Nickelodeon Arcade: Bonus Round "Behind The Scenes" Montage 

Well, they could have done a green screen.

@@aualga might not have worked as properly as they wanted it to. Plus you'd have to disallow people wearing green in studio. For very obvious reasons.

Red vs Yellow worked well just Like Red vs blue worked well on double dare

Like an even more shittier Kinect.

Was a great and cool idea but back then they made did with what technology was available.

Looks like tge same concept was recycled into another game show a couple years later called Secrets Of The Cryptkeeper's Haunted House.

Billo1281 Me too. He probably sent over 24000 of us. Lol

Benjamin Kellog Hi, Ben. Actually, they do take up quite a bit of space. As the contestants run out of the Video Zone, you can see the "Wizard Level" in the background, they just didn't make it on the day the EPK crew was shooting. That set is over 30' wide and 25 feet tall. The "Haunted Museum" is about 25' wide and 25' tall. Both the Wizard Level and the Haunted Museum are "flat" 2D type environments, so the play area projecting outward was relatively limited, only about a 10' apron from the furthest blue screen vertical element. "Snowslingers" was shot from above and covers at least a 16 x 22 feet area. The cramped feeling comes from the lighting, which had to be strictly controlled because of the needs of the getting a clean key from the blue sets and that those sets where part of the shows live action. They literally have to run, through the door, get ready on the blue set and -- boom -- go! And they are in position ready for the next level whether it happens or not. If we didn't keep those blue sets close to each -- and they really do take up a lot of room -- we would have had to done multiple edits in every show to cover the time of their movement (back then, "online" editing occurred in a big suite with expensive tape machines, something you always wanted to avoid; it is why game shows have a reality TV type look to them, they are shot live to tape to make them economical. Only major gaffs or swapping out prizes and stuff were edited out). When those contestants run, they are running to catch the show before we roll into credits. If we made the sets any further away, they may not have made it. For Enthlevel, we are planning on the games being shot from multiple angles and even employing tracking shots for the virtual reality portion of the game. The graphics will draw from the latest video game technologies and we hope to exceed some of these effects by combining them with technology from the broadcast side of the equation. Using today's technology, will produce stunning results and we will have far more latitude in the types of games, accessories and powers/effects you will be able to deploy.

+enthlevel wow that sounds extremely complicated. O_o I remember watching this on Saturday mornings at 7 AM back in 1993-1994 but I think the show only lasted a year. How long did it take to tape one episode? Did they do 3-4 in one day like most game shows? Jeopardy does a week's worth in 2 days. I also thought they did the live action video game segment shot on another day or something. Looks like they do it all in one take when the audience is there. Is that true?

Great compliment for the host!

I agree

It's also how Knightmare's dungeon is done, and why that shows has the contestant wear a helmet covering his or her eyes.

But fun. Ever see Knightmare?

I think only Snowslinger was a mess. Contestants usually didn't have that much trouble getting to the Wizard level.

​@@SgtSega Oh heck yes. I saw that when it came on originally. Really clever show

I agree, the ones with actual props were unnecessary

@@nostalgiamostalgia0319 yah snow slingers only had 3 wins/passes you did a video on that

+Shen Agüeybaná II yep i agree , seems rigged

There have to be monitors off camera (about where the cameras are shooting everything) that show the superimposed animated picture, similar to how a weatherman has monitors to the side so they can see what they're doing. That's why sometimes the kids will be looking at the camera while trying to do something.

Its rigged THE END

DUDE THE PEOPLE WERE TELLING THE WHERE 2 GO. Dont talk again .

The butthurt in your comment is quite obvious. You see the monitor in the level 2 play right next to the assistants catching the balls, so they have an idea of where they need to throw. It clearly is not rigged. And what's wrong with the host helping out some nervous kids, in the same manner as every single other Nickelodeon show involving some form of a physical challenge?

I'll never tell...

It's essentially the same blue/green screen technology meteorologists use on the local news...

Frank Rizzo Nadine in season 1 didn't do a good job in level 1, because it was wtf.

Eh, if you know some TV, you can figure it out. When I was in elementary school, we visited the CNN center and I was wearing blue. They talked about how weather was done and asked me to come up and help show the others why people don't wear blue on a blue screen. I also got to describe the mock weather setup like I was on TV so that was cool too.

Nope.

The only thing that would "wreck" it if you wear anything that is blue. That is why they wear different colors bands and such.

TheMcgillacuddy Are you serious?

Enthdegree is a project of Nick Arcade's production team. They probably had it in archive.

Blark Nilfog and Clane Junkins

Cas and Jeanine. The whole series, including the 20 gas skipped episodes are available on Paramount+.

Both shows are better than video Power that show was garbage
