Hi gang. This is my first post on these boards. I just wanted to drop a link to a video I threw together this afternoon. I hope you like it.

link does not work.

Edit.

It didn't work the first time but now it's fine. Excellent job.

You should do one for Kaylee and Simon too.

Sorry. :( Ourmedia.org has been flaky lately. I just tried the link again and it seemed to work for me. Thanks for giving it a look. :)

The video doesn't load on the site itself but when "link" is clicked the file opened into its own player and worked fine.

Jaron95, excellent work. I loved it. Can't wait to watch any others that you do.

Jaron95,

Very good job.. I really liked it. I know there is only so much you can do when pieceing together existing footage.

I especially liked the transitions to sepia tone effect. Simple but effective. And Mal and Inara's story fit the song very well. If this was intercut with video of the band playing this song in a Firefly setting... like one of the dive bars they go to, it would but just as good as most movie/song videos you see out there. Of course that would be "typical", I know there is more creative/interesting ways it could be done, but would require a lot more time/effort/money.

But overall.. great job.. especially for how quickly you put it together.. I would really like to see what you would do with more time..

Actually the more I watch it.. the more I like it.. even the song... It's very tragic and beautiful..

Smaug..

Here's an alternate link. This one should work. Sorry for the trouble... I'm really not this bad at the Internet. ;) It's all Ourmedia's fault!

Oh, applause, applause, deafening applause. God I love the angst. ;) I quite enjoyed this, in caes you couldn't tell. Lovely choice of shots (especially the shot of Mal pushing her away, from the pilot, in conjunction with the line "if you're so strong, you might as well just do it alone." That was my fave.), beautiful use of sepia toning.

Anywho, loved it.
