I'm a Machead. If you want to go for this I will buy the hardware and software we need (never need an excuse to give Apple more money.)
Script editor is IMHO the most important job. They are the ones that make the series consistant. We would also need someone able to compose music.

You can do basic editing using iMovie and iDVD if it comes down to it. I love my Mac and make a movie every year for my friends and family.

So, at this point has any real decision been made about what story/ script will be used, or where this all will be filmed, or if it is even going to happen?
I will personally do anything to help, and I would love to be as involved as I can. Wheter that means I get the part of the querky new Wash-esque pilot, or I go and get everyone coffe, I just want to help.

Ok... WOW!!! Since I've been gone this has gotten alot of attention. Where to start?
Ok.... since it seems there is a lot of people looking to go for another crew than I think that would a good Idea.... I've been running my brain ragged the last couple hours on script ideas.
We will need Scriptwriters: I want at least three if possible [they can be anywhere... email is a wonderful thing]. I want this many at least to proofread and collaborate on it, since three heads are better than one.
CG artists: As many as want to join.... we will delegate the jobs accordingly and they can collaborate with each other. I hope that people are willing to share models and textures.
We need actors: As many as the script needs. This includes extras.
Director: I would gladly stand down from position if there is someone that is in a position to get more people, or if the actors and crew are more numerous in one area.
Composer: Definitely need one, or just use the soundtrack, but I find that kinda tacty [oh well].
Anything I forgot?
I have started writing a script already. I'm picturing a two-hour pilot, but I really doubt that I will get that long.
Maybe only an hour, but when I get done with it maybe someone can look it over and critique it. Eventually we'll have a top notch script that a someone can use to make this thing.
Everyone that can help please post what you can do and where you hail from. That way I can start a list and start making this thing happen.
Please just make it what you can do and where you're from. After the list is made I'll start grabbing ideas from people and see what comes out.
This is something that I wasn't even sure would get a response. This is cool.
Browntrouser: I love your idea and will definitely be expanding on it if you don't mind.

Script editor if you want to do more than one.
What I would suggest is to get someone to be the script editor and have that person write a small show Bible, basically just detailing who the new BDH's are any worlds we haven't visited and any changes to the world (ie if we do a "prequel" who was the fixer before Badger, what is the state of the 'Verse just after the war.
I then suggest asking for scripts or plot ideas and use the best ones. Oh and perhaps not maping the new crew too closely to the BDH's...... maybe a pilot that drinks, rather than one that is just wild and crazy. Since Companions and Shepards are rare on ships maybe if we have those characters at all we put them someplace rather than as part of the crew.
One idea I did have. Haven seems to have been well established by the time book got there (that wasn't the work of 8 months) so perhaps it has always been a safe place for folks on the run or hiding out? An early "proto Haven" would be a better place to use as a base of operation than somewhere like Whitefall were we could never build a big enough set.

Hi Everyone!! I'm a new fan that missed the movie in theatres (I KNOW!!)I ignored my bfs plead to go with him to see the movie (he described as space cowboy movie!?)If only he had mentioned Sean Maher or Jewel Staite(flash forward<3lol)OR said that it was the "ultimate Shiznit!!"
Anywayza a couple weeks ago I saw my 1st episode on Sci Fi (I told my b-f and he was pissed "this is what i've been trying to show u for the past gorram year!
(whoopsO) He also thinks I "look exactly like Jewel StaIte only blonder and hotter"(ur like RIhiiiite Ill be da judge-o-dat... tell me how to put a pic up n I will!;))
I know hotter impossible!! She's just such a natural beauty (i saw Jewel on x files when she was like 13? WTF what happend to looking akward and plain ugly when ur that age?!Geezuss!!)
-->Getting to the point I love the idea of the fans making our own Firefly movie with a new cast!!Im offering my services!! I've been an actress for a while now. I just moved from Mejico City where I had a small part in an Azteca tv telenovela! I am now going to castings for telenovelas here in Miami. I might
be Spanish but I dont have an accent when speakin English or anything. I always thought that the crew needed a BLONDEsexy kitten !! (or the new crew!)
ANY1 AGREE?? Holla Back! ;)
Naked Mal: Yup... that went well
(1st snippet of Firefly I ever saw!! What a SHINNY way to start it Off!)
Break me Off a piece of dat (drooling over Shirtless Maher) Grr Baby Grr!!

I might write a script, how many pages (roughly)? If not, I will at least try to come up with some characters bios and whatnot.
sound good?

Remember guys, we should keep in contact!
I would also love to keep updated as to how the scrip\character creation process is going, so it would be great if you could post somekind of update as to how everything was going every now and then.

Ok. I might as well list what i consider myself to be able to do:
I can help with the script, if you want. Just email me (head_cheif-at-yahoo-dot-com).
I can help with editing. Edited a few movies before, so if you need any help in that area just ask.
I can help with CGI, although i am no expert. I cannot texture to save my life, either. I could provide some models though, and i can do some pretty good CGI desert shots. For example, flying over a grand canyon sort of thing. However, i canot texture. I would'nt trust me to do anything that would pass the "camera" to close. In fact i've already got some CGI 3d models lying around that i made, a few of which you could use in some of the "Core City" shots, such as buildings and little crafts (including a mobile "Blue Sun" Advertising vessel).
I could do CGI animatics - a kind of rough composite of what the final effect shot would look like. Perfect to visualise a shot before it is completed, (and a great fill-in for the editor).
I would love to help with the filming, but as previously mentioned i am in the UK. Maybe, If there are a lot of UK'ers interested, we could do some "Second Unit" stuff. I dunno.
Anyway, in other words, i would love to help in as many ways possible!
