Yeah, that is a very well put together video. I'd love to do stuff like that, but due to a few complications, I can only stick to doing Firefly music videos. Oh well. Keep up the great work, SS71!
P.S.: I don't know who made this video, but it's also a very good one. Kudos to whomever pieces it together.

I like the whole idea behind these videos. I hope they do their job well.

I'd seen this one. I absolutely loved it. I got goosebumps when seeing it. The music, the dialogue, the way the world is presented. Incredible.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback. I might do one more, have to get an idea first. At least this is one of those shows that I really enjoy so I have no problem doing them. Also it helps me keep my editing skills up since I have been a little rusty as of late.

Oh, man! I would soooooo love to get in on this, but I just have not (and will not have) the time right now! (Heck, I haven't even got time right now to read the whole post or replies.)
I will say one thing and hope it influences the entries. I feel the one thing Universal seriously screwed up in promoting Serenity is that they sunk to using what has become the standard method of making a promo for any movie nowadays: They try to cram it all into one ad, hoping that the mish-mash of (seemingly) milliseconds-long sound bites will contain a little something for everybody and grab everyone's attention all in one promo. That may work for the running-on-instincts-only ADD crowd that most mindless movies that become blockbusters attract, but Firefly was NEVER something could fit that mold (and if you really want to know how I feel about that crowd, then read my reply to the latest call for a F
x boycott here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22898#356752 - noooo, I'm not disillusioned - not at all...).
What I feel Universal should have done was a series of ads -- say maybe sixish -- that each focused on a different part of the crew/story for the entire ad. The 'verse is such a different place than what the non-exposed are used to that, even if a large percentage of the targeted audience only caught maybe half of the ads, this more in-depth approach would have given a much better impression of the depth and range of the subject at hand. I think this approach would have garnered much more buzz and interest from the general population and I feel Universal really did themselves (and, of course, by extension the Browncoats) a major disservice by not taking this approach.
Anyway - that's my two cents. Hope someone can make more use of it than I have time for right now in my life.

I agree with CaptainBrowncoat, and they did somethin' very similar with Firefly. With Firefly, they didn't pick stuff from the 'tire episode so much as either the 'funny' moments or the 'dramatic' moments and it kind of boggled ya, bounced you 'round 'til you wasn't sure what was goin' on and had little interest.
Sometimes, I laugh. Other times, you make me laugh. The rest a' the time, I'll be in Jayne's bunk.

Posting a banner I've already posted in the blue sun room as I've been told it would make a good trailer. For all you people with loads more talent than me who can actually make trailers - feel free to use this idea. 
Okay, it's also my poorly disguised way of looking for attention, so ignore me 
I also highly recommend that people have a look at the trailer for Heroes, a new show airing on NBC... I ~think~, not 100% on where it's airing. But look it up because the trailer is ~amazing~ and really makes me want to see the show.

There's one here that pretty much follows that line of thought.

Well, I wasn't originally going to do this. But it sounds like fun, so I suppose I'll start workin' on some trailers!
