NEW VIDEO: Into the Black Christmas Special

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 05:34:52 -0600

Well, this is our present to you this merry holiday season.

It's the Into the Black Christmas Special.
Using a quick script written by Damien, we met up and filmed this one evening for your viewing pleasure, working until 3 AM to get it done. Damien directed, MatthewC shot and edited, Sammy provided emotional support and Sera added a much needed feminine touch to the ship. The Captain, well, he was in his bunk. For such a short unplanned project, it turned out quite excellent.

Merry Christmas fans, enjoy.

Pickup screen captures for your viewing pleasure

To show that indeed, we did do something this weekend I've provided a few sample screen captures from the pickups we shot you. No editing or color correction was done to this stuff.

Sample screen captures

I've got a little treat here. It's a few sample screen captures that haven't been editored or corrected in any way, but it's just to show you something from the production.

We've shot more footage since than which I'll be sure to grab some pictures from to wet your appetites, and hopefully a mini-teaser sometime down the road. I'm excited to show you these pictures as a lot of hard work went into creating the shots and getting them just right(at least most of the time), and I'm hoping that these smalls glimmers will maybe give you just a bit of the how good it is really going to be.

In the meantime, throw your comments around, and I'd love to hear fan's opinions on what you feel made the cinematography so good in Firefly, and what makes camerawork "Fireflyish". We've pretty much got it covered but quite simply, I enjoy reading anything about cinematography and your thoughts and opinions do count.
