run.
Why are they standing?
Recuerdo cuando era niño demasido fanatico de la serie en mi casa no teniamos tv , iva donde una tia a ver la serie ella muy amablemente me sintonizaba el canal , aunque a ella no le agradava la serie 😂😂😂 cada ves que llegaba a su casa notaba en su cara su desagrado como diciendo ¡¡ otra vez no!😂😂
Holeeeee that sound!! Oh my goodness this gets to me!!
What are those sound effects, exactly.
