The contest is for episode trailers (there are 14 separate episodes) and/or a trailer showcasing the series.

No movie clips! Sorry.

Deadline is August 31st, right?

That should leave me enough time to get my ruttin' Mac display fixed up. Stupid thing's on the fritz, kinda like the backlight's dying on it.

Each teaser would open with the FF animated logo, to tie them all together.

It's been a long time since I have posted here. I think this is a great idea; however, I'm not sure what to make. I've made music videos but I've never made a trailer. Here’s the reason why. To make a decent trailer you still need music, hence a music video. In addition to this you need an announcer of some sort. I don't have professional audio equipment to do this. However, I would love to add my talents to the mess so tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it.

---

How about using supertitles like the Serenity trailer? There was no announcer on that. Then the music you could use would be from the series soundtrack, or another tune of your choosing, but just no lyrics.

Well, here's my first of many. This was quite possibly the most fun I've had with video editing.

Also, I made a clip of just the disclaimer at the end. If you want me to send it to you so you can just clip it onto anything you make, drop me a line at stubbyandporkchop@yahoo.com, I'll email it to you in mpeg format. (It's not very big.) Enjoy!

Hey, here's a question for you-
How do you know whose is whose? I sent mine in, but I didn't see anywhere to give credit to myself for them. They were saved in mpeg format, and entitled "Firefly Trailer 1 - Meet the Crew" "Firefly Trailer 2 - Action" and "Firefly Trailer 3 - Best Show" respectively. (Assuming you've alread received them and don't know whom to attribute them.) Just thought I'd drop a heads up.

Since I already posted my video ("Return to Serenity" trailer) on youtube before I even knew there was a contest, and would rather it remain there under my own name, I'm not sure if it qualifies for the contest ("none of the above" category I presume) or not. Anyway, if it qualifies, consider it my entry, and if not, no worries.

I have a new trailer, which I like even more than that one, almost ready to go... Not in time for the contest, though. :)

Hey Hans, we'll add "Return to Serenity" to the list for the none of the above category, for it's sheer audacity and original concept.

Is your new trailer for the series? Why don't you have time to submit it? The deadline is 4 weeks away, August 31st.

Makes no never mind that a trailer has already been entered for the pilot episode. What we want is for folks to get involved, have fun and learn about fanvids. And help us get the word out about this awesome show!

Can you send me your pilot entry to the yousendit account? I'd appreciate it.

GAH! This html is defeating me today.

Silly me, I thought the contest ended on July 31st, not Aug 31st... D'oh!

The new trailer is another "Return to Serenity" trailer using footage from deleted scenes, other movies, etc., to give the impression of a new film. It's effectively done, I'm just polishing it up right now.

Thanks for organizing this contest!
