Netflix’s Lost in Space, a remake of the 1965 series, is a playground for sound. In the first two episodes alone, the series introduces at least five unique environments, including an alien planet, a whole world of new tech (from wristband communication systems to medical analysis devices),
new modes of transportation, an organic-based robot lifeform and its correlating technologies, a massive explosion in space and so much more. It was a mission not easily undertaken, but if anyone could manage it, it was four-time Emmy Award-winning supervising sound editor Benjamin Cook of 424 Post in Culver City. He’s led the sound teams on series like Starz’s Black Sails, Counterpartand Magic City, as well as HBO’s The Pacific, Rome and Deadwood, to name a few.
