Spent a couple of hours poking around on youtube looking for cool FF vids, and came up with a couple of gems. Check 'em out.

Switchfoot: When I look at the Stars
Upbeat, humorous, perky slice of FF. This makes me grin.

All the Roadrunning: Mark Knopfler and EmmyLou Harris
The music fits the westerny aspect of FF. Kinda sad.

An homage to the crew in the ep OoG: This one is perfect (well, I love Rufus, so I'm a bit biased). Interweaves Mal's fallout with God. This has so many levels of meaning, it humbles me.

Lyrics:

Hallelujah
(Leonard Cohen) performed by Rufus Wainwright

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this:
The fourth (Zoe), the fifth (Wash)
The minor fall (Jayne), the major lift (Kaylee)
The baffled king (Mal) composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you (Serenity as Delilah--Mal's love for her almost cost him his life)
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before, I know this room, I've walked this floor, I used to live alone before I knew you (Inara). I've seen your flag on the marble lodge, love is not a victory march, it's a [koan] that it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know, what's real and going on below, but now you never show it to me do you? And remember when I moved in you, the holy dark was moving too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. It's not a cry you can hear at night. It's not somebody who's seen the light, it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

OK, on to the others.

Nickel Creek: River's POV, fragmented, like her reality. The video is repititious, just like a refrain or a chorus in a song. Interesting. Interweaves the River Tam Sessions to great affect.

Audio interweaving: Very dark, about the war.

Humorous:

My Girl: funny Mal/Saffron POV

And now for something completely different:

total and utter farce: WARNING: take your sense of humour with you

Enjoy!

P.S. Here's a bonus one from Pride&Prejudice
Probably the prettiest movie I've ever seen, and one with the most oner's...ever (well, one's not done by Joss, anyway)

"Wanna?" – Mal to Kaylee, Out of Gas

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Youtube always looks slow and jerky on my comp

Thanks for posting these Hera!

I like seeing the stuff that folks make.
We have an amazing community of artists who love Firefly/Serenity.

Browncoats are amazing folks!

America loves a winner!

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for posting this!

Browncoats always bring me the best fanvids!

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Got so excited I kinda forgot the links, whoops,

Found these two from a previous thread from May, thought I would include. Thank you onthedrift!

There are a few I saw a while ago, one is set to Whisper by Evanesence and the other is set to Walking On The Sun by Smash Mouth. Both of those are pretty darn good.

Thanks, dude, you made me get teary eyed even before breakfast. Very shiny vid, and I for one wouldn't have guessed it was your first.

The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!

September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.
