Kaythryn;

Thanks for the link. Some wonderful character shots. But there is a conspicuous absence of any FX shots, alas. I can gaze lovingly at Serenity till the cows come home (many souls...)...But I fear the wife would ultimately tire of the look on my face if the lovely li'l Ms. Frye were to adorn my desktop!

thats interesting... I've got to think that this is an early model of Serenity. It looks a bit too 'techy'... I like the worn out, just barely holding together Serenity better...

Kobayashi;
I wonder if you'd flipped through to the third page of the article. There, you'll see a pic of Serenity on final approach (to Ariel?) which looks mighty tramp-steamer-ish. that initial space shot (which never appeared on the show, but is a mainstay of publicity shots) does look quite shiny-new. But, then again, Serenity always looked less rusty and beat up out in the black than she did in atmo.

Footnote: I'm quite impressed to learn that there was no miniature of the ship, but that it was 100% rendered. Quite a statement on the state of the art (bummed as I am that there isn't a nifty-slick model out there somewhere which might show up at a con or something!)!

Yeah, that approach shot of Serenity landing on Aieral is not too impressive. Something looks funny about the lighting. I bet the cityscape was rendered first then Serenity was composited on top... the city and the ship are'nt reflecting the same atmospheric properties.

The 'Serenity Beta' model could maybe be used as the 'off-the-shelf' version of a Firefly-class ship. Maybe Serenity was tinkered with over time and customized.

I assume you're talking about the article's shot of Serenity versus the wallpaper from the Fox web site.

Serenity is an Aught 3 Firefly, perhaps the wallpaper Serenity is an earlier Firefly class, maybe aught one or two. I know it's not likely but humor me.

Thank you Noocyte for the article. Thank you Kaythryn for the screen caps. Anyone willing to take pics of the SFX shots? Every screen capping web site ignores the SFX. I'm sad to say I think Twoevilmonks has stopped capping episodes and Trekvideo is down. We need screen caps of SFX, the ships, tech, etc.

I would but I have dial up so it takes a century to download episodes I have only 2/7ths of Serenity downloaded and I've been at it for a week. In short three hour intervals, only got one phone line.

I have to say that on both of those pics (pages 1 and 3 of the article) the Serenity rendered there looks much more streamlined than the Serenity rendered in the Fox distributed wallpaper pic of Serenity in orbit or in any of the screencaps I have.

Plus a window or two are out of place along with some other stuff I dont have names for.

So could be that yes they did versions of Aught 1 or 2 and 3. Maybe in some part of the process in creating Serenity, Joss and crew saw the nice shiny streamlined version with one less window and solar panel and decided it was TOO nice and opted to make her a bit more beatup looking and boxy.

The page one image on the article is the Serenity used in the remade Pilot episode. The boxy one was the original Firefly design. Infact it looks as if the reaver ship that appeared in the pilot as well was another design for our beloved Firefly.

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

Thanks for the links. Great pics, and one can never have enough Firefly pics.

Alright, I've already posted this message on another thread, but this is the one I was looking for so here it goes again. How and where do I post Serenity pictures?

Well, first, the selfish answer: email them to MEEEE! (heh-heh tfcabral@noocyte.com heh-heh

)!

Now, the civic-minded answer: I reckon the move would be to send them to Haken, with a request for a section on the site for such-like.

Or else, you could just put up a web page and post them to it, the send us the link.

Oh, and did I mention the selfish answer.....?

I don't have a problem with selfish as long as you don't have a problem getting a ton of e-mails. (I can only send three pics at a time) And I don't know if you missed the captain dummy talk for computers 'cause that rules out me and web pagea thinga whatsas.

Okay- I think this is the thread I was looking for...

Alrighty- this is for you fans out there who are trying to figure out Serenity’s dimensions... or anybody else who‘d like to look. I’ve set up a little web page, or site, or whatcha thingy, with some screen caps of Serenity. If everything goes according to plan more pictures ( interior shots of Serenity, and characters) will be up soon. If you’ve got some nice pictures of Serenity that I don’t have up, you can e-mail me and I’ll try to add them in too.

Here's the address-
http://moonhopper.0catch.com/Serenity%20page1/11.txt

P.s. I apologize in advance for the remedial looking page and any errors- I tried to teach myself html a few days ago and so far it’s not going so well.

Highly shiny, Kay!

Note, the web-page-thingie wouldn't let me link there directly from your message. I had to copy-paste it into my browser, edit out everything after the ".com" then search from your homepage (which, by the way, has some very cool stuff on it).

Righteous pics; wish they were a mite bigger, but I can always zoom in on them with my image viewing software (CompuPic. Decent.) and, besides, beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks so much for teaching yourself how to do this just for your fellow Browncoats! Most altruistic and cool-like!

Sorry about the address problem Noocyte. Now I know what's wrong I guess I should fix it...but I don't know how. It's just another example of how technology+Kaythryn=bad things, blank screens, and even once, a smoking computer.

Thanks Kathryn!!

Totally freakin' shiny! Even with the couple of extra steps to get to the pics, it's worth it.

Would like to hear the T+K=smoking-computer story sometime.

BTW, olives in your ice cream? Ewwwwwwww! Guess I shouldn't talk though. I like tuna salad or spray cheese on shortbread cookies. Jelly on Egg McMuffins is good too.

Okay, I just wanted to say I've got some more screen caps up. The new ones are only from "Serenity" and "The Train Job" as of today, though the other episode shots are soon coming.

I’m taking screen caps of Firefly guns, technology, characters, planets, cities, Alliance related shots, interior shots, as well as a few miscellaneous ones just for the heck of it. If anyone has any pictures, or whatever that they’d like me to add, especially if they pertain to Serenities dimensions, I’d love to put them in. Just e-mail them to me at abbynormalartist@yahoo.com

That or any suggestions because I really don’t know what I’m doing.

Here’s the page-

www.moonhopper.0catch.com

Since I’m not all knowing, and really knowing of very little when it comes to web pages, you have to go to that page, and when you enter, click the like that reads “firefly”. Its pretty self-explanatory, but I’m just mentioning it because it wont take you directly to the firefly section.

It's that space in the pathname that confounds some browsers. I removed the %20 and subsituted a real space, whereupon "reload" worked fine.

Nice caps, by the way.

It looks like you got some caps of Serenity from others, but i can make some pretty good caps, thanks to the DVDs I got from another fabulous Firefly fan. Anyway, if there is anything in particular you want and haven't found yet, I'd be happy to get it. You can e-mail me at reilly1122@yahoo.com

Or if anyone wants any for a web page, I'd be happy to provide them. I'm not keeping a web page right now, so I can't put them up myself, but I'm happy to share.

Kaythryn again, I love you. If it were at all possible to kiss you through the net I would. So this will have to do.

You want me to send you a wish list of screencap wants? I'll warn you it will be awfully large.

Yes, yes, yes. Gimme. No promises that you'll get it, but it'd give me an idea of what to look for. Thanks a bushel and a peck.

Agree most wholeheartedly that Kaythryn is an exceedingly shiny soul for teaching herself to do this complicated thing out of sheer love of Firefly and her fellow fans (a little alliteration).

Two requests leap to mind: the first is for a lovely side view of Serenity in TTJ, right before Simon and Kaylee's "crime" conversation. You know the one.

The only other one is, if it is possible, to mayhap post some pix in a larger format, so that I can enlarge them (say, to desktop [1280 X 1024] proportions) without so much loss of resolution. In a perfect world...well, FF would still be on the air. Okay, in a near-perfect world, some of the same shots from Kaythryn's site could be re-posted in the aforementioned larger format (mayhap sent to her by REILLY1122?). Hey, aim high.

Again, thanx so much for these!

Keep flyin'!

Are you out there?
Are you able to get some screen caps that are larger than mine? I might be able to... but I don't know how. If you can I'd really be interested in getting a few for my site and for Noocyte. Thanks.

Whoa, good timing! I was just about to head off to the arms of Morpheus (something about a white rabbit...), and caught your message, Kaythryn. Most sweet of you to follow up in this wise, and to think of li'l ole me in the process!

Hey Kaythryn I got done capping some of the vids at the Fox website. Most notably I capped three pics of blueprints for Serenity's fore corridor and the bridge. Since I haven't gotten a e-mail back from Haken on how to post them on this site I wanted to know if you wanted them. So do you?
