Queer As Folk 20th Anniversary Livestream YAY!!
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.
