I have formidable video editing skills, but currently suffer from a lack of access to video editing software. If I were using my computer right now, instead of my mom's I would just download one, but... maybe when school starts up.
Until then... gif trailers?
Here's one for Simon, based on of the TBS LOTRs commercials. It is totally about to become my non-firefly messageboards sig:
And, a silly one for Jayne's town. Only my brain can take credit for its possibly not funniness:
I will probably make more for my own personal enjoyment. If you like these, I'll keep putting them here.

One more, because I never was one who could resist playing with a new toy. This time, less of me trying to be funny... in fact, none of that. Simon and River do have the most compelling relationship, imo.

Well... here is one more than. Except now I need to go fix it, because I just notice I used the wrong "there". Grr.
Also, I adjust the timing and the text on the Jaynestown gif and the It Sucks to be Simon gif.
I'll keep them all together, here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v206/KMF/Firefly/
hmm... maybe I'll put the latter link in a blog or something later today. hmm.

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?
Hey there PaganPaul! Sorry took so long to write you back here.
I, unfortunately, have no clue about vid sizes. Can you check out and see if you can grok any specs from what's posted there? The quality varies widely from vid to vid, so the site may not have size requirements that are very strict. I'm thinking about 35MB? That seems to be the size of most vids I download for my own use.
Waddya think?

Windows Movie Maker is a free program from Microsoft (yeah, weird huh?) that is actually pretty good for editing video clips. I'm actually learning in school right now how to use Adobe Premiere, so I think I'll wait a bit until I know better how to do these things, and then I'll try my hand at it.
When is the contest over anyway? And what will be our prize? Is it shiny?

We're thinkin' the end of August.
That will only give us 3 or 4 weeks to spread them via youtube and myspace.
And yes the prize is shiny!
We'll be announcing it soon.

Well, just posted a trailer for Bushwacked on Youtube (
). First attempt at doing this, no fancy edits or anything, need to brighten some of the scenes a bit, and it may just suck. But it was fun, and I noticed a couple of things in a few scenes that I hand't before (Wash putting his hands in the "Don't shoot" position as the Alliance boards Serenity)NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Hey NAFLM, you're the first to step up! Thank you for this. I like how you approached it from the horror/suspense angle. Nice touch! That's what's cool about doing trailers. There are so many ways to approach the storytelling.
What do you think about adding the info text at the end?

How long did it take you, if you don't mind my asking? Any tips you can give on vid making would be appreciated by us.
