As you may have seen elsewhere, I'm looking to put together a DVD of all the video footage not available from any retail source. (So, no, I'm not going to put extras from different countries DVDs on it, you could order them online if you wanted). Also certain conventions forbid their talks being redistributed and I think we should respect that. The San Diego ComicCon one should be all right though as that was hosted here for a long long time.

This is a list of everything I currently have:

All the mov files from the original Fox Website (some are very poor quality files so we'll have to see about those)
The full length gag reel (VHS quality)
The ComicCon Footage
The three featurettes that were on the sampler DVD that came with BSG (no longer available AFAIK so therefore valid)
Serenity winning Film of the Year on Film 2005
The trailers
Adam Baldwin on Whatever (a kids show) promoting Serenity
An interview with Summer Glau on the red carpet
The River Tam Sessions (I See You!)

Right, that's my lot. If anyone has any suitable material that they know of, even if they don't have it, please post here. If you've done a Firefly/Serenity music video and would like it to be on the disc, please please please say so here; there have been some great ones but I'm not going to put things up with the maker's permission.

I'll collate for a month or so then put the disc together, hopefully in time for the Summer of Serenity kickoff. I'll make a reasonably large number of copies then distribute them to strategic points to hopefully allow many more to get hold of the disc - Browncoats with DVD burners, I'm going to be relying on you! This disc is for the fans, not to be sold on eBay, so let me know what we want on it.

Over to you guys!

Well there was a Serenity disc that was given away with a dvd mag (might have been DVD monthly, but I'd have to check to make sure)
Most of it was the usual promo featurettes that were available on the Official Site, and also some clips and trailers. But interestingly it had some B-Roll footage which I didn't see anywhere else.

I've got the disc (though for some reason, it freezes at the end of the B Roll - dont know if its a faulty disc I've got, or if all the discs are the same - or maybe just my player)
But that could be put on as an interesting extra... if it's legal that is

How about the unaired original cut of Serenity (the pilot)?

There are a lot of different trailers on Youtube that you could include. Also, I had seen a video item put together that involved Joss talking of the tv series Firefly that was then followed up with Serenity. It was probably about 3 minutes long, and was shown at the theaters in the pre-show commercials and such.

Also, there was an episode of "Sci Fi Inside" on the behind the scenes of Serenity. I recorded it via my Media Center-edition computer, which resulted in a 1.3 GB file with a .dvr-ms extension that plays in Windows Media. (Gave you the specifics in case there is some way I can convert it and get it to you.)

You might want to check and see what Jeremy and Brian are putting on their extra discs. www.donetheimpossible.com. They've done a fan "celebration" of Firefly and have lots of extras, including Con panels. Duplication of effort seems wasteful but if you've got stuff they ain't got, then SHINY!


I aim to misbehave!

Is this massively different from the DVD version?

Thanks very much for the link though, anything Firefly is excellent.
