Oh man. it's no secret that I never liked any of Firefly's canon ships, but this vid just completely drew me in and actually made Mal/Inara make sense to me, which - believe me - was no mean feat. I loved the movement in this piece, the shots that you chose and how they flowed into each other.
OH WOW!!! How on earth did you do those transitions? They are so flawless and gorgeous!!! Especially with the subtle colour changes. Wow, I'm in awe. My favourite is 3:01 - the background changes on her before she disappears out of it. So cool. And then that look is echoed in the later sequences.
3:19 - I love the perspective of the shot of her there, it really looks like she's on the screen. And I love how she faded in and out of the static like that.
3:54 - loved the subtle flares on the drums there, and how the thrusters fade as the music fades.
Gorgeous colour schemes. I also thought it was interesting how, when it turns bluer and bluer toward the end, it seems to signify the blue colours of Serenity, acknowledging that the story doesn't

Thanks Nicky. It's good to know that the vid works on someone who should be immune to the charms of Mal/Inara. Personally I preferred the Inara/Kaylee subtext and the Mal/Zoe comrades in arms thing but they will have to wait for other vids. I do have a soft spot for Mal/Inara though.
As for the transitions they are soft gradient wipes. I think they turned out rather well. The titles were made using the "shine" plug-in and keyframing the movement. I'm not sure how you would simulate that using premiere's own effects but there are definitely other light ray type plug ins that would do the same job.
As for the colours. the abundance of blue in the movie is precisely the reason I choose not to include any footage from it in this video. Inara's space is rich red and gold and Mal's is more subdued blue and brown. It is no wonder they could never get together.
wow charmax, this is a great video. i realllly love the bit where she is on the platform and disapears as mal is watching. i just think it looks awesome and the concept is neat :)
