Love the music. But I can't see any pictures. Are there supposed to be pictures? I save as target and everything.

Something's going down tonight! Something with the man!

Two by two. Hand of blue.

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words. I'm glad you all like it!!!

RIV,... it's saved in Windows Media 9 format, I dont know, perhaps you're using an older version? I cant think of what else could be wrong :(

One problem, Sargeant- the URL disappears and ther is nothing to right-click. Also, I am on a Mac.

Thanks for helping, though!

I don't think WMV files will play on a MAC.

This might help:

With Macintosh and IE, hold down the mouse button and click "Save Link To Disk"

And there is a WMP for Macs:

Here's a friendly MPEG version of the trailer.

Metro Man gave me permission to temporarily host this 20 MB Mpeg version of his fine video. Our mutual goal is to promote Firefly to residents of Earth before it got used up.

Many thanks are needed here: 1) Metroman for a rockin' trailer! I could only hear the .WMV version despite having VLC player (cross-platform a/v decoder for Macs and just about every other OS) until 'Tash (insert huge-mongous thanks no. 2) translated the file into mpg and made my night!

Thanks ever so much!

Wow! Great job! I thought it was excellent. The music overwhelmed the dialogue in a couple of places, but not badly. The editing was well-done. If I saw that, and had never seen the series I would be dying to see the film! Yay you!

That was awesome, it was extremely well done. I love the way you showed a little of Inara's skin scenes.
If I may make a few suggestions:
- Adding the CG scene in Serenity where they go to "full burn," and leave the Reavers behind in the shockwave generated from it, would certainly impress the uninitiated and the newbs.
- If you have access to the DVD boxed set then you could also add clips of the deleted scene after the "Battle of Serenity Valley" and possibly a sound bite of Zoë informing the Doctor about what happened after the battle and how both sides left them all there.
- How about a clip of Wash and one of his quotes? His question about "Yo-Saph-Bridge" in "Trash," or even better, his little "science fiction" in "Objects in Space" and Zoë’s reply? I laughed at them and they add the element of a little comic relief.

I know that this is long and I may be overstepping my bounds (as well as showing the full extent of my Geekieness), but I'm in a good mood and these all seem like good suggestions.

- For Jane, you could add the dinner scene from "Serenity" where Simon asks Mal what Jane's job is.
- For Kaylee, you could use the scene from "Out of Gas" where Mal and Zoë are talking about Wash and He makes reference to their new "genius mechanic" and then cut to something with Kaylee in it.
- What about a clip from "Heart of Gold" where that (I can't remember her name) Madame was talking to Mal about him not telling her the truth about Inara's feelings for him. Then you could cut to a scene with Inara, or something.
- Perhaps include a shot of an Alliance "Cruiser" when you have the sound bite of Wash announcing one's imminent arrival.

Note: In most navies, cruisers are usually lighter vessels. There are usually much larger and more powerful ships in the service than they (those of you who have experienced the stupendously well written "Honor Harrington" series of books by author David Weber, you will know what I'm talking about. This is a shameless plug for my favorite author of all time but, what FireFly is to Television, Honor Harrington is to books; except that Honor Harrington was recognized for the absolute genius it was and published by a faithful publishing company and not dumped in an red-fogged-vision-rage causing stupid decision by some equally stupid executive somewhere.)

I kinda' lost my train of thought but you know what I was talking about. Please note that these are just a few (dozen) thoughts I had.

Also, these suggestions would make any trailer require a pretty big chunk of time but I was thinking that the one you've got could be the teaser trailer, the pumped-up version that I'm suggesting could be the full-length trailer.

Just a thought. And I just noticed that you said that you were low on web space so you may just want to forget everything I just said (if you had time to read it all).

Wash: "... that sounds like science fiction."
Zoe: "You live in a space ship, dear."
