Hi Roj:

Serenity is officially over. I'm going to the wrap party tomorrow night. We've packed up our stuff in boxes. My dressing room is cleared out. Kinda crazy that it went by so fast, but I knew it would.

The last two weeks (specifically my last week, which was second to last for the rest of the crew) was very, very hectic. We saved the most difficult stuff to the end, which I guess was a good idea, considering we had so much time (and so much fun) doing the nice stuff for the first two months. But all of the action stuff was tagged on at the end of the schedule, which means lots of scrambling to get our "days"... and by that I mean, lots of overtime. Some of us-- and I won't say who because that would be saying too much-- had so much stunt/wire work to do, they basically worked all day and then went straight to rehearsal (which we call Fight Camp), and then got up in the morning to work again, and so on. Whew.

I'm glad that we were so busy, though, because none of us could see "the end" coming so much. And when it did happen, it was very surreal. It was late at night, and everyone was fired up on caffeine (having slept probably about six hours the night before, if that), and ready to keep filming... and suddenly it was announced that we were wrapped. And not just any wrap... "picture wrapped". But it was a really lovely moment. Everyone was so exhausted, we literally collapsed into each other's arms for a hug and vowed to celebrate at the wrap party (so we didn't really have to say good-bye right then)... and that was it.

To be a part of something so special is incredibly gratifying. I can't wait to see the finished cut with all the special effects included. I can't wait to see people's reactions. It's going to an interesting 2005.

As will DragonCon, which is next weekend... That snuck up on me, too. Adam and Nathan are going, (as the whole world knows by now at this point) which is nice for me. I have my big bro's there to help me spread the word. It'll be a nice cap to a wonderful experience.

What a place to be in right now. I feel great. Tired, but great.

I'll write when I'm home in beautiful Van-city.

Jewel

With Serenity finished shooting, the first official teaser can't be that far from appearing in the theaters and therefore on the web!

Yeah, I wonder, how much time goes by before the trailers are released? Is it going to be september, october...or november?

It all depends on them really... atleast with the teaser. Ocean's 12 has one and it doesn't have a single scene from the actual sequel. Star Wars Episode II had a teaser as well way early into their filming... so hopefully the teaser for Serenity will be out SOON!!!!!!!!!!!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Great message from Jewel. I would love to hear how the wrap party went.

I agree that it will most likely be December before we can expect to see a trailer in theatres. They still have to edit and add special effects. I am really looking forward to seeing a trailer.

I can't wait for the trailer!

I hope we'll find out which movies it will play before, so we can go out and see our BDH on the BDS (Big Damn Screen)!

While I don't really like time to fly, per se, April can't come soon enough!!!

I know, I know....The teaser trailer from the con was only enough to make me more excited - as if I thought that were possible. (And the trailer was all covertly taped...A BIG BIG thank you to whoever did it).

Still, I'm thinking the actual theater trailer will probably show up around Christmas time. So the question remains: How many people will go out and see a lousy movie because someone posted that it had the "Serenity" trailer???
