I think they said "On mark" too. Why would they need A/B mark anyhow; it's supposedly one-camera, right?

Maybe it's a kind of soda or an ice cream or something? Erik likes treats like that just like Dewey. :D

I've just uploaded 2 videos :
Those are in better quality. I've reencoded the first one, the one I called Paycheck.

Here's a new one:

@yardgames: It appears that sometimes there are two cameras.
Watch that one : http://kaloux.free.fr/Dailies/HR06-AmarkBmark_High.wmv

@tjpeople: Those clips are supposed to enable the editors to select the good takes. Modern Videofilm is the company which turns the films into a VHS or a DVD.

After hearing it in that quality, I would definitely say it was "On mark." Maybe rather than A Mark/B Mark, he meant On Mark in the sense, On your mark, get set, go! :D But you're right, they definitely say A and B in the last.

I'm having a few issues playing the new one, but I'll post a transcript once I get it to work. THANKS!

I just rewatched another part of the VHS, I can clearly hear "On mark" when it's a single camera take. Sorry for having doubted.

Tell me what problem you have with the new one...


Concerning the transcript, here's what I've understood:

- Your **** is right after the um, the bips. Bip, bip, bip, bip ,bip, ... Okay?
- And reset!
- Ready and **** Erik please.!
- And Playback!
Bip (x8)
- Up down, up, down, right, left, right, left...
- Alright, let's cut.

Thanks Alfista Junior. I'm having trouble playing the second one too. I keep getting a message that says "Windows Media Player cannot play this file because it is corrupted." I have no idea what could be the problem. It appears to be in the correct format. :confused:

I had the same message. I donwloaded it manually and it worked. Here's my transcript.

--Your entrance is right after the, uh,
--seasonville.
--beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, du-duh-du-da, ok?
--And all set. Ready?
--And, let's see.
--Erik, ready, please. Thank you.
--And, playback.

[beep, beep] [music]

--up, down, down, right, right.
--Christopher?
--Down, down, up, down, right, left, down, right, up, down, left, right, left, right, down, left, right, up, down, left, left, ok, go! Up, down, up, down, left, right.
--Ok, let's cut it.
--Ready.
--Ok, let's start again.
[beep][music]
--Left, up, down, right, left, left, right.
--Christopher?
--Up, down, up, down, right, left, right, left, left, down, right, left, up...

[a very bored-looking Erik]

--Good, and cut.

Admittedly, the directions were hard to keep up with, but I think I got them all. :D

Everytime I see these behind-the-camera things, it always looks like Erik is the one having the least fun doing the show. I wonder why.:confused:
Anyway, thanks Alfista Junior for posting these. They are great. I always love seeing these behind the scenes and shooting the show type things.:)

Probably because he's 10 (ish) and doesn't have the patience for standing around for hours at a time that the others do. Although he found a way to cope with the standing around in that music clip (the grooving to the music).

@tonymontana: Honestly, I think Erik is the one who's having much more fun. On the last video, I think he tried to focus at the begining. But you see at the end he started dancing: Few actors are doing stuffs like that during a take.. And remember the first video.

You will see sometimes Jane and Bryan are bored during the takes.


@Yardgames: Thanks for your great job. But what does 'seasonville' mean?

It was nothing against Erik(what I said about him seeming to be having no fun). In fact, I think Erik was one of the most talented people on the whole show, and as a whole, he is more talented than many of today's other young "actors".:)

My last post wasn't defensive ;) . Sorry if you misinterpret it. I mean, I thought he was not as bored as we could imagine on this take when I watched the entire two VHS. But I'm not a fan of Erik in particular...I just love the show.:)

Ok, I know you all enjoyed the latest clips, so have a look on those! ;)

I like this one because they are really having fun.

Frankie and Erik have played this game quite a few times.

Interessing to see Justin and Erik are replaced by crew members, because Reese and Dewey are supposed to be off camera, so they're not needed:

--And, on mark.
--Ready, and action.

The other two are taking longer to download; I'll get a transcript as soon as it lets me watch them.

Thanks yardgames, but you can take your time. I'm not pressed.


So, I already did a part of the job ( I think a major part is good but.. )

-A mark!
-B mark!
-And reset.
-Ready and Action!
-Oh oh, here comes Ginger.
-It's five o'clock in the morning. You've been up all night.
-Honey, I know you think this is silly and I'm just gone off the deep end again. But this isn't like the other times. I have a gift Lois and it would be wrong for me to turn my back on that.
-Alright, I see where *** (?) we're faced to (?), which is fine as long as YOU follow the rules. You have to show up for work. You have to eat, Hal, three meals a day. You cannot involve any of the children..
-And you're freezing the joined account.
-I did it last week. Good night Fred, Ginger.
-Why *** I Ginger?
-What the fuck is that all about?
-Hey, look, I'm sorry.
-A mark!
-B mark!
-..middle of the night to do that, and some, you know, my mom came ***
-I will end up here.
-Excellent!
-So is she just ****
-She'e been around now, but she was. Yeah.
-Move **** and Set!
-Ready and Action!
-And you're freezing the joined account.
-I did it last week. Good night Fred, Ginger.
-Why *** Ginger?
-You say 'Why am I Ginger?'.
-Why am I Ginger.
-I wanted to be Ginger. Wasn't that in another.. -I wanted to be Ginger.
-I want to be Marian.
-You are Marian.
-And Action!
-And you're freezing the joined account.
-I did it last week. Good night Fred, Ginger.
-Why am I Ginger?
-Cut it!


By the way, I really enjoy this clip.;) And you?
