Hi Hera,
thanks for telling me about this. I will try to come up with something.
Have fun,

See I have an idea for a series of character ads. Kinda like the character trailers I found on my Episode I DVD. Not meaning to steal, they will be very different from that but to illustrate the point you know.
I want to do a few others as well but that character series doesn't really fit in any of your catagories. I'll do them anyway and see how they come out.

Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

Hi all,
It's been a long time since I have posted here. I think this is a great idea; however, I'm not sure what to make. I've made music videos but I've never made a trailer. Here’s the reason why. To make a decent trailer you still need music, hence a music video. In addition to this you need an announcer of some sort. I don't have professional audio equipment to do this. However, I would love to add my talents to the mess so tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it.

Argh Hera, I never realized it could be done with movie maker. Hmmm... I really want to make a trailer now! but damnit, gonna be out of the country for a week, then busy like crazy for a month. Well, I can try. Sometime. Maybe. 
Eh, maybe I can storyboard while I'm gone.

How about using supertitles like the Serenity trailer? There was no announcer on that. Then the music you could use would be from the series soundtrack, or another tune of your choosing, but just no lyrics.

I say go for it! Story boarding is fun. Especially if you'll be on a plane for several hours!
Hope you can fit it in.

yeah... btw, is there a good place to download the eps? Preferably w/o the F*X logo? Or any way to use the CDs for movie making?
Just curious.

At the beginning of this thread are some links to tutorials. Do a google search for your platform.
EDIT: here's a thread talking about video tutorials and such. Good info for those starting out on their first vid project.

I found some download sites, decent quality. Just curious if there are any without the logo is all.
But then again, with the logo means it was on TV, which means it's legal because I own the DVDs (i think). But i bet striping the DVDs is all sorts of illegal. Same with the movie i'm betting.

Sounds interesting - and more than that, it sounds like a good idea to get people into the series. I'll take a look at it. Maybe I can come up with something.
