My apologies for posting so late in the day. Between FFF.net being down and work, this was the soonest possible, gorramnit!

I’d like to say that I’m amazed and humbled by the amount of time, work and effort that the contestants and the judges put in to make this contest a success. The love you all feel for the creation that is Firefly is inspiring. You people make me giddy, and I have loved every minute of working with each and every one of you. Browncoats RULE. Thank you.

Please note, the highest score an entry can earn with the rating system (scores from 0 to 5) with five judges is 25.

An extra-special heartfelt thank you is extended to the other judges (LithiumDoll, jtskier1200r, MalNourished, FollowMal), who, when they volunteered for the task, possibly did not fully realize what they were signing themselves up for. The time they took to comment on each of the 48 entries, their surmounting of youtube bandwidth issues, was invaluable. 11thHour declined to judge for personal reasons, and we thank her for her initial consideration of taking on the judging task.

But I digress, and I’m sure you find that irritating. So, to get to the part that everyone is waiting for, we do have our winners, and they are...

No, I don't.

Oh, and those were really great. I especially liked Tzegha's "Serenity" trailer, because it would be perfect to show to non-Browncoats (i.e. is not spoilerific). Not that I'm saying that any of the other ones weren't good, and yummy, and neat (because they were all that and more), it's just... I can see why that video won, is all.

A big thank-you to Hera, LithiumDoll, jtskier1200r, MalNourished, FollowMal, 11thHour, and all of the entries. Warms my heart...

I want to thank fireflyfans.net for giving me a reason to even try making trailers! It gave me a reason to try making some more videos and I was having a great time! I also want to say thank you to the fellow vidders who gave me helpful hints and critique that will help me grow! PS...I watched most of these videos already, to see what the others were doing and I HAVE to say you are all VERY talented and really have some great insight into the feeling for Firefly! I feel very lucky t have been a part of this ~

There sure is a lot of thanks and gratitude and so forth being exchanged every which a'way here, and I figured that since I owe so much the the people who made this possible, I might get in on some of that. Thank you to the concept creaters of this here video contest. Thank you to the judges who made the whole thing possible. Thank you to those who helped me along the way. Thank you to everyone else for putting up such shiny videos. And, of course, Thanks you to Joss and the cast and crew and everyone who made Firefly and Serenity possible. Making the videos was twenty different kinds of fun and seeing the finished products is all manner of gratifying. It was hard, intense, sweaty, grimy, grungy work. Ok, I suppose not so grungy. It was hard, intense, sweaty, grimy work. Actually, just hard, intensive, sweaty work. ...Well, it was work. But in the end, it was all worth it. So once again, thank you all!
