I don't post much lately, but if you want to see my locked posts, comment to be friended. I'm curious to know how you found my LJ, and what your interests are.

I continue to re-upload Kitze Productions vids. Most of them can now be found on the kitzeproductions YouTube channel. They are all listed on the kitzeproductions AO3. There are a few locked on AO3 which aren't on YouTube, for various reasons, so definitely make sure you're logged in to AO3 if you want to see them.

This afternoon it was so fun to see so many of the QaF cast coming together for this fundraiser! Video Link! It ended up being over 4 hours long and so full of wonderful people and conversations!


Hal was chatting in the live chat the whole time.

Highlights / things I learned:
- There were 3 different Babylons. The Location changed over time.
- People are nuts over Randy Harrison. They were just asking for him constantly. But he didn't arrive until like 2 1/2 hours into it. LOL.

- Randy is NOT a Brian and Justin shipper. His dream is for Justin to settle down with a nice guy in the suburbs. Oh, Randy I love your honesty. But it's not what we want to hear, so people need to stop asking him where Brian and Justin would be today. Same thing with the "what's your favorite scene" question. We all know it's the prom dance. Why not ask, "What was your favorite Justin haircut?" Just an idea. :)
- Hal said that at first Michael felt toward Hunter the same way he'd feel toward a squirrel in the house. I am a fan of analogies so I liked this a lot.
- Speaking of Hunter, Harris was only like 17 when he started on the show.
- Harris sang us an original song. It was very emotional.
- Hal said in a comment that today Michael would be still running his comic shop and maybe the local Comic-Con. (Some of you writers got it correct it seems!)
- One of Hal's favorite memories of the show was Sharon learning to hit him.
- One of Robert's favorite moments was the needle scene.
- One of Harris's favorite scenes was his reverse-coming out scene.
- It was so sweet to see Scott get all choked up. <3
- We should all watch Adoptable.

I asked awesome cameraman Sean Jensen about how he filmed those spinning scenes and he responded!:

I had no idea that was all done by hand. I was always looking around trying to find some track onto which they had attached the camera so it would go around and around. I had no idea poor Sean was running circles around them the whole time! Heehe. Sean you are amazing.

QaF fans, it's time to sign up for the Queer as Folk Holiday Gift Exchange! Sign ups close on November 1st.

OMG, QaF isn't on Netflix anymore! Oh no!
Good thing I have my DVDs, but it was so convenient to watch the random episode or scene when it was streaming. And what about all the new fans? If there really is a reboot coming, surely that will bring fresh interest in the original show.
Maybe they will bring it back again later?? :-/

Shortly after I finished Despacito, I received a request to make a vid to Aftermath by Lifehouse. The song fit for me, so I said yes. It was also a chance to collaborate in some way, which I love.

This is a companion vid to the final part of TrueIllusion's fanfic series, Familiarity, which can be found on AO3, Kinnetik Dreams, or Midnight Whispers. (This vid appears at the end of Chapter 3 of the final part.) The theme of her fic matches closely with this song. The vid deals with past struggles, while the fic deals with future ones. If you like some major hurt/comfort, this fic and vid are for you.

Aftermath
Song by Lifehouse
Vidder: Wendy

( More rambles about vidding which I care about but probably nobody else cares aboutCollapse )

Here's another new one, for you faithful QaF fans.

Come On Get Higher
Justin wants Brian. This will involve faith, desire and love.
All seasons, mostly 2-5
Song by Matt Nathanson
Vidder: Wendy

This is not the vid I was planning to make next, at all. I heard this song so many times and dismissed it, probably because I'm always thinking in Brian's POV. When I finally realized this song was Justin's POV, everything just fell into place. I've been wanting to make an all-season Justin POV vid for a long time, but never found the right song until now.

( So here you go. Enjoy!Collapse )

I have more serious vids planned for the future, but I feel like making something funny next. So if you have any silly off-the-wall ridiculous song suggestions, please let me know in the comments.

I posted this on YouTube and AO3 last night, but here it is for anyone still lingering on LJ.

I have officially started vidding again, and YES, QaF. It really is my favorite, so why fight it?

You Make Me Smile
Summary: What exactly does Brian love about Justin?
( Video and more under the cutCollapse )

What's left of my flist: Hi, please help.
I am vidding again, and am looking for someone who can beta my vids. I also need technical advice, but either/or is fine. Please comment below if you can help me with either one of these:
Technical: I need advice / a mentor for Adobe Premiere Pro, and HD quality video settings.
Beta: I need someone to watch my vids-in-progress and discuss the parts which need a little work. Give me some ideas, make sure I'm sticking to the point and, most importantly, share my excitement, because I am so excited, so so excited. If you are (still) into QaF, and interested in viewing and discussing my VIPs, then please let me know and, as Brian would say, "You can start, immediately."

I continue to re-upload Kitze Productions vids. Many of them can now be found on the kitzeproductions YouTube channel. I am also starting to list them on the new kitzeproductions AO3.

To say this has been a nice trip down memory lane would be an understatement. There's just something about fandom that's unlike anything else!

OK, I'm off to read some more Brian/Justin post-513 fic now. In this one, approx 34-year-old Justin has a baby (realistically), is raising it with Brian, and it's just so darn sweet I could die.

I have created a new YouTube channel for my Kitze Productions vids, since the website is now gone.

Only Blank is on there so far, but I'm planning to add more soon. Subscribe if you would like!

You people have been up to some really awesome stuff while I was gone.

I am just looking at archiveofourown.org for the first time, and I am amazed by how awesome it is! A central location to archive fan works? I am so excited right now...! (The FAQ is really helpful, too, as I am trying to determine where to re-upload all of my vids.)

...And... wow! There is a vidders.net now? I see you need a membership, but $20 a year is way cheaper than what I was paying for my site before. Speaking of that, what do you all prefer to use? I see livejournal also allows you to upload vids, now, but there's very limited space.

I haven't been around here much in the last 5 years, because I have been pretty busy in RL. (Got married, had a baby, etc.)  Lately things in RL have been slowing down a bit, and I finally feel like I have some space in my life for fandom again!

I've gone through and trimmed my friends list down to just names I recognise. I'm really interested to see what people have been up to.

What fandoms are you all into lately? I have been watching some shows (Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead)  but am looking for more. Does anyone have any recommendations?

We have decided to shut down kitzeproductions.net. It's been quite awhile since f1renze or I has made any vids, and it doesn't pay for us to maintain the site any longer. The site will be available until 2/16/2015, if anyone wants to grab a copy of any of our vids before then.

I just watched Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars for the fist time. HOLY CRAP. ( Cutting for anyone who has not seen it.Collapse )

ETA: No spoilers, please!

Thank you to everyone who has given me a virtual gift lately! I have no idea what prompted this, but it's very sweet.

*hugs*
