Great question! And great answers! I'm looking forward to working with all of you guys.
Let's see, what could I contribute? Well, the answer to that question is a little more complex than it needs to be. You seen, I have a driving creative impulse. I enjoy all the arts very much, but I'm most adept at music. My mother is a retired music teacher and I majored in that for three years in college, so I know my stuff. The problem is, and was, I'm not very good. Just adequately OK. The same is true for writing, painting, photography, sculpture, and all the other arts out there. So I have this problem: driving need ot create, no outlet. So, how is this relevant? (For the record, I'm a Gemini. I usually put absolutely no stock in that stuff, but for some reason it fits me to a T, go figure.)
That being said, I think I'd enjoy being an assistant producer. I know that's a lot of power, but I'm good at adding on ideas. I can't come up with them on my own to save my life, but I can improve things other people have come up with pretty well. I promise I won't let the power go to my head.

Milford,Assistant producer,to do it well would take talent an skill like any other part of a Firefly project. If thats what you're good at then GREAT!
There are people that are excellent hands at organization and without them,nomatter how creative others are the production just wouldn't get done.

Thanks for tne encouragement Z, much obliged. Great discussion by the way. I know when we're all rich and famous from our work on the record setting fifteenth year of the most beloved series on TV, we'll look back on all this and laugh. Laugh with big pockets full of gold.

As one of the more 'creative' and less organized people, I can second zzetta13 there. Some of us need someone looking over our shoulders with a cat o' nine-tails to keep us on track
Not to mention that another viewpoint often does wonders. (Interesting fact: The artist never 'sees' their own work the same way as the audience. That pesky human brain tends to add and superimpose stuff that isn't really there. Ask someone to look at something they drew years ago, and they'll often be suprised by what they see :)Anyways, great thread. To add a more 'serious' job-title to my previous post, I'd love to be able to do some storyboards for Firefly. Though 'Best Boy' or 'Key Grip' has a certain appeal, maybe I could moonlight as both. (Whaddaya mean I can't do my sketches in the ladies' dressing rooms? This is where I do my best work. I find it... inspiring. Hey, who called security again? :)

NUCLEARDAY, I'd love to see some of your work.
Here is a site that I've posted some artwork on.
Mind you that there is what I consider some tasteful nudity so children should sail clear. It isn't bad stuff, I just wanted to give some caution.
Most of it's si/fi fantasy related.But there are other art works. Good or bad if you care to drop me a line and tell what you think.

Does Nathan get a fluffer, 'cause I'll do that for free. Or any of the other men, actually. Oh, what the hell, the women too.
Where are all i the unattractive chubby people? Core planets I suppose.

That's hilarious. I think storyboards are great. That's one problem I always had in art class, I could never draw anything with perspective. Everything looked like it was in the same spot. That would be great.
By the way, Z, I tried to look up your artwork but the link was down because too many people were looking at it. I'd say that's a good sign.
