I haven't responded on the FFF.net in a while but I am glad I came back here today. A friend of mine just got off the production of Iron Sky for the past year and a half. He was doing a lot of the CG work you see on that. Okay, now to my point.

Check out ironsky.net and see what they were doing to get funding for there film. They raised a butt load of money through various sources. Timo, the Director even has a blog and an article (I will try to find it) about funding for the movie. Timo is a nice guy and e-mailing him or any of the other producers can help you. IT doesn't hurt to try.

A couple of key things: Trying to get funding for your movie is similar to opening a business. If you are serious about it, you will have a plan on how the investors will reap some reward from the non-profit webseries. I.E. - Film festivals and fan recognition at one of the Conventions.

Crowd funding websites and also the "wreck-a-movie" website is a good place to start. Every one knows that they won;t see their money again, only a kick ass webseries or movie in the end. That makes people happy a lot of times.

Make sure you have a story and a treatment before you move forward with this. I create storyboards and animatics at least twice a month i my department for investors or upper studio management. Fun, but gets old real quick when the cheese factor gets involved.

Firefly/Serenity is not a taboo subject around the studio but as stated before, many have tried and failed. For some odd reason the studios don't want to let it go.

I hope you succeed and I hope I can help at some point. Hey, if you need a storyboard artist (the magician who makes the blueprint) just let me know.

Good Luck.

Characters all written up. Backstories, personalities and defining characteristics are all completed.

Generic plot outline is set, now for specific episode plots. After that comes the scripting and storyboards.

Once that's all done, casting for the Trailer will commence!

There won't be any more updates for awhile, maybe a week or two. University term is nearing the end and I need to focus on that. However, once april comes the entire crew will have free time to create!
