00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,080
Hi. l'm Amanda. Welcome to
my behind-the-scenes video.

2
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,760
MGM gave us cameras,
asked us to film stuff.

3
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,120
lt's a little scary, but l hope you like it.

4
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,920
lt's a look at the wacky,
wild and wonderful family

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,920
that make up Stargate SG-1

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,440
and some of the fun and frivolity
we have behind the scenes.

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,480
And work! The work that we do.
We do a lot of work.

8
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,240
Hope you enjoy it.

9
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,400
(Amanda) The entrance
into the Stargate studios.

10
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,840
Agh!

11
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Everyone hides
when they see me coming!

12
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,520
Here we are backstage. Stargate.

13
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,840
Oh, here we go.

14
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,920
(hums Stargate theme)

15
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,400
lt's a little dark in here
but you can get the idea.

16
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Back there is, of course,
the control room.

17
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,200
We're going down one of
the hallowed halls of the SGC

18
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,800
into the control room.

19
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,760
The star map.

20
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Earth.

21
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,480
These don't work. See.

22
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,560
l turned on the lights.

23
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,080
l wonder if l can start up the Stargate?

24
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Oh, look at that!

25
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920
Another set of stairs
up to the briefing room.

26
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Lots of...

27
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Lots of bells and whistles.

28
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,320
There's a water cooler.
More bells and whistles.

29
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,720
lt is 5.30 in the morning.

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,680
We are on location in Cloverdale.

31
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,760
- Look, it's Amanda!
- lt's Susan Wardrobe,

32
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,840
coming to give me my clothing.

33
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,440
- Hi, Sue.
- Hi.

34
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,600
Here's our circus.
The circus in the mud.

35
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
OK. Lunch hour
on the set of Stargate SG-1

36
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,040
on location in Cloverdale,
British Columbia.

37
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,920
Here's Michael Shanks. Michael Shanks,
everyone, going for lunch! Whoa!

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Look at these beautiful people.
Look at their amazing costumes.

39
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,880
They look sort of Amish.

40
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,560
These are all of our background
performing artists, waiting for lunch.

41
00:02:57,640 --> 00:02:59,640
l'm gonna take you to Catering.

42
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,560
Here we are at the lunch truck.

43
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:05,160
Richard Dean Anderson,
ladies and gentlemen. Oh, my God.

44
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,320
l'm gonna show you what kind of food we
get here on Stargate. You'll be amazed.

45
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Wow, salads!

46
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,680
l see a camera.

47
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,120
Michael Shanks, ladies and gentlemen.
And he puts it back!

48
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,120
Here is Tracy Westerholm,
one of my stand-ins.

49
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200
A beautiful woman.

50
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Doesn't look at all like me,
but she's perfect.

51
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600
She stands in for me.

52
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Say hi, Trace.

53
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,040
She's having a baby. This is her
second baby while working on Stargate.

54
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Bill Nikolai.
Richard Dean Anderson's stand-in.

55
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Herbert, Christopher Judge's stand-in.

56
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,440
l'm your favourite stand-in for Teal'c.

57
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,920
(Amanda) He is indeed.

58
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,160
There's Kyle, Michael's stand-in.

59
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Doesn't he look like Michael?
Michael's stand-in.

60
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,920
(Amanda Iaughs)

61
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,320
Michael Greenburg, executive producer.
Cellphone. Headphones. This is the man.

62
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,600
- A pen for rewrites.
- (Amanda) Pen for rewrites.

63
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,160
This is the guy.
This is quality-control master.

64
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Or, as we like to call him,
the Lord of the ldiots. Cos he rules us.

65
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,880
We're about to do a take.

66
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,080
(director) And...

67
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,320
Here we go.

68
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,840
(Amanda) Notice the reverence
in which we approach our craft.

69
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,120
(director) Action, gentlemen.

70
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,040
lt is Ragnarok. Lord Freyr tells us
we must prepare for our death.

71
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,840
That's a bit of a negative spin
with the old paraphrasing.

72
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,080
That's a bit of a negative spin
with the oId paraphrasing.

73
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,240
Does Freyr pIant your crops for you?

74
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Does Freyr plant
your cr... crops for you?

75
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Does he?

76
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:19,480
Does he harvest them?
Does he build your homes for you?

77
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Those are the tasks of our own hands.

78
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,240
ExactIy. You've aIways had
free wiII before. Why not now?

79
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,160
Why not now?

80
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Maybe this ultimate test... lt's not a test.

81
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,960
Exactly. You've always
had free will before.

82
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Why not now?

83
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Maybe this ultimate conflict is just
a test of your... ingenuity and courage.

84
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Maybe this uItimate conflict is just
a test of your... ingenuity and courage.

85
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,280
And cut!

86
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,320
(Amanda) What a dude.

87
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Action. Cut.

88
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,360
(Amanda) Do your other cut.

89
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,440
And cut.

90
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,480
We're on a planet...
on another world, in our universe.

91
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,440
lt's a very festive planet right now.

92
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,280
Come forth. It is a time for rejoicing.

93
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Freyr has sent us visitors from Midgardr.

94
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,920
But things will change
as we get deeper into the story.

95
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,400
This is only scene one
and it is science fiction. Drama.

96
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,520
But it's a festive Gate with
a lot of fruit and flowers and niceness.

97
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,840
(Amanda) Even though it's cold?

98
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,200
We're getting ready to shoot SG-1
coming through the Stargate.

99
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,840
Frosted, which we
haven't done since the pilot.

100
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,240
This is our director, Martin Wood.
He's showing you the frosting effect.

101
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,720
lt's so cold out here today.

102
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,760
- The magic of special effects.
- Yeah.

103
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,760
l'm gonna go and stick my face
in the heater now.

104
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,120
Thanks, Martin.

105
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,440
- Boiling wax.
- Boiling wax!

106
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,200
So, boiling wax. We get this going here.

107
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,720
lt's actually... lt's hot paraffin.

108
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600
- (Amanda) Hot paraffin wax.
- And they spray it at you.

109
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,520
And you just stick your face in.

110
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Eyes open if you want,
but then your eyes'll be frosted, too.

111
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,600
- Does it hurt?
- No.

112
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,000
You don't feel it.
lt's like sticking your face in a muffler.

113
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,720
Will, our camera operator, is prepared
to tumble out of the gate with all of you

114
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,800
as you tumble out of the gate.

115
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680
(Amanda) Getting ready for the big stunt.

116
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,800
As you know, Carter,
when you dialled in this planet,

117
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,600
you did something wrong.

118
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
You didn't follow protocol.

119
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,120
Sir, we bypassed some of
the normaI diaIIing protocoIs.

120
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,240
The fact is, this pIanet is dying
and it's probabIy because of us.

121
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,360
But you can fix it, right?

122
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,520
And you went too close to the sun -
well, this sun, whatever this sun is.

123
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,120
And you've caused
this whole thing to happen.

124
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,760
Yeah, you. Your character. You did this.

125
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,200
And now you're gonna have to undo it.
But you have 42 pages to undo it.

126
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,960
(Amanda) Excellent. Thank you, Michael.

127
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Michael Greenburg, executive producer.

128
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:42,680
Or, better known as...

129
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,120
(Amanda) The Lord of the ldiots!

130
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Can you explain to us
what you're doing? What doing?

131
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,640
We're trying to recreate
the interactive of the gate

132
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,360
with 25,000-watt lightning machines,

133
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,640
but we seem to be having trouble
with the cable to the generator.

134
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,200
- We're having technical difficulties.
- ''Houston! We have a problem.''

135
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,040
l'll sign off for now, but come back
when we shoot the stunt.

136
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,720
- Are you gonna do some acting for me?
- Yeah, yeah, baby!

137
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,920
(director) And action!

138
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,120
OK! What was that?

139
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,480
(director) Cut!

140
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:29,560
Action!

141
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,000
Cut!

142
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,840
(Amanda) lt didn't go so well.

143
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,920
(director) Action!

144
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,240
OK. What was that?

145
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,320
Cut!

146
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640
OK. What was that?

147
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,440
All right. Here we go.

148
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,920
Yahoo!

149
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040
What was that?

150
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,240
Carter?

151
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,360
Margin of error...

152
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,680
Carter.

153
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,720
We did have to override some of the
diaIIing protocoIs in order to get a Iock.

154
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,880
I'II check the diaIIing computer
when we get home.

155
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,480
Still there.

156
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Wait! l need that tape.

157
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,960
Rolling!

158
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,640
- Hi. l'm Amanda. Welcome to my...
- Smile!

159
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,000
The camera's rolling!

160
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,560
OK, Amanda Tapping intro.
Take two. Rolling.

161
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,640
We'll just cut.
Amanda Tapping intro. Take three.

162
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,600
We'll just cut.

163
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,040
Have you collected yourself?
Are you together?

164
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,720
All right. Amanda Tapping intro.

165
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Take four.

166
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,760
- lt's that that's getting me.
- l know, you have to stop doing that.

167
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:31,560
lt's OK.

168
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,320
Oh, cut.
