Ok, ok. I said I wouldn't be able to participate in this. But all this talk has got me kind of psyched, so I might give it a whack, but no guarentees. I may have missed the memo, but in case anyone else was wondering as I was, when would the deadline for this be?

Sometimes, I laugh. Other times, you make me laugh. The rest a' the time, I'll be in Jayne's bunk.

I'm psyched about this and have gotten to work already. One question, though.

The rules state the videos must be 1 to 3 minutes. What if they're less than a minute? I just finished a promo for "The Train Job" and it comes in at just under a minute, including the closing text frames.
It says what I wanted it to say, though, and personally I'd rather go short than long.

SO, to sum up, are videos less than 1 minute okay?

Mal: Did you send word to Patience?
Wash: Ain't heard back yet. Didn't she shoot you one time?
Mal: Everybody's makin' a fuss.

Hey, WWW, less than a minute is fine. I came up with that window of time to give folks a jumping off point, so we didn't end up with 5 minute teasers.

I'm glad your in! I look forward to seeing you vid. Sometime early this weekend, I'm going to collate some data and post how many entries we have to date.

I finished the video last night and let my students critique it today. They made a couple of suggestions, which I implemented, and the finished product is up on my YouTube page. (Still converting as of this moment, though.)

The URL has been mailed. The URL for my YouTube page is:

I love students. I love critiques! Speaking of both, you should read some of this. Hi-larious.

Thank you for sending along, WWW. I'll check email later today and write you back.

Great link!

My favorite:

'Slap your head violently and mutter "Stupid, stupid, stupid, I should have thought of that."'

For the record, I teach computer programming. I reward my students with episodes of 'Firefly' as needed. (Or when I feel like it. It's good to be the king.)

Well, for fun I made a trailer of Serenity. I know it doesn't fit the criteria for this contest, but I figured this would be a good place to post a link.

This is my first attempt at a movie trailer, so be kind.
