Mike, you gotta be kiddin'!
On another note - Here is the New Temporary Theme Song for Dragonfly:
HAMMER TO FALL
Queen
Words and music by Brian May
Here we stand or here we fall
History won’t care at all
Make the bed light the light
Lady mercy won’t be home tonight yeah
You don’t waste no time at all
Don’t hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We’re just waiting
For the hammer to fall
Oh ev’ry night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face the western way
Build your muscles as your body decays yeah
Toe your line and play their game yeah
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it’s time for the hammer to fall
Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it’s all the same (oh no oh no)
Lock your door the rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your struggle’s all in vain
For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can’t be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder louder
What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won’t hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While your waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall
It’s gonna fall
Hammer..you know..hammer to fall
Waiting for the hammer to fall now baby
While you’re waiting for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time

OK then - this one I like a LOT better. I can see relevence in it. And it still does not prevent working on a special significance song too.
You don’t waste no time at all
Don’t hear the bell but you answer the call

We’re just waiting
For the hammer to fall

So are you working on a feature or a short or a trailer? What market are you going for? I used to work in features as well. Production and Location Management mostly. Where you an OSD or APm? I now work as an Maya animator/director for a science foundation. Just let me know if you need any help I will do watever I can to help.
Thanks

Right now my budget is tiny ($70,000) so I am planning on shooting a 6 to 10 minute trailer for Dragonfly.
I am a semi-pro with only a few commercials and other items from working with UPN and paramount here in Indiana. Mostly props, costumes, production management etc.
I have to admit I am ignorant of the acronyms you used
Quote:Unless by APm you mean a Asst. Prod. Manager, which - yes I have performed that function on an Indie film called "Starship 2". Heh, never again, lol! I will work my own productions, unless I am doing pro work!
Where you an OSD or APm?"
or the $$$ are REALLY good!Thanks, I will take you up on that offer! Gimme an email at CapnRahn@aol.com and we can talk.

Puma -
Well nice indeed to see you still exist. LOVE your choice of Avatar, but he has always had a soft spot in MY ... heart. Or somewhere>
Best of luck on getting up and running. Oh and before I forget - working title to the Dragonfly is now Chimera - cause no one could spell Justiciar the same way twice 
Cheers,

Hiya folks ... a brief stop to give more input and ask for opinions.
First off I am considering changing the Series Title to the name of the ship, Chimera, instead of the vessel class name, Dragonfly. I like the current title Dragonfly, but it may be TOO derivative. Opinions?!
Bad News Section
My so-called contact that was to aid me in getting a meeting with Joss Whedon was a scam. Long story short - 2 weeks before WizardCon they wanted 200 dollars to 'facilitate' this meeting. So much for slipping through the kitchen door. However, I still may be able to get to a convention or such and use the 'Fireflygasm' thread I started as an 'intro' with Mr. Whedon. Waiting is.
New Devlopments/Ideas
Here is an interesting thought I had. One that has not been done in any season or series - at least to my knowledge: In the first season the crew only have the heavily modified engineering tug Rubicon {AKA as the Rube or Ruby, depending on how the character feels about the ship} to be running around in. It is roughly half the size of the Serenity and will be very claustrophobic with over half a dozen folks riding on it. It will travel frequently to the homebase on Arcade, so we can leave a portion of the crew baseside.
In the final 3 or so episodes, we see the completion of the Dragonfly class Chimera being finished and actually launching. In ending episode of the 1st season we have a confrontation between the Chimera and the Beau Geste - with a climatic battle ending in the destruction of the Geste and the near destruction of the Chimera. And thus we have the most dreaded/hated words in episodic TV - TO BE CONTINUED.
OK, I am braced to be thoroughly smacked by all of y'all -- fire yer opinions at will!
{NO!!! - Not at the Will that is also Decoy! }
