Don't forget the German ö (or oe) sound for the first vowel, which is made by saying a combination of "oh" and "eh" at the same time. :)

Nicely done Mimm.

Having Paul get down on one knee was a great touch, guys.

I enjoyed the video. I'll admit, it wasn't my favourite, but it was enjoyable. Kathleen's facial expressions during that one scene were some of the best I've seen of her. Also, I laughed at the awkward pause during the blurb at the end, after Graham said he didn't see us here.
Just call me Dylan. It's easier to pronounce.

A very good goodbye to a Loadingreadyrun.com weekly video. I like the bit you did at the end though.

wonderful video. Great acting all around by you guys, and gal.

Thank god you had that sign at then end, otherwise I would have kept freaking out.

Also how many times has Paul died now. I can think of two off hand. However I am not sure if I should also add the times he died in the rumble since that was a dream sequence.
I was told the meaning of life once. I just wish I had written it down.

This video pretty much sums up what LRR is - quirky, unpredictable and slightly self aware. Good fun all around!

Pretty great. Solid premise and script, good acting all 'round, and over all very well paced.

you know what i love? it's only in the end announcement, but that "I didn't see you there" was classy.

Wow. Where ever did you get the idea to add "keep calm and carry on" ?(Kathleen! I'm lookin At you!)

Graham, your new place looks very..... Spacious. :)

Liked this one a lot. What do you guys have against Paul, you keep killing him off in videos. Pauls an alright guy. Cut him a break okay!

Also, great face acting Kathleen.

You mean painful and over before you know it? Ohhhh... That doesn't work the same when it comes to females... Let's pretend I was making that joke at Graham's expense.

...

Hey look, the topic.

How much of it deviates from the script?

The Cascade Room is a place in Vancouver that has the original "Keep Calm" thing etched in glass. It looks rad. But no, that wasn't the inspiration, I just think it's cool.

As for how much the video deviates from the original script, I'll let Mimm tell you.

Umm... kay.... can't let a person revel in five minutes of internet fame- "ooh I'm Graham, King LRR and don't you forget it myeh-nene-myeh blehbleh...

Well, the original script had another girl, for one thing, so rather than "I banged your sister", it had Elanor calling him a wicked fucker, to which he replied "Huh. That's what she said". Cue catfight.

Also.... Oh, the memory card bit. The script I'd originally sent Graham had this bit kind of vague, I'd intended to change it but forgot.

Also the callback to the chicken was Graham's idea.
Also Jer's character originally, rather than a list in his pocket, pulled up his sleeves to reveal notes covering his hands and arms.

BUt other than that, I think everything was the same...
Oh, there was the scene with the motorbike, crocodile pit and giant, 60ft blancmange, but I guess that had to go for timing, huh?

The second girl was changed owing to lack of cast and not being necesary, the memory card was (as you say) quite vague in the original, and the arm-writing was changed because we'd shot out of order and forgotten to write on Jer's arm in the wide shots.

The chicken callback was thought of independently by myself and Kathleen. Great minds!

The moment Graham said "we enter into our partnership with the Escapist, which is a lot of fun for us" I imagined him diving into a pool of gold, like in Duck Tales.

Another change to the original script which I noticed was that Mimm hadn't quite worked out how Schroedinger's Heart worked: she had Eric's heart suddenly giving out due to a quantum event, but at a predictable time, which obviously isn't a direct parallel to Schroedinger's Cat. I loved the fix, which was that Schroedinger's Heart means not even Eric's heart knows whether or not he's still alive, and it was the stress of not knowing that actually caused it to give up. Maybe it's just funny to me because we'd already discussed it without coming up with a solution, but I ROFL'd so hard at that line.

Wait! Has anyone mentioned Tim's AWESOME hair this week? It was like all spikey in the middle.

He's becoming less and less Matt-like every time we see him.

*Sigh*

I miss the good ol' days. Remember them days? When we all talked about clones and whatnot?
Nothing to see here.

I was a little miffed we hadn't come up with such a neat solution. Still, very good.
