Proud to announce that Media Blender Studio has said, specifically to fans on FFF today, that a hi-def web series based on Whedon's Firefly universe, will begin production in a few short months. The new series will be shot on the Canon EOS 7D and have great visual effects of a new Firefly ship.

The synopsis of the show will be available next week. We really hope to have strong support on this and promise we will not phase out like a lot of shows. We've heard about several web shows that were "in production" and never went anywhere. Well, this show IS happening. We also hope to get some cameos and voice overs of very familiar characters. If you'd like to be involved in anyway, please send our studio an email at mediablenderstudio@gmail.com

Thank you for all the support!

Great News! Who are you?

Googling "Media Blender Studio" doesn't turn up much other than a mention on Pirate News web site (rss), and a neew Facebook page. Got any provenance? Just asking, politely.

We are a small entertainment studio based out of Portland, Oregon. We currently are producing and filming the web series "Deathdealers" and the action indie "Two If By War". This will be our third web based project. Keep sending the questions and comments and we'll do our best to reply! We're for the fans and supporters!

Thx Oblivion! I do have a couple more questions:

Live action?

What do you guys mean by web series?

Has Joss Whedon given his thumbs up to the project?

Will it be Canon?

Who's writing it?

Do you have a reel we can see?

As you might expect from a fan of the show I'm a huge fan of independent work, and I sincerely wish you nothing but the best, but I'm also curious (I'm sure a bunch of us are).

In response to your questions:

1. Yes..live action with CG for boat and space battles and visuals.

2. Web Series means you will be available to watch it for free via an interactive website.

3. No. We've just announced this as a fan made series with hopes that we will get an EXTREME amount of fans and rack up the viewership so FOX will take notice.

4. The show will be shot on the new revolutionary Canon EOS 7d cameras. The images will be gorgeous matched with the visuals of the new boat.

5. A team of writers is currently helping pen the scripts based on a pilot that actor/screenwriter Justin Rister wrote.

6. Some of our current project's clips will be available within the next few weeks as well as a teaser clip for the new show. A trailer for Deathdealers is already online, however, we have now switched to shoting with new camera equipment for it so the footage looks much cleaner and crisp.

You will not be disappointed with this new series. The look of the new boat, bridge, worlds, and cast is superb! We wanted the best to replicate it as close as possible to Whedon's universe and so far so good!

is there a website these are available on? Or (please god no) do we have to use itunes or something?

I hope it's not iTunes, only because even if it's free, I refuse to re-install that crap.

I'd like to know more about how this is accessed..?
