Thanks. Also see: "SPECIAL EDITION: Relaunching the Gemini12"

Thank you! I truly appreciate your enthusiastic response! That said, we have a recently updated and tightly re-edited version featuring much new information I feel you may enjoys as well. Please see: SPECIAL EDITION Relaunching the Gemini 12

I sincerely appreciate your saying that. ---BUT I have to get Glen back onto finishing our (narrative) "Effects Reel" and post it here, as a must before you go on and continue to flatter us. We all already have ego issues!

MUCH appreciated!

I already have. Should I take it you want one?

We HAD planned on flying a camera drone alongside, ahead and behind the Gemini 12 as it slid down the wires, but I found during the permit application that drones were strictly forbidden by the Park Authorities (Edwards Air Force Base is very near by in fighter jet terms!) So Glen's idea was the internal Go Pro instead.

We've recently uploaded an updated and far more concise version (with improvements!) See: ---SPECIAL EDITION Relaunching the Gemini 12

Thanks. Glen has image-corrected the Go-Pro's inherent distortion and added a few tricks of his own to the interior POV footage (he has a fabulous set of skills!) and all will soon be seen in our "Effects Reel".

You're welcome.

WHAT A NASTY COMMENT!

Just wait until you see what Glen did with it in post!!!

Yes. That is what I also used to describe the "Spire Shot" as: Before, during and after this shoot.

Thank you. The ONLY way one fails at a task, any task is by giving up. Therefore, my advice is to never give up, NEVER GIVE UP, ---until you succeed!

Thank you too.

Much appreciated.

Gee Wizzzz, thanks

Thank you.

Thanks.

I accidentally posted the comment intended for you to the fellow below: Michael, ----Thank you for your compliments! That Seaview seen at 7:58, is a "brand new original" directly molded in epoxy resin and fiberglass from the very, VERY first original, 20th Century Fox Studios, Seaview miniature. That specific and original miniature was recently sold at the "Greg Jein --Heritage Auctions" event and was restored by myself, well over 30 years ago. It's the original hand-sculpted "pattern" made in wood and plaster "Four Foot Approval" miniature produced for the 1961 feature, "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". I most clearly remember telling Greg all the way back then at the time "It's not original anymore now that it's been restored Greg." And he said to me; "...That (it was restored) doesn't matter, ....and if not by YOU Paul,, ...then by who?!" With that incredible compliment coming directly from Greg Jein himself, HOW could I not remember what exactly he said!? As for another and closer look, well, I am (at my leisure) fully finishing- out that fiberglass one seen here. Last month after a quick painting in the correct colors, I brought it to a very small meeting of "Voyage" fans and photos of it with a well done octopus (in plastic!) rubber-banded to its nose have been uploaded to a "Voyage" fan site on Facebook. Perhaps, I may convince Mr. Clark to do a Seaview video as I am also finishing up an exact 8-1/2 duplicate Flying Sub version Seaview as seen beside June Lockhart in Kevin Burn's 1995 production of "The Fantasy World's of Irwin Allen," where I was Property Master. And kindly realize, its use in that production does make it the very last official, 20th Century Fox Seaview. I'd love to describe the Seaview's evolution from "manta-finless" 24 windows (12 pair) to the genuinely beautiful eight widow variant (with front manta fins) and to the final, thicker and more bulbous (just as with the Jupiter 2 !) Flying Sub version, with all three major filmed miniatures FULLY illustrated. Why don't you write to him right here at the "Gemini12 Channel" and politely ask about possibly doing just that!?I accidentally posted your response Michael to the fellow's comment below:---

Glad you enjoyed it.

@@paullubliner6221 Wow Paul, I will write him. Thank you for your kind response. I noticed the Seaview in the background. Delighted to hear about your experience with it.

Thanks.

Much appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks. Editorial on this was extensive and the original 3 part version required over two months.

@gemini12channel58 as you might expect, the level of interest in something like this could run a broad spectrum, and I would be somewhere in the middle, so a good editing job would keep someone like me engrossed from beginning to end, which it did. I can only imagine how serious you were with this project considering all the effort your team put in to pull it off. We certainly appreciate those efforts!

We have our own post production editing and digital effects experts in both Glen Loughboro and Mike Clark. ---AND, we will soon be uploading a full narrative of the never seen completed crash sequence with all the missing shots you always wanted to see with all new Cinematography as well as those digital effects expertly done in post.

@@paullubliner6221 This is really exciting news! Having a team of skilled post-production editors and digital effects artists working on recreating the Gemini 12 crash from Lost in Space is fantastic. I can't wait to see the completed sequence with all the missing shots finally filled in. Getting to watch new cinematography blended with top-notch CGI work is going to be such a treat. It's clear a lot of passion and attention to detail is being poured into this project to get everything just right. Your team's expertise and commitment to doing justice to this iconic scene is really appreciated. Longtime fans are going to be over the moon getting to experience the crash sequence as originally envisioned. Kudos to you all for taking on this ambitious task. The care and craftsmanship going into it is outstanding. I'm genuinely grateful for the hard work making this a reality for the Lost in Space community. Can't wait to see the fantastic final result!

Yup!

We didn't have the "resources" to do this either, but we went out there and did it anyway. Why don't you make a trip there with a rented portable Leica 3D laser scanner and generate the CAD files yourself? Then you could simply surface the entire area with Non-Rationalized Basleline Splines (NURBS) and 3D print the entire and complete formation as a Filament Deposition Manufactured F.D.M. in .010" diameter A.B.S. filament for decent resolution. .005" would give better results but is expensive. I'd avoid PLA: Poly Lactic Acid as structurally, it's junk.

Thanks!

Thank you. You can get the gist of how I did that by watching "Restoring the Gemini 12".

Paul I did just watch it. Thank you. May I say you are an amazing talent. You must have really cool stories through your career. Your mancave must be A++

@@blanck0037 Lol, thank you very much. Well, yeah I suppose. One story is included in a reply below regarding "Red October". As for those things I do have, they very well please me to be sure.

I genuinely appreciate your saying that!

THANK YOU!

That's because it is real. -----There's a current trend BACK to "Practical Special Effects Miniatures" that are shot digitally and then further processed in post. RIGHT NOW: Glen is finishing up that very post work (along with a touch more of "principle" photography) of what he'd shot on location of me operating the ship on the Lydecker Rig as seen in the above documentary. This is for Glen and my upcoming "Effects Reel". At this point in time that effects reel is looking simply outstanding. Trust me, no CGI can render those rock formations with quality and level of detail simple High Resolution imagery can record for both a fraction of the cost and the time. I tried telling that to the [producers of "The Hunt For Red October". They 'd offered me the task of building the "Dallas" as a 4 foot long, torpedo firing, bubble generating radio-controlled working submersible; A 688 Class Hunter-Killer, but they wanted it in two weeks. I told them 6 weeks so they turned me down. Three months later they, called again. Once again, I told them 6 weeks. SOoooo they got the (poor) CGI they ended up with some 4 months later and at 50 times my price.

Much appreciated.

Thanks!

HOW would you like to see EXACTLY that and a lot more "missing footage"?

@@paullubliner6221 - It would be interesting to see. I enjoy seeing behind the scenes about how things were shot as well as footage that wasn't used. Cutting room floor stuff. That can be very interesting. :-)

@@arthurschwieger82 What I am referring to is what Glen and I are doing with the footage he'd shot during this production: our "Effects Reel". It's second part (crash sequence) is nearing completion and includes that "missing" footage.

@@paullubliner6221 - I appreciate the geekness of what you are doing. I have envisioned a full scale Jupiter 2 on its landing legs as a clubhouse. Then I think it would be cool to have it as an Air B&B setup! I am not in a position to put something like that into practice but I can imagine it. I look forward to your missing footage compilation. Thank you for the time and effort you are putting into these videos.

Glad you enjoyed it!
