Very good. I see where you're going with it, my only concern would be that it could be tightened up immensely. But I really did enjoy it (as someone who's seen the series and really appreciates how you managed to keep the River card close to your vest.)

Thank you, Tzegha. Entered on the ballot. Very good, and the music use was perfect to my way of thinking.
I'll look for it when it's back up on youtube. Darn technical problems!

I know that I'm a slave to music, and have a hard time making myself chop out pieces I really like in order to make it more streamlined. I really like to let it all play out. And then my other problem is that when I *do* make myself slash the music, I find that I'm a bit of a clutz with it.
But please, feel free to email me at iamthefly at dreamsofthespider.com and point out any specifics that you can (not that I plan on making any changes for this contest entry, but just for my own learning process).
One thing that I knew I could cut was the whole beginning. I'm sure that new viewers don't feel how powerful the turning point is of this particular episode, and really wouldn't find it a catchy hook, and wouldn't possibly appreciate it until much later. But, personally, it was a profound and powerful entry point into this vid.
I've already been informed that the introduction of the passengers drags a bit, but that was me being a slave to the music (again!) and just not having the skill to nip and tuck the music, so I left it long.
Thanks for the honesty, I really appreciate it!

Shindig is up/scratch that, it's still processing, but it should be up soon. Peace, y'all. Keep cutting.

I reposted it, but I can't get anything to play over there. Is it just my computer, or the site?
And, Glad you liked it!

Hera,
dunno if this question has been asked, but should all entries be edited with the same tag so that all the entries come up with a single click, like "Firefly_trailer_contest" or "FireflyTrailers"???

Hey there Tzegha, very good question! Hadn't got that far in our thinking. Based on your knowledge of search engines, we could come up with a list of tags (please expand with your ideas)
firefly
teaser
trailer
promotion
fireflyfans
contest
serenity
episode
(name of episode)
How's that sit? Additions?

I think, with the way YouTube works, the easiest way to look up all the entries in a single search would be to do the "Firefly_trailer_contest" tag. Other tags will bring up a slew of non-entries as well.
But really, YouTube ain't a perfect search engine, and as long as everyone posts the links on here, we can compile them somewhere along the way.

well, there'd be two purposes for the tags:
1) to make the judging easier, so a conjoined key-phrase like "FireflyTrailer" or "FireflyContest" (no spaces)
and
2) to gain the attention of viewers outside of our community
firefly
teaser
trailer
promotion
fireflyfans
contest
serenity
episode
[name of episode]
science_fiction
Joss_Whedon/JossWhedon
My knowledge of search engines is slim, but perhaps keywords like "sexy" "naked" and "rim" might get a flurry of viewers ::veg::
