I'm sure we're all familiar with the videos on YouTube.com (or at least the kinds there are). I've searched through them for (mostly) music videos using firefly/serenity clips. Then I started thinking, wouldn't it be fun to make one of my own? But where would I put it? I know! We can have a contest on the guild for them!

Rules:
*Must ONLY contain clips from Firefly and/or Serenity
*Must be ORIGINAL (no taping the "behind the scenes" and then putting it up)
*Music Video, reel of great quotes, mini-movie about a character, etc. are all acceptable
*Bloopers, out takes, behind the scenes, etc. is NOT acceptable (because they aren't original!)
*Try to avoid music with explicit lyrics. Basically, keep it all PG 13 (so nothing with "then I ------ that -----" you know?)
*Entries cannot exceed 5 minutes
*Post a link in this thread to your movie (where ever you uploaded it from)
*You can still post if you don't want to enter the contest, just say post that in your post
*All entries due by November 30th!
*Voting will be held from December 1 through the 3rd
*The winner will be announced on December 4th
*The winner will be awarded with 2,000 gold

If a lot of people start entering movies, I may just make a separate sub-forum just for movies guild members make! What do you guys think? Post ideas, questions, concerns, and (of course) movies!

Sounds cool! I've never made a fanvid before, but I've certainly wanted to. ^_^

Of course, it's a bit tough if you don't have the right software to import DVDs...

Is it OK if the lyric may have one or two swear words? Nothing really bad, just a couple thrown in there.

If I'm able, I'm going to try and make a Shindig-based vid. smile

Yeah, it can have a few course words. Just try to refrain from songs like "Get Low" you know? Also, if you can't rip it from the DVD, usually if you play it on your computer and then film it with a camcorder, the you don't get those lines you get when you try to film stuff on TV.
