QC: Behind the Scenes
jwhouk:
That's part of the reason for the second BTS special. She had to take her second sabbatical during the wedding arc.
Ben:
HANNERS .... sorry, Phoebe who? Oh, no, no.... So anyway, that's why Faye never goes in the Horrible Revelation, we couldn't get a release on the Romance Detective image rights so she can't wear the hat and cape.
FAYE ... Shame really, 'cause the bubble-pipe would be fun. I don't remember who did the voice-over for the original CGI May, they were never on-set.... A lot if people think Brent Spiner is Station but actually it's Wooster from Girl Genius.
jwhouk:
MARTEN: "Yeah, Danielle was really upset with Jeph for a long while after the last BTS special. But I understand Randy (Milholland, creator of Something Positive) talked her down about the whole thing."
FAYE: "It's a good thing. All the conventions were putting us right next to Hazel and Jamie, and Danielle kept giving us the stink-eye."
HANNERS: "That whole thing led to The Incident at TCAF in Toronto." (looks at camera) "I really still don't like talking about it."
NARRATOR: The infamous Toronto Incident nearly kept Jeph permanently banned from entering Canada - an incident he had only previously joked about with the character 'Jimbo' in the strip.
JEPH: "Randy managed to get things soothed over after that whole fiasco, and Danielle and I are back on speaking terms. (pause) I never really did figure out how that guy got so many dicksissels through security, though."
PENELOPE: "It really was a good thing, because I'd always liked doing cons with Danielle. I think I ended up going with Jeph to the next three in a row because of it. (smiles) That was how I got that side gig as the teacher on Supervillanous."
Ben:
FAYE..... oh, and it's not true that Sydney Scoville did the voice-over for CGI-May.
MAY (INTERRUPTING),,,, HAY-ULL, NO!!! Casting call was enough... She's crazy, man, and SWEAR?????
Zebediah:
This week, we're talking with Emily Azuma about her recent appearances in QC.
Emily: "Oh, it was so much fun! We wound up doing a lot of improv in that whole walk-in-the-woods scene. Samantha is great - she's a natural. That whole conversation where I was talking about how cute Marten is and she kept saying 'Ewww!' - that was all ad-libbed. No script, no rehearsal, we just went with it."
And that scene where Emily offers Marten a basket of mice?
Emily: (laughs) "Marten had no idea that was coming! We didn't get a script from Jeph for that scene, so I just told the costume and prop departments to come up with something wild and I'd work with it. Don't ask where they got the mice! Then we had a camera running when Marten walked in the door, and his reaction when he saw me was perfect!"
Do you do a lot of improv on the set?
Emily: "I do, yes. Not everybody does - Momo, for example, prefers to work with a script. But I love it. I did a lot of improv comedy before I got this gig, so Jeph lets me work that in whenever I can."
Now everybody's wondering: Where is this thing with you and Marten going?
Emily: "Hey, I'm wondering that too! Nobody knows but Jeph, and he's not telling. The way Jeph works, we often don't get the scripts until the day we shoot, so we don't know where the story is headed in the long run. But that's okay. I'll roll with whatever he throws at me."
