No worries BountyBoy56! I can't wait till yer scanner gets repaired and you post yer drawing.

I have sat down and paused shows and spent a looong time doing the same thing as you did before I got my DVD drive for my comp.

Doing screencaps REALLY helps out when observing and replicating props, costumes, ship layout etc.

I really like working in tandem with others. I had hoped I had not waded in with my size 10s and mashed anybody's toes. I especally didn't want to tromp on ManiacNumberOne talented toes.

Tiz good to know that others feel that us Independents gotta stick together!

{EDIT}
I just had an idea ... anybody have a current version of a 3D floorplan program?

We could do the deck plans on the program and, with the right type of floorplan program, you can do a virtual tour of the Serenity!

I have a floor plan on my HD, not sure where I found it, but it looks pretty good. If anyone has a way of posting it on the 'net and then linking to it, gimme your email and I'll send you a copy.

Early: You ever been raped, Kaylee?
Kaylee: You know, it's funny you should mention that... ever heard of the Fox network?

OK, just went back and looked thru "Serenity". Joss explains the missing couch area just as Mal is making the rendezvous with Patience on the vid-screen. He says they were in front of Wash's consoles but he removed them because he wanted the bridge to be about business and there was plenty of couch space on board already.

Also noticed a few more unexplained doors. There is one straight across from the infirmary as Book enters after Mal plays his psychotic trick on Simon. One in the kitchen (pantry?). A safe type door on the bridge. And a ladder at the back of the passenger's dorm that goes up to a door in the ceiling.

Also noticed that the set changed somewhat during shooting. When Book goes to warn the lawman that he's in danger and gets cracked over the head (no good deed goes unpunished ) I count only three bedroom doors on the wall. But there are four per side in other shots. And in the same scene the rear wall (with ladder) seems reversed. The black hose thing hanging on it is on the wrong side.

And when Wash and Kaylee trapped the thugs in the back hall (Heart of Gold) there is indeed an exit door in that hall. Wash was hiding there before running into the engine room. He must have locked it somehow so the thugs couldn't get out. It was closed.

edit: Oops, almost forgot. In one of the CGI scenes there is an exterior door just in front of Inara's shuttle. Dont know how it fits with the interior layout of the ship.

Well mucho thanks to Haplo781 we have the floorplans of the sets from Firefly.

Looking at them you'll see why I think they are the prelim. floorplan, or blocking planner.

With no further ado ...

Interesting. I didn't think the passenger dorm was set up like that. Thought it went straight back with rooms on either side.

You can sorta notice it in Anara follow in ... gallramit ... can't remember the epi.

Anyhoo, she walks from the infirmary, up the fwd stairs into the cargo bay and up the fwd-stbd stairs - I think.

You can sorta see that the infirmary is at a sort weird angle in respect to the dorms. It was probably set up that way to match the curve of the Firefly's 'behind'.

I thought that ity went striaght back as well but there is one ep where Mal looks two directions into what could only be passenger quarters

I've been working on the deck plans as well.

Here is the side view I've got so far.

This is in response to the digarm that Captainrahn posted -

Great diagram, thanks for posting it.

One error I noticed though is in the passenger areas. If you look at the rooms 6, 7, and 8 there should be one more room down that corridor.

Starting down that corridor is River to the left and Simon to the right. Then there is a ramp/stairs up just a couple of feet and then there are two more doors to the left and right.
