THANKS!

I wish they ALL could see it!

I have that song on my iTunes and everytime I heard it I kept thinking to myself "I MUST make a Firefly vid with that" so I finally sat down and did it.

Oh my...
Wiccanslyr...
Wow...

Okay, you definitely brought a tear to my eye as soon as the first chorus hit. Beatifully done.

I'll be honest and say that some of the later cuts weren't as clean as that first set, but it is still an absolutely wonderful work.

I'd highly recommend that we find a way to ensure that the BDH's see this. I think that they'd really appreciate it!

Thanks for the beautiful work on this, Wiccanslyr!

Thanks Rabit!

The one cut/edit I'm not happy with and may have to fix it the River (voice that's calling out) one..it's a little too ubrupt.

But I'm glad you like it.

That was one big damn shiny video there! :) I like it!

Now there's this scene in it where the camera pans across the cast as they're walkin' through the desert. I've seen that in another video and I've used it in my King of the Hill sendup, but what ep does that come from? I can't seem to place it.

And Wiccanslyr, do let me know if you can send me some clips for a project I'm workin' on. Wave me about it.

I believe that it's from Heart of Gold, but I haven't checked. Pretty sure it's from after they land, as they're first walking up to the Heart of Gold, itself.

Is that right?

I liked it too.

Liked how you matched the lines to characters. Pity there was nothing for Wash or Zoe.

[constructive criticism]
I did notice that the synch could've used a little work (cutting to people after "their" descriptions in the song had started), and the black screens kinda broke the flow.

Whoo, that was truly wonderful! I was surprised to see the screen caps of all the sites, so that was a really original aspect that flowed well with the song.

Keep up the good work, and let's see some more vids!

Edited because I was really using too many "reallys"!

Wiccanslyr:

Like many others have testified, your montage brought tears to my eyes. I wish I could say they were happy tears. Bittersweet is the best I can manage.

I still grieve so deeply for the Firefly series, like an untimely taken child, that the pain of lost beauty threatens to crush my world-weary soul. Your video sadly reminds me of that loss; but it also resurrects the joyous beauty Firefly brought into my life, if only too briefly.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Respectfully,

zoid

P.S.
Is it "Wiccan Sl(a)y(e)r" or "Wiccan's Lyr(e)"? The latter indicating a musical inclination, the former, not so much...

Wiccanslyr:

I can scarcely watch an episode from the DVD set without breaking down at least once. Really. Same reason: I just can't believe it's gone. At some point during the viewing, it'll hit me that Firefly -- as we knew it -- is never coming back, and it's instant waterworks. I've never felt this way about a TV series.

I'm just an overly sensitive softy, though. The arts and poignant moments have always touched me. But it's okay. I figure pain and joy are flip sides of the same coin; I wouldn't give up one and lose the other. And yes, I feel joy as overwhelmingly as I do sorrow...

So, it was not a backhanded compliment. Your montage was very moving. Brava!

Appreciatively,

zoid

Awesome. Toadally. Amanda Marshall is a great choice for an anthem, and your video editing suits this song nigh unto perfection.

There was a bit of confusion for me as to why there were the screencaps of Firefly Movie sites, but then I relaised that stands for that fact you believe in the movie, and that it'll bring our Firefly back...

....right?

Also, is there anyway we can download/save this video, I love it so much!!

Or it that stealing?

I use something called HT Video Editor.

But Microsoft Moviemaker (which comes standard on any windows based PC and can be upgraded for free at Microsoft.com) is also a descent program for vid making.

The most important thing when making vids is to have good source material. My source material comes from DVD rips.

Well you need the source to be in a usable format which mean either downloading it or 'ripping' (converting) it to a useable format. You can get ripping software on-line. Just enter 'DVD Ripper' into your browse and see what's out there.
