late to the party

Apr 16, 2006 17:00

So, courtesy of siochan, I have now at last seen Firefly. All of it. Great show, really. I can finally understand why everyone was so pissed off about it being cancelled.

Also saw Serenity. ( cut for unpopular opinions and spoilers )

fandom: firefly

Yours isn't actually an entirely unpopular opinion -- I know a couple of people who just consider the movie an AU (not out of hatefulness, which I see even more HP fans doing with HBP -- but because it contradicts canon: Simon breaking River out, Mal not thinking of the Tams as crew, Wash, etc). For me, I can't watch it: that whole "leaf on the wind" scene turns me into a quivering, blubbering mass of ow that doesn't redeem all the other cool parts.

And meep! What's happened this time?

Yeah. I don't have hate for the movie, it just...didn't do it for me. Except for WASH, who died for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WTF STABBITY. Gah. I much prefer the way the series ended -- sure, it shouldn't have ended, because omg so many loose ends left hanging, but on the other hand, that's what fandom is for, right? Tying up loose ends, and such.

With the proposal, I just...keep asking the wrong people to design, apparently. A lot of really good designers seem to be taking fall quarter off due to burnout. And now I've got less than a week left, and I don't have all the designers I need, and suddenly committee wants preliminary designs BY FRIDAY, which they've NEVER asked for before, and there's just. no. way. And I feel like I'm working twice as hard as any of the other proposers, and it's not getting me anywhere. Blah.

What designers do you need? There may be people I know that you don't know to ask.

I need a lighting designer. Badly. If you can think of anyone, please tell me. I've asked about five people so far, all nos for various reasons.

Try Graham Fetterman. cavin[at]uchic. He's really into lighting and would probably be extremely enthusiastic about the project. Tell him I told you to give him a try.

Also, he looks like Wash.

Already asked him, but he's on Hannah Kushnick's proposal.
