After having seen the May prescreening I began work on a project that I just needed to do.

Select to view spoiler:

This isn't a vid that is just for the movie, or for Zoe or the crew, or even for Wash, but I intended it to be for us. Not just to grieve for a beloved character, but to remember how he lived, and his impact on the crew, and, of course, his impact on us the fans.

Be warned, the vid's title is mildly ironic.

Go to http://www.dreamsofthespider.com

/atgs/setup/atgsply/SPOILERS FOR SERENITY/ and right-click and save "a tiny grief song"

Tzegha, sweetie, it's seven in the morning and I so want to see this video you've made....but I'm getting that stupid "Exceeding Bandwidth" error.

Any hopes for a mirror site?
Or some other way I can see the vid?

finally, Haken's site is accessible again!

yes, my bandwidth is overloaded and I'm trying to get it bumped back up, but I haven't gotten word from RayHill in order to do so.

So for the interim, there is this link provided by the lovely Roscoe:

http://home.comcast.net/~rasincero/fanvid.asx

It's a playlist of five fanvids, three of which are Firefly fanvids that he found (which turned out to be mine) and 2 BSG fan videos.

Vid playlist is in this order:

(1) firefly: "Reavers" by Tzegha
(2) firefly: "The Very Act of Being" by Tzegha
(3) firefly: "a tiny grief song" by Tzegha (spoiler)
(4) bsg: "so cold" by breaking red
(5) bsg: "fine again" by breaking red

Hopefully I'll get my own site back on it's feet soon.

this site makes me hyperventilate! Slow page-loading, doesn't like my html tags, edit function sends me to a cannot-find-page, site logs me out, start over...

Those are really nice...
and I think you should put 'A Tiny Song of Grief' onto a CD for Alan Tudyk, because I think he would love to see it.

You know you could send it to him c/o Universal Pictures
or c/o the theater where 'Spamalot' is playing in NYC
(I think he is in that until Dec 1st)
thanks for sharing!

heh, I live an hour from NYC, I could stand outside the stage door every night until I see him, how wierd would that be?

:P

I already gave Wash a 'get well' card c/o Alan, I'm not sure about handing him a cd. What if he's a luddite? What if the cd doesn't play in his computer? What if he doesn't have a computer?

*works self into panic*

#1 I understood that AT comes out the stage door after EVERY show to sign autographs and even take pictures (I have friends who have seen the show and stayed afterwards to meet him)
#2 He may be a Luddite, but he is an actor and knows how to (I'm sure) borrow stuff from his friends...
I'm sure that if you burn it on a standard MP3 that he'll find someone who can play it for him on THEIR computer...
probably his agent
or someone at the office in this theater
(I worked at a theater as a bookkeeper once and I had up to date computer equipment when I was there)
I'd go for it my own self!

PS I understand that they give out 'standing room only tickets' if you go and stand in line early in the morning.... I didn't manage it when I was in NYC but I heard it was mostly a matter of getting in line a 6 am....

just a little note that this and all my other vids can now be found at http://www.dreamsofthespider.com

I never did get around to getting back into the city with a copy of this vid. Completely left my head, I was so busy after the last time I was in the city and gave Alan Wash's "get well" card :P

That Wash vid was great. Having no lyrics really makes it more emotional. Good job.. Not too sure about the B/W/negative effect.. but other than that, I really liked it.

Best video! I cried, as hard as I did in the movie the first time.

You have a gift with these you know. Your "Very Act of Being" is another one of my favorites.

Thank you for sharing.

It was absolutely beautiful and haunting. A perfect tribute.

Love, luck, and lollipops!

Frankie and GypsyLife, this is one of the reasons why I made this vid, so we could grieve, because the movie left most of us a little numb and in shock. Fictional character or not, I needed a good cry as well.

I'm glad you both liked it and hope the crying helped!

Thank you, Schmacky.

I did try to find a song with words, but nothing conveyed the right tone or message. This one, from "House of Flying Daggers" (go see it!!! One of the most beautiful love stories ever!), just really spoke of love and beauty and loss, and really allowed the whole focus of the vid (Wash) to speak for it(him)self. I also liked that without words, we can each bring our own pov's to interpreting what we need out of this vid. Words would just confuse the issue.

At first I only had the B/W effect once, and I really really liked it where it was by itself, but later I was informed of the Rule of Three. that if I had some flashy effect, I had to use it more than just once or else it would stick out. Since I couldn't bear to part with it (when I use it with Zoe hurt as Wash walks away from her offscreen), I used it twice more in what I thought were other key chapter breaks. The other two never worked quite as well, and I'm not sure why. Could have been a difference in the lighting of the scene that the effect reacted differently with, I'm not sure.

But other than that, I'm really glad you liked it!

Thanks again, FollowMal! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back on the boards. I've been editing more vids like a fiend, and I think my bum is atrophying!

Ah, you're one of the lucky ones who was actually able to cry while *watching* the movie. I almost envy that ("almost" because there's that whole embarrassing "wailing and sniffling in public" thing :P).

Again you are too kind, so I'll be sure to be popping back in to reread this whenever I start feeling low :D

I REALLY mean what I'm saying. I watch for you to post new vids and I whoop when I see you have. Thank you so much for your talent and sharing it with us! And message me if you want if you are feeling low, I'll explain again how "Very Act of Being" has comforted me and made me feel alive and fulfilled when I was low.
