Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Photos of Production Miniatures

Back in 1979 I proposed an article on IrwinAllen\'s series \"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea\" to STARLOG magazine.Happily they agreed and my writing partner, Mike Clark, and I went off on a search forthe people behind the film and the TV series. Along the way we discovered thatan executive at 20th Century Fox had two of the original miniatures from theshow on display in his office. These were two of the smaller models, thefour-foot Seaview and one of the Flying Subs. Both were mounted on wooden basesand sitting on a shelf in the office.

We asked if we could photograph the miniaturesand were told yes, but not in the office as it was too crowded. Instead, we wereoffered the use of a soundstage as long as we didn\'t get in anyone\'s way. Istill remember the thrill of walking across the Fox lot carrying the Seaview infront of me. I can also remember a mad desire to jump in the car and never headback!

Mike and I photographed the miniatures from avariety of angles and under some very hectic conditions. The stage was beingprepped for the studio\'s Christmas party and there were ladders and workmeneverywhere. The people working on the stage weren\'t thrilled about us being inthe middle of it all, so we were only able to get one quick roll of photos.Evidently these miniatures have long since gone missing, so this is a chance tosee the only photos of them that I know of.

This sale is for a CD copy of thoseslides. The original slides were copied on a Nikon Coolscan scanner with Digital ICE color correction and scratch removal.

In addition, there are pictures of Irwin Allen in his office at Warner Bros. during our interview for the article, as well as shots of a large-size Flying Sub for sale at an sale, others in storage and finally scenes of me successfully fitting my newly purchased FS-1 into the back of a Porsche! There\'s also one shot of the Robot from Lost in Space before the costume was restored. There are a total of 45 different pictures.

Bonus - I have added several other pictures of the Seaview and Flying Sub:

Additional slides of another Flying Sub on display at a science fiction convention
Additional shots of my own FS-1 the day I purchased it.
Pictures of the 17-foot production miniature of the Seaview on display at the now defunct Movie World museum in Buena park, CA - from 1979

The science fiction convention and Movie World shots also include some scenes of \"Robby the Robot\" from \"Forofferden Planet\", including some with co-star Anne Francis.

I have added these to the CD as well for a total of 65 high resolution images.
