QC: Behind the Scenes

<< < (7/38) > >>

TinPenguin:
So the premise of this thread is that QC is being made in the world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and the cast are all "toons"? :-D

SHAME PRIDE ORB: The name change was really my idea. Yeah, Jeph took a lot of persuading, but as a well-known LGBT icon, I just didn't feel comfortable being associated with shame in such a high-profile series. Sends out totally the wrong message to young people. Plus, I really just wanted to get some colour into my role, you know? That old design was so drab. I definitely enjoyed getting to shock Yelling Bird - and let me tell you, that was all real. During that take he was blushing pinker than me!

Imagine VH-1 "Behind The Music", combined with E!'s "True Hollywood Stories" - and a touch of Monty Python.

THAT is what this thread is like.

PROGRAMMER: Don't get me wrong. I've got enormous respect for puppeteers; all the robotics and electrical engineering. But special effects evolve all the time: like the stop-motion special effects artists, Ray Harryhausen or something, collaborating with the CGI artists in Jurassic Park. And of course, CGI is everywhere now: movies, commercials, TV series. So introducing characters like Spaceship and Station was, in a sense, inevitable, even for a webcomic. I don't think it'll be a regular gig, though: the outer space arc was an exception, not the rule. Maybe the occasional holopony gag, but that's about it. What? Me? No, Jeph put that in there, I'm not a "brony".

Carl-E:
Too much of this is starting to sound like canon...

Hannerdad:  I'd done sci-fi for years, mostly in suits, though.  It's the one advantage of being small-framed in Hollywood.  I was one of the bigger Ferengi in the TNG series, and I'd done a few movies, mainly playing monsters.  I was in Aliens, and I've played more greys than I can shake a stick at;  X-files, Unexplained Mysteries, half a dozen movies.  But with CGI and all, I've been in semi-retirement for nearly ten years.  I own a costume rental place, now, and do the occasional con. 

But Jeph talked me into coming back into the business.  It's been a real thrill, being able to have my face showing, using my own voice, not having to deal with latex.  And basically, Jeph was able to cast an incredibly experienced unknown in a pivotal role.  He likes using unknowns, but the ability to spout scientific gobbledygook and sound like I knew what I was talking about was a plus.  It's been a blast, working with all these kids, too.  And who would have thought Cosette would have been one of my biggest fans?  She knew all my old work. 

Actually, it was a little creepy, and I'm glad I wasn't on-set with her.

MIEVILLE: There's a reason I haven't been around much - Dora really hates cats, can't stand us. But somebody decided she was an ex-goth, had to have a black cat. Either that or the guy just hated Dora because she shot him down, and decided to get even by sticking her with me. I had a few great moments - that shot of me chasing a moth to block Tai's breasts is my favorite - and Pintsize and Winslow were fun to work with. They're great at physical comedy. Hannelore was my favorite of the humans - she really does love her some "kitties." But right now, I make more money from doing those psychedelic Friskies ads. I wouldn't mind coming back owned by one of the other characters.

yes, I was stretching to find somebody who hadn't spoken yet
