Holy crap. Those are the only words. Oh, wait here are some more. You're so right, if Fox had used commercials like that one, Firefly would've took off right from episode one! That was probably one of the best trailers for it that I have seen yet. Good work!

Love it! Very pro. I know what fox didn't do... get you on to do the ads! 'versial should have helped too.

It may seem unbelievable, but Serenity was never in theatres in Hong Kong. I never heard of Firefly, but Hong Kong has aired Wonderfall in Hong Kong (WIERD!). Anyways when I did finally got Serenity on DVD... I LOVE IT! I was obsessed with it! I bought the whole tv series (which amazingly they did SELL!) It might not have sold as much as the US, but the movie was a hit (Top charts no. 3 in HMV). I bought it and then I went back a few months later and the thousands of copies they had were GONE! Sold out and HMV is stocking up. More Ads definatly required.

It was freaking unreal. If you can make it in Hong Kong you can make it anywhere just like Prison Break.

Bottom Line, I think that the advertisements for Firefly and serenity just plain out sucked. I did not see any advertisements at all for either one. I just brought my wife to the movies one day and picked one. My brother told me about Firefly... If I didn't get word of it, then it wasn't good enough.

This is one of the trailer contest participants.

Very shiny! Gave me goosebumps!

IHeartFirefly, exactly right with the recruiting tool!

This is why we did this. We need these to spread all over the web. That and it's great fun to have the contest and see all the shiny new Firefly/Serenity stuff folks come up with.

I think if folks see this who have never seen Firefly/Serenity before .. well.. they will want to see it and will go hunting for it. That's our aim. More folks liking Firefly/Serenity, more folks to sell another one to.
