I was wondering if you had the screensaver fan-Luxlucre distributed for fans. (Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago.) He also did up some cartoons based on Firefly as Southpark characters. I think I have copies of it all...

My favorite fan vid is the one Bonbari(?) did for Out of Gase to the song Hallelujah. I hope she'll let one of the fan DVD promoters use it. Shame to keep it from so many new Browncoats.

Right, time to catch up on what we have/want:

Have:

All the mov files from the original Fox Website (some are very poor quality files so we'll have to see about those)
The full length gag reel from Firefly (VHS quality)
The ComicCon Footage
The three featurettes that were on the sampler DVD that came with BSG (no longer available AFAIK so therefore valid)
Serenity winning Film of the Year on Film 2005
The trailers (as many as I can find)
Adam Baldwin on Whatever (a kids show) promoting Serenity
An interview with Summer Glau on the red carpet
The River Tam Sessions (I See You!)
B-Roll footage
Summer and Nathan on GMTV
Serenity on Ebert and Roeper (two thumbs up!)

Needy - I found a copy of that magazine (a nice write up they gave to Serenity too) and yeah, I've not seen that b-roll stuff anywhere before, nice spot! My copy didn't freeze at the end.

Re: the uncut version of the pilot - well, the only version available is in very poor quality and the major deleted scenes are on the TV DVD. Are there any other scenes that people would want from it?

SerenityValley: Alan Tudyk playing cards? Not seen that, would love it!

Fredgiblet: thanks for the offer, I'll be back to you when it's done!

Agatsu: As far as the seller goes, I'd find it hard to feel bad for someone who's just use freely available clips to sell for their own profit. It happens and there's a market for it but that is exactly what I hope to remove. I'm also considerably less sympathetic if she's reselling things like Starfury clips which Sean Harry does go out of his way to copyright. He sells DVDs of the guest talks which in turn allows him to do more with the conventions. Perhaps if you could find out if she actually does have any unique material not mentioned here, that way you could save yourself a bit of cash.

Seraphant:

I haven't got the Serenity Inside Look nor the fans singing happy birthday. I'm not going to put any convention vids on with the exception of the ComicCon one because that has been freely available here for about two years. I'd love to include more music videos but I'm going to ask the makers of them if they allow it first. But I'd love to get a copy of those first two.

Keep the suggestions/offers coming, particularly if there are some great music vids that really have to go on (I really like the Learn to Fly, Time and Holding Out For A Hero).

I hope you are including Tzegha's vids, SimonWho.

She has made vids that have become a part of my Firefly collection right there with the BDS and the BDM.

Thank you for this.. this is the most wonderful thing you are doing!

How about the special intros to the TV series - I believe there are three all together? And although Fox didn't do much in the way of advertising the series - some of them are cool looking...

I've found that eBay auction listing and now I've read the full set here:

I'm impressed and also relieved that she doesn't seem to be using any copyrighted material (the Starfury stuff is just the trailer for the convention).

To be honest, I would feel bad about just lifting all the stuff from that DVD so let's find it through other sources. I really don't think making money from fans and material that isn't yours is the nicest of things but then again I don't know her story - she may really really need to do this.

So the search continues, plus I just found on my hard drive something rather cool: the talk with the cast + Joss and Chris Buchanan (who never gets enough credit and really deserves it) after the Edinburgh festival premiere and the talk Joss gave the following day.

These hold special meaning to me as I saw them live. Nathan's impersonation of Simon is fantastic: "Riiiiver? I'm sorrrry." We get to see Chiwetel speak about Serenity, something of a rarity, plus see exactly where that bit of trivia on the IMDB originated.

Okay, finished collating stuff now except for fanvids - will go asking permission from authors next week (unless any care to push their own works in this thread which would be great!)

All coming together very nicely!

SimonWho how can I get a copy once you're done making it?

This sounds too shiny to be true. I would love me a copy as well. SimonWho you deserve a Browncoat medal of honor of some sort for all your hard work and dedication, way to go!
I can't admit to having seen all the fanvids by any stretch, but I have run across two in particular that I love and have been trying to pimp. I'll give you the links, I think they're worth checking out even if they're not in the running for inclusion on Simon's Shiny Disc. Thanks again Simon.

Got so excited I kinda forgot the links, whoops,

I'd just like to reiterate my offer of a DVD burner and some DVD's.
