Tampa, my good friend.

I trust you are a resident of the Sunshine state.

So you're a bounty hunter.
No, that ain't it at all.
Then what are you?
I'm a bounty hunter.

ImEarly...I fired off an e-mail to the folks at DragonCon, just for the hell of it. I didn't recommend any particular fanvid at this time, cause I didn't want them thinking I was just trying to pitch my own (or a friend's) work on them. Having gone to a grand total of 1 DragonCon, I'm still a novice in the way of..well, anything connected to such things.

I’m afraid you have me at a disadvantage, I have never been to any Conventions, and I know nothing about DragonCon, I was contacted by an event coordinator who will be at I-Con in Long Island, New York. I couldn’t tell you if there will be Fan Vids at other Conventions, but let me know if they will be accepting entries?

I do however believe that most videos out there need to be reevaluated. Most come from low quality versions of our favorite show. When these videos are compressed even further, their quality is degraded so badly it makes me sad.

I have made, several AMV’s and Serenity, I am working on a second video for Firefly now, but I will tell you this.

If you are going to make a Video of any fashion...

USE VOBS!!!

That’s DVD Folks.

This site was incredible! I just discovered "Firefly" this weekend and am amazed at how much other fans have created.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi!
I would really be interested in learning how to make videos. I'm sooo impressed with what others have done. However, I know next to nothing about it. Is VOBS a software program to burn DVDs? Also, are most people burning their original DVDs onto their hard drives and then cutting clips from them? Any advice would be really appreciated! It'd give me something to do here in Korea

Trying to figure out the signature block...pardon the new guy.

Well maybe I'm not a fancy gentleman like you, with your...very fine hat. But I do business...we're here for business.

Vob, is DVD, these are the files that are hidden within your disk(s)

Sadly no, most people are using rips that they downloaded from the internet to make their videos.

If you plan to make Fan Vid's I suggest you rip the DVD's you own to your HD and then get started. Mine is an example of this. It's bigger then most you'll find, but it is worth the quality.

If you haven’t Downloaded my Video then do so now, it is Called Serenity and is located here...

Making decent quality videos is an art and it takes some time to get there, try this link to get you started, it's for AMV's mind you, but it will get you started in the right direction...

If this is too complicated, then feel free to E-mail me with any questions, my E-mail address is posted somewhere on this post, or you can grab it from the end of my Fan Vid.

Since this is a tutorial for AMV's I can also upload a few of my projects for you. Just say the word.

Also, what editing program will you use? I use Adobe Premiere 6.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro.
I also have experience with Photoshop, and After Effects. When I first started I used Movie Maker 2.0 which is freeware. If you are a Mac user I can point you in the right direction.

Using DVDs as source material for vids is fine, but you do have to remember that there are shows that are being vidded that aren't available on DVD just yet. TV rips are the only source for clips. When I started doing Firefly vids, those rips were the only way to go since the DVD set was not yet released. One of these days I'll go back and remaster the lot of them when I have the time.
