Background: Tandem Productions was a independant production company, created in 1997 by
Habitaction's creator, co-host and producer, Danielle Dubuc. Valérie Bissonnette helped her from the show's beginning until 2000 as Danielle Dubuc got full takeover of the company. The company disestablished in 2002, and
Habitaction's rights were now owned by Vélocité International.
(1997-2002)
Nickname: The Tandem Bikes & Filmstrip
Logo: On a grey, cloudy background, we see two tandem bikes rolling around a filmstrip without any film inside. Then, after 10 seconds, the tandem bikes zoom up as the filmstrip settles to roll around. Afterwards, the background changes to a grey-black background and the holes in the filmstrip turn green. The words TANDEM and PRODUCTIONS - FILM - VIDÉO appear like this:
TAN DEM
PRODUCTIONS - FILM - VIDÉO
with TANDEM in a Vacarious-font and with the letter TAN in green and the letter DEM in black.
A copyright stamp shows underneath on the bottom of the screen at the right corner.
Cheesy Factor: The tandem bikes rolling, the holes in the filmstrip changing to green.
Variant: On season 3 of
Habitaction, the tandem bikes are removed and only the green holes animation in seen.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show with film sound effects as the tandem bikes roll around and a storm sound as the logo completes.
Availability: Seen on every episode rerun of
Habitaction on some networks.
Scare Factor: A little creepy.
