Working on Vids again. After the crash yesterday, I did not feel like going back to the Wash video, but turned to a general "Why I love Firefly" kind of vid instead. This time I had the scenes I wanted to use in my mind and already written a kind of preliminary storyboard before starting to look for music. And then I found an Argentinian tango which fits the scenes perfectly. I am really looking forward to this one.

I will also use dialog bits from the scenes. I was never able to do that, because my video software was did to recognize the sound when I captured from DVD. I now found an audio extraction software, that allows you to capture the complete audio track from the DVD, chapter by chapter. Even if you are not vidding, this is neat. You can burn the resulting mp3s on a CD and then you have a kind of Firefly audio book, you can listen to while in the car or whereever on an mp3 player.

Unfortunately, the audio extraction is rather slow (about 1 h per DVD). So it takes some time to capture all eps.

Farscape, the Peacekeeper Wars, was on German TV today (first time, afaik, at least for free TV). I know the Farscape community (including myself) was very upset when we did not get a 5th season, but the mini series was a good compromise and really brings the series to a good ending. It is okay to let something go after that. (Even though I did cry when watching Peacekeeper Wars for the first time). But Firefly? The story is just beginning! There just has to be more to come, surely.

I ordered the comic book at Amazon Germany today. They said, it will not be available till March, though. Well, maybe they will surprise me again. (The DVD set was here in less than two days, even though Amazon said they needed about 2 weeks for delivery).

Hey there Capella,

I love Argentine tangos! I look forward to seeing the vid. Enjoy working on it. I did a Serenity DVD cover a couple of months back, and it was so rewarding.
