There is a project up on Rockethub trying to raise money to create a Serenity-based webseries. I'd urge everyone to spread the word and maybe donate some money so we can keep projects like this alive! Browncoats unite!

Ok, I'm an idiot- what do they mean by "webseries"? Like a comic strip type deal, or a CGI type deal??

Dong ma?
No, not really...

Nothing will happen with that as long as FOX and/or Universal have rights to the property. This has to be at least the fifth attempt by people to collect money for something they'll never have the opportunity to produce.

It seems connected to help nathan buy firefly. I think that if you want people to help, you should probably change the name. a non-unique name that doesn't pull you up on a search is going to take marketing to promote, and no one wants to pay for you to market it.

Also, Gordon has a point. Without the rights it can't be called firefly.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Even Universal didn't have the rights to the name Firefly. That word was not used once in the BDM.

Sadly, it won't be called Firefly. That's one thing we can't do. That's why it is called "Those who came before", in Honour of the Serenity comic "Those Left Behind"

It is also not connected to Help Nathan Fillion buy Firefly. This is an actual attempt to create a unique piece of work that will be free from TV or Movie restrictions.

"Those who came before fire, fly spaceships."

Fixed it.

lol. Our best bet is to somehow contact Joss Whedon and ask him if we can use the term Serenity before the title.

Something like

Serenity: Those who came before.

Wellll...yes and no.

Those who have tried to collect money and succeeded are the ones who kept their expectations in line with their capabilities.

I would point to my friend's short film "cache".
He raised about fifteen hundred dollars
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/522005770/firefly-fan-film
to make this eight minute short:
vimeo.com/27507965
(For some reason I can't get the link to copy and paste or even type out.
So, add a www. to the address above, and that will link to the short film on vimeo.)

The last attempt I saw that failed was a person with few resources trying to raise $50,000 to make a fan film.
Browncoats:Redemption raised a ton of money, but they put forth a lot, if not most, of the production money themselves.
Likewise the, still-in-post-production, "Into The Black" raised little and paid the bulk of their costs.

My guess would be $1,000 is probably the most that an un-proven production group could expect to solicit.

I placed 5000 dollars as the most we would need, I don't expect to raise that much, but any amount helps.

We will be putting forth money for everything we need to make the first Promo video. We hope to show that with that Promo video, that we can make something amazing.
