Good morning folks.

Just adding to Hera's post that I'm pretty excited about this idea. This is our chance as fans to show our stuff and make ads ( in a way!) that will be seen by potentially thousands of people. Linking to them thru the proposed myspace accounts will be awesome, there are so many people on myspace. Browncoat's waiting to be born. Youtube is so popular it's featured in Entertainment Weekly as THE place to view stuff.
Think of how much potential exposure we're gonna have.

For some ideas on how this might work and some very clever ideas in their own right check out this thread....

Now, of course you won't be scripting these "ads" for our BDH's, you'd be using footage from the series just like all vid-ers do. But think of the possibilities there will be. To make things that are funny, and touching that will make folks who have never seen Firefly before want to see it! That is the challenge of this contest.

The voting method will be most likely by a jury from FFF.net, and the winning entries will then be posted to youtube, to then be posted via the Firefly myspace page at a later date.

So come on everyone.. think what you'd like to say about our beloved show and lets do it better than F*X did!

I'm resurrecting this thread, because I've seen some comments on the SSC thread that pertain to making ads.

These vids are ads....this is what we need folks...vids that intrigue..that are out of the ordinary from the regular fan approach. Something that will catch the eye of non-flans.
Think of the last commercial or ad that you saw that made you go "Huh?!" just like Mal when he sees River in the box for the first time. It made you want to know more about why River was in the box... well, that is what we want.. we want ads that make folks say "Huh?" and want to know more.

We have so many talented people on this board... I just know if we put our minds to it, we can find a way to make regular -everyday -walking- thru -life -with- no- clue- about- Firefly- folks see this show!

We can spread these vids all across the web with youtube and myspace. We will have Firefly and Serenity cropping up everywhere. C'mon folks, let's get to thinkin'.

Did I mention that there will be a prize! A PRIZE!
Really!!

I understand that you want trailers, (which, by the way, I think is a great idea) but I was wondering if some kind of contest could be made for music videos as well. There are many talented editors out there, and I think that attaching music to any media helps with recognition. If people can link Firefly with music they like, it might create more converts.

Ohhhh! I missed this the first time around. WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I'd love to try my hand at this.

One question though... You stated a length for the vids (1 to 3 minutes), but nowhere is a standard size mentioned. Anyone got an idea on that?

I'll have some time this week to work on something and see what I can put together. I've already got a few ideas (SIMON: "That man is psychotic!" WASH: "Mal, you are psychotic!") that I'd like to play with.

Let's see if folks with ideas and folks with the know how and equipment could maybe join forces?

I kinda disappoint in both those departments, but I know we have lots of shiny folks here who are good at this sort of stuff and good at collaborating!
