I can't get this link to work, or even access any of Strangefinger's other videos.

Am I missing something?

Can't seem to see the vid myself so if anyone else is hosting it, please point the way, after those rave reviews can't wait to get a ogle...

course now i'm right sheepish about asking what i was gonna ask y'all before find this here thread.



Just finished my first firefly fanvid ( second fanvid ever, first was a stargate one ) and wanted to know if

A) anyone would be willing to host the thing

B) more importantly, anyone know a way to shrink the file size a bit? using divx codec i can pack the thing down to 67 megs at 720*480 size. dropping down to 360*240 only slims it down to 54meg. I know there's a way to get this smaller without (overly) sacrificing quality but gorram'd if i can find it.

Anyway, thanks for any potential help you all might have to offer and I still want a gander at this her Vid

I'm sad to say my site is down indefinitely. I'm looking into new hosting.

TragicStory,
I am dying to see this vid now (after all the great reviews). I haven't seen very many Firefly vids that I really like....so, please someone else host it, for me?

Hey Tash, I was really sad to hear about your site, I visit every now and again to check out new stuff, good luck with gettin' it going again.

Oh, and GORAMSHINY, I look forward to being able to see yours, I hope someone can host it for you.

Well i managed to squeeze my vid down to a 7+mb wmv file and even found a host... of sorts. ( love my mac ) on the free trial .mac account i got with my shiny new G5.

Only problem is, everytime i upload the file to the account it get's binhex'ed and nothing i do seems to stop it.

Driving me nuts.

Other then that... no luck finding a host and i'm still waiting to hear on the other vid. Really want to see that one.

TragicStory, that vid is beautiful!! It did make me a tad weepy.

Really nice way to add something to the story.

OK, I like the vid and the music and I too would like to know the source of the music.. but it seems that others have asked and I do not see an answer for it.. Did the answer get deleted perhaps?

The Journey is the worthier part.

OK it took some searching, but for those still wanting to know who did the music on the vid..
It is Johnny Horton.


Be well :)

I've searched Johnny Horton's catalog and I can't find it. If you think you've sourced it, can you provide a link?

If we're talking about the same "Johnny Horton", he died in 1960. This sounds like a much more recent recording with higher production values.

Is Tragic Story still active here? Can he provide us with the information on this music? I find it to be particularly well done, and like others I would like to acquire it.

Kudos on the video work as well.
