Hi :) I'm slowly working my way through making a vid a character and it's Serenity this time.

You can find it at http://www.alter-idem.com/?now=2&category=Firefly&id=57

Me likey. Very shiny.
Great, smooth transitions, wonderful timing. Nice ending.
Only problem is the audio clips; they didn't sample very well er something. A bit tinny I guess, and clipped.

I don't make the rules; I just break them.

It's stunning! Everyone - you have to watch this!!

Love the shots of the cast at the end, really well done.

"Why would I want to leave Serenity?"
"Can't think of a reason."

Over 100 Serenity screencaps now available at www.destinything.com (yep, bought me a proper name!)

Oh my god, that was beautiful. The music is incredible, and I love the timing. Only the fight scenes kinda take me out of the mood, but maybe that's just me. Regardless- it brought tears to my eyes. You did an amazing job.

Wow!

Uh

Wow!

and

Yay! a non-lyrical vid, woot! (love Adiemus to boot)

the rush at the beginning and end is awesome. The editing is just superb for the first minute and a half.

I do have a big BUT coming: between about 1:30 and 2:30 the vid loses me. I know the music changes, and the editing style follows suit, but I got a little lost on what you were saying.

It's a vid about Serenity, right? So we go through characters in danger, and then the crew turning against each other, and even take a trip to the valley. But not much in the way of Serenity. I'm not sure what that detour was about.

But the end picks back up with the rush and the awesome editing and actual clips of Serenity, and it makes me feel just all warm and fuzzy. Love you showing where everyone came from and where they are now in coupled clips, beautiful.

But that middle section is kinda meh.

Anyhoo, awesome vid besides that, great choice of music.

*watches again*

oh, and cuz I can't keep my mouth shut:

one of my fave parts is River playing jacks and you bamming it right to Book picking up the ball. Awesome. Brilliant.

Loved the pulsing transitions between shots of the ship still and rushing through her innards.

I think I'd almost try to bookend the vid more in that fashion. Looks like your software can play clips backwards, I wonder what that would look like?

One nitpick for the very beginning: it seems like River's eyes should open a mite sooner. They're opening on the fade into the next scene, which loses the beat and the impact.

Okay, shutting up now (unless, of course you don't want me to, but that's just crazy talk :P)
