Hehe Nimitz, Are you a real treecat? :)
I have to agree with you about Honor Harrington series of books, I just finished the last one and they were great!
Erm. dunno about the Firefly video about to download now.

Thank you so much, Tash! That was awesome! It was shiny. Thank you so much, Tash, again! Well, I think I'll be off, for now.
Keep flyin'!

Wow Metroman! That was really cool. Loved the music. This makes me itch to see an actual trailer the next time I go catch a movie. 
Glad to see the Captain approves. It's always good to see him or Adam post at the boards.

Now had that been the trailer Fox used to promote the show ratings would have been through the roof. Good job.

That's really it, isn't it? If the Fawks trailer had told the truth, so to speak, instead of torturing the material into its narrow bottom-of-market target, which the show wasn't, of course, the broadcaster might very well be sitting on a hit show with huge potential earnings.
But I also ask: How could anyone not be interested in a show such as portrayed in the Metroman trailer? It has everything going for it, including scenes that covered the needs of the loin-brained and bullet-brained (not that I'm immune . . . heh heh).

Man.. that is some excellent work. Truly. In fact, I just barely registered just so I could comment because I was so impressed.
I only have 2 minor suggestions, and none have to do with the scenes selected for the trailer.
The "in a future... torn apart... " etc. It's slightly cliched. So one thing I thought that might tweak the cliche a little (and isn't that what Joss is all about anyway?) would be to change the torn apart to "forced together" or something similar. Because isn't that how the war actually went?
The galaxy ISn't divided or torn apart. It's forced unification. The totalitarian regime is called the "Alliance" - a sci-fi stereotype so perfectly turned inside out in this show. In almost every other sci-fi show, the Federation or the Alliance is a sign of good.
So I think it would pack more punch, and be more in keeping with what's actually happening to reflect that cliche reversal in the trailer.
Secondly.. The "one man" part just doesn't seem to fit given that he's leading a whole crew of rag tag outlaws and travellers and fugitives on the fringes of space. One man doesn't keep flying. The whole crew does.
And, again, the one man term is just so cliche.
But honestly.. I hope I don't come off as being too negative or cynical... because I loved this clip a lot.
THank you for sharing.

While I still can't see the pictures. 
I have found myself listening to this thing nearly everyday. You really did a wonderful job and I look farward (and hope)to see more of these.
