I filmed quite a bit of our journey to San Diego to meet our BDH with the intention of compiling a mini-documentary entitled "Big Damn Roadtrip."

I haven't even started editing the footage together yet, but I was wondering how interested everyone would be in seeing such a production about a group of Browncoats' journey? There's footage of Joss and the gang, and we filmed the entire panel, but I didn't have a tripod and we were both excited as all Hell to be there and we had to zoom in to get good shots of the Gang. What does that translate to? Footage that looks like it was shot in an earthquake.

I'm going to make it for us as a memento, anyway, but, just to hear a consensus, how much would you guys like to see something like this?

Sounds like great fun ... I'd watch it. I've done a few BDRs in my time, but never filmed one.

These guys, from Edmonton (hometown of Nathan Fillion) have made a couple of awesome movies from their trips to exotic and forbidden locations. (ie: they walked into Tibet from China and didn't get visas or anything).

Their first movie was originally just for themselves and their families, except that it turned into something much bigger. Great stuff!

Yes indeed. In fact, I think itd be very interesting if we did some kind of Browncoats grassroots documentary. About the fans journey from when the series ended to it opening day of Serenity.

and also

If you have footage, does this mean you have footage of the clip they showed of the Serenity? Find a way to post this please!

Unfortunately, I am not as brave as Mal and his crew. I did not want to risk having my footage confiscated by watchful and reproachful convention staff, so I did not film the trailer either time it was on.

Somehow, though, I "forgot" to pause the tape when Joss showed it a second time, so I do have the audio of it. I rather regret not being more bold and getting it on camera, because I want to watch it again and again, and I'm sure the Browncoats who didn't get to see it are aching to, as well. Don't worry, though, I'm sure it will leak out somewhere, somehow.

Anyway, glad to see that the "Big Damn Roadtrip" will be warmly recieved. I have started working on it now, and I already have most of the narration ideas in my head (there wasn't much else to do on the 8 hour drive back, except for every fifteen minutes or so when we'd gush about how awesome everybody was again). I would imagine I can have it edited pretty quickly.
