That sounds great! You should send a copy to Starfury conventions, I bet they'd play it at Serenity in April.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Just a bit of an update:

I haven't been able to do any editing because Adobe Premiere hates me. For some reason, it won't accept the raw DV-AVI files, so I'm having to find a work-around (although, as an aside, if anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.)

So, in the meantime, I've been working on the graphics in After Effects, writing the narration dialogue and such, so that at least something is getting done.

Wanted to give the Browncoats an update on this.

Mohr Stoutbeard is my son, and he sent me a teaser clip of what he's done so far on the "Big Damn Roadtrip," essentially just the opening credits, although he says he's got the Adobe Premier problem worked out and is editing the other footage.

I have a site on Tripod, but unfortunately I don't have much bandwidth available there. Enough for this short clip, but not for the complete documentary. If anyone has a suggestion as to where this can be hosted we would appreciate some feedback. This clip is just over a minute, at 8.8mb, and he thinks the completed video will be around an hour, so that probably means over 500mb.

Anyway, here's a teaser. Just right click and save.

One other thing. He did a Firefly fanvid a few months back, which we posted here at that time. Since then I had to delete that from my Tripod files when he did a spaghetti western parody, which is still available for anyone who is interested and didn't see it a few weeks back.

I'm going to leave that one up a bit longer, then in a week or so I will delete it and put the Firefly vid back up, and will let you know when that happens.

Sorry, Cassandra. I should have mentioned in my post that you will need the latest DivX codec to view the clip.

You can get that here - http://www.divx.com/divx/download/
