Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

[sportadic22]

This uploader is not the maker or has anything to do with this video. My father was designer and creator of this video. everything in the video has been created by him in programs. By measures and pictures of the original sub, he designed a duplicate that is seen in this short film.

[goth1856]

had the sub model as well as the flying sub when i was a kid

good times, good times...

[luridplanet]

People are impressed by CGI, but models can't be beat, in some situations

[paullubliner]

@luridplanet Uh, YUP!

[mearp69]

nicely done and a remake would be a good thing

[brahmin21]

now we need the seaview and admiral nelson to save us from the oil volcano...

and apparently the sea floor is rising by 12 feet a day off the coast of australia

[excelsciors]

I wonder why someone hasn't invested in making a new updated movie? I loved Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Sure it was campy, but it was fun to watch.

[silkmann]

@excelsciors There are too many remakes at it now. They have done remakes of DUKES OF HAZZARD, and MOD SQUAD...all from the 1960's now you want Voyage to the Bottom? Instead I suggest comming up with a new ORGINAL Idead for the 21st century.

[paullubliner]

@silkmann Hell, all they use is the name.

[Capt777harris]

Heh, the one thing I just noticed, the Seaview is an SSBN :-)

[Capt777harris]

@paullubliner Well, okay. What's the "R" stand for? Rocket? And I took material science, but no I don't know what the fictional window of a fictional show is made of. But assuming it's just thick glass cast in the mid 60s, then it probably wouldn't last long.

Voyage to the bottom of the pee. Submarine w/ lightening holes like in an aircraft.

[markape1]

This show as a kid prompted me to decide that one day I would film something..and I did ...check it out PRANKSTERS IN THE PARK

[chialeux514]

That's one bubbly submarine ! Was it soda-powered ? Heh heh heh. Just kidding here, great work and thanks for posting ! I remember seeing the show religiously every week when I was a kid. A friend of mine had a small-scale Seaview, with diving bell and all. I could have killed to get one like this ! But no store in Canada had it. His parents got it for him on a trip to the US. Probably worth kajillions now. ( sigh ).

[Mastercorder]

You people wouldnt believe a real made for the movies detailed model that was scaled right and with very great detail and one that had a camera team that knew how to make realistic moves and use these angles of attack for shooting the video its a lost art but it would challenge the most sophisticated cgi ........

[CubanCheGuevara]

I understand that submarines don't PING in the normal process of navigating. Although they can and DO ping, it is the surface ships above LOOKING FOR submarines that release pings.

[stevelatinner]

Do you always write in caps.

[CubanCheGuevara]

stevelatinner - Only when I'm PINGING (my sonar is always keeping a look-out for assholes). Looks like I found one!

[TooleMan87]

Wouldn't it be great if new CGI was cut into the old episodes, like the newly-refurbished Star Trek TOS! Voyage has always irritated me with its inconsistent depiction of the Seaview. Sometimes she has eight windows, sometimes she has four.

[RhedRhose]

Seaview from season one did have eight windows. For season 2-4 she was 'refited' to accomodate the Flying Sub under the nose. To cut production costs stock footage from season one was often used, even if it caused continuity issues.

[TooleMan87]

"So we get a few letters. So what?" - Irwin Allen

[paullubliner]

@TooleMan87: No because it would look like every other CGI effort, a CARTOON!

[Actionguy1]

Grat work!

I love the "MFU" reference at he end, btw!

[Coullion43]

Alllllllllllllllrighty then...

[TooleMan87]

Nice job. Nice to see people still care about the show, too.

[Beamshipcaptain]

Nice, but I prefer LB Abbott's miniature photography to cheap CGI any day.

[ACLTony]

Beautifully done! I have such fond memories of watching the show with my parents around 1967-68. Precious moments.

[TVC17]

When I was 8 my dad got me a model of the sea view.That was 40 years ago and how do I miss those days....

[EnigmaNZ1]

When this was made, lasers and polycarbonate were new so both were used. There was a green laser that fired from the nose, and it was stated in the series that the windows were I think 4 inches of polycarbonate. There are also metal shields that cover them when required. Acrylic, much weaker, is used in deep diving submercibles, check out the USsubs site. I take it the rear fins are off a american car of the era, submercible studebaker lol.

[mdepfl]

that thing leaks like crazy - look at all the bubbles

[liltari]

Well done! Fans of the show, myself included, can't help but be impressed by the faithful detail you put into this clip. Thanks.

[lewisknox123]

haha cobblers

[Uriz]

this video is a shit

este video es una mierda

[michreloaded]

Estoy por aquí... también e visto comentarios en español...así que no me voy a matar mucho con el inglés. Está chevere

[Dreaded88]

Wish Seaview II could be made as a composite of both Seaview as well as Skydiver!

That, and instead of missles in the tubes, Rocket launched Coeleoptre fighters!

[SecularReligion]

Dildoes in the missile tubes! Big pink dildoes that shoot into the sky and spew all over the commies! ...And orgies on every unrealistically roomy deck!

[Dreaded88]

Sure...

[ljserio]

Great job looks real good !

[thunderferretsarego]

what a load of cobblers. the only good thing about this is the soundtrack. vaguely mysterious, in a debussy - claire de lune kind of way. otherwise a Truly big bag of festering cobblers of the first order. ps....................shit

[Actionguy1]

Beautiful! I have to agree with bluejeangreenwood, this is what a submarine should look like!

[bluejeangreenwood]

The Seaview is a beautiful submarine!! Irwin Allen did a marvellous job designing it. Tell me,"Why? After all these years can't the U.S.Navy finally build a super submarine such as the Seaview? Someone please tell me.

[Dreaded88]

Because the pressure of the water would crush those big windows! That, and the incompressability problems you run into when trying to land an airplane into water. It's more like hitting a brick wall!

[Hendo56]

Well, for starters, the design is not hydro-dynamic. Those big fins in front produce a lot of drag, as well as provide permanent downthrust. They had to use wires and such to keep the Seaview models on an even keel. It looks cool, but it is not a sound underwater design.

[Capt777harris]

The real reason, there's really no reason for one. That, and as someone else said, the Seaview's front end would force the boat downwards, and the windows would crack and burst. The Soviet had a sub with windows on the sail, but I can't recall her class name.

[veryadventurous]

foxtrot class

[Capt777harris]

That was it. Thank you.

[paullubliner]

@Capt777harris: No, you are incorrect. The bow does not force the boat downwards. There are 0 degrees incidence to the front planes, fins or whatever they are. We too had many early Nuclear subs with "Deadlights" in their all weather "Flying Bridge" as well as did the Soviets.

[Capt777harris]

@paullubliner Just look at the way the thing is shaped. The planes aren't angled down, but entire nose is. I think this is even commented on in the documentary accompanying the first season DVD.

[Capt777harris]

@paullubliner Apparently the people on the DVD differ.

[Capt777harris]

@paullubliner I have it on DVD. I've seen it many times. It's a hack sci-fi flick like any other.

[Capt777harris]

@paullubliner Whatever dude. Go live your fantasies some place else.

[Capt777harris]

@paullubliner So? I worked in SFX for several years. That doesn't impress me. You had one gig. I did it for years of doing it. Go brag to someone else.

[Capt777harris]

@paullubliner Bite me, I've set up more miniatures in the 80s and early 90s than you'll ever work on.

[paullubliner]

@Capt777harris : Set up? ABSOLUTELY No doubt you have "set up" more props than I ever would care to do. Big F***ing Deal. Have you ever designed, created or made anything used on camera or ever lit a set? Or do you simply "place objects?" What's your FULL NAME please? Tell us all. We'll find out for ourselves how real you are with a simple Google Search.

[paullubliner]

@bluejeangreenwood Irwin Allen did not design it. Herman Blumenthal designed it for the feature with Bill Creber changing the front into a face.

[dalzilla]

Beautiful. 5 stars

[60sThru80s]

Great job, and great choice of angles. Your love for the Seaview shows through it, and that makes a lot of difference in how things like this is filmed. With the exception of perhaps the U.S.S Enterprise, I always felt this was the most graceful vehicle ever designed in sci-fi/fantasy.

[fightboss]

This is AWESOME computer Work! think it would be Interesting to have the Sea View encounter the Sea Quest? then you could see 2 Awesoe Subs on Screen!

[SpaceIntruderDetecto]

Beautiful Job. I'm working on a Flying Sub model in Google Sketch that's coming along pretty well. This video really inspires me to do the Seaview Next. Great job

[georgiahoosier]

Beautiful computer work of a beautiful boat. I could watch the Seaview ply the waters all day long. Thanks for posting this

[mjbivouac]

This is what submarines SHOULD look like! NIce work. You do a good job of creating interesting visual transitions, and including sound effects and music to excellent effect. Some of the CGI generated JUPITER TWO videos here on YOU TUBE are hard to watch as their creators do not seem to understand that 5 or 6 minutes of a take off, fly-by and landing and nothing else is downright DULL!

MJB

[babesgazelle]

My Pop was the man responsible for the sound effects on the original T.V. show. Along with many other shows, like Lost In Space and Features like the original Dr. Dolittle and Fantastic Voyage. Rest in peace, Dad: you were a talented s.o.b.

[jeffbob4343]

Many thanks to your Dad. He helped create a wonderful set of memories for myself and other kids back then. It was around 1961 as I recall. I do indeed recall the use of the sound effects in both VTTBOTS and Lost In Space.

[wolverine58]

really really cool...mant this could be today

[ChipMorton]

I LOVE MY SEAVIEW!

[1701alpha]

awsome

[Hendo56]

Nautical engineers were probably aghast, but the Seaview looks great 40 years later!

[hart2316]

the seaview is still cool

[visor109]

I was waiting for the flying sub!
