Just in case you missed it on Twitter, Facebook or Whedonesque: Jane Espenson, one of the original Firefly scribes, and Tim Minear, Firefly’s showrunner, were kind enough to sit down together and do a panel on the QMx track at the recent Serenity Con in Los Angeles. The resulting hour was pure gold. Shiny writer’s gold full of good advice, interesting opinions and much hilarity.
We got permission to share the panel with you in its entirety on YouTube, and have collected the six-part series for your convenience below (be sure to watch for Adam Baldwin’s brief cameo):
Tim, by the way, ordered one of our Big Damn Replicas the minute he saw her in person at the show. And Jane has the very first Inara’s Shuttle dioramas we ever made sitting on her desk. Both diehard Browncoats, for sure!
They were so awesome! Very funny and so informative! I learned a lot. It was very interesting to hear how they go through completely different processes when writing scripts.
I was so excited to be there. Talking with them afterward was AMAZING! I told Tim that Out of Gas was my favourite and that it qualified as a movie in my eyes, simply based on the intricacy of the timelines and the stylisitc filming approach. He said it was his favourite too and he agreed that it was a very cinematic episode. ^___^
Shiny. I love video and audio goodness.
I’ve been meaning to ask this for some time, and now that you have the Firefly license in your grubby little hands, is it possible to create a CD or sound file for the fans with all of the many sound effects used in the show? I see people ask about this on forums all over the Cortex all of the time.
