Excellent work! I've been watching this for months but just now got an account. Breaking Benjamin and Firefly / Serenity go together beautifully. I really want to do videos like this, but I can't find any fair use clips and don't know how to rip from the blu-rays I own of the series and movie. This, the other Blow Me Away video, and the "All these things I've done" Firefly video will all be credited as inspirations if that's okay.
To be totally honest i thought the beginning was weak but it really picked up towards the end i made a serenity tribute too and im not sure if its on my channel yet or not originally youtube blocked it but it might be on now
Excellent choice of song too. Even more appropriate since this song was on the Halo 2 soundtrack, and Nathan, Alan, and Adam all did vocals for that game (as well as Halo 3 and ODST).
Too bad they didn't think to lure the reavers to an alliance fleet during the war they might of won awesome vid hope they do another movie mabey with another civil war or resistance or a fight against all the reavers .
I think Booke was an Operative and the best at it but something happen that made him retink his life and retired from that life but didn't leave a bad taste with the Alliance becasue of the fact that they still help him when he was shot.
Everyone figured that though. There are so many things that make it obvious that he was like the two assasins from the series. In the show the assasin even says something like "he's no shepard" i can't remember what though xD
I miss Wash and Shepard Booke. There was so much that could've been done with their characters. Especially Booke's past coming back to haunt him. "That ain't no Shepard".
Certainly by the way he described the way operatives get to a target. "They'll come at you sideways. Hit where you're most vulnerable." Everyone had a back story, and I would've loved to see his. I wonder if anyone has fleshed it out in some of the fan fiction?
I think Joss meant for it to always be a mystery, I kind of like not knowing. :) Besides at this point whatever he turns out to have been will probably dissapoint me. My imagination had been building it up.
If there is ever a followup to Serenity it might be a good plot line to follow as part of bringing down the alliance and exposing whatever role Blue Sun and Weyland-Yutani had in it's creation. Perhaps Book was a true-believer in his own cause like Mal was. Someone who had seen too much and lost their faith in what they were doing was right.
Another network? It's happened before. Or maybe it'll get a few years down the road and have a makeover like BSG? Either way, it's a fascinating story that just ended way too damn soon for our big damn heroes. I'm really holding out for the online game. I already know what I want my character to be (if it ever comes out).
no one would be able to "make it over" like BSG was though... 'cause this one actually is starting out GOOD. The original BSG had no redeeming qualities UNLESS you consider the time it was made. Then you can make exceptions and say it was ok for its time. *shrug*
I'd say that Nathan Fillion is probably closer to being the star although I think it was meant to include the enitre cast. The movie compared to the show though really did focus heavily on River and Mal.
Like I said in one of your previous work you have talent (CAsino RoyaLE), but would love to see you do some of your own material if you are a video/film student.
every time i hear this song i think of halo 2

Whoa, I just realized the lyrics, and a lot of it has significance to the movie, like the lyric
"I'll be the one to save her soul"= Simon trying to fix River
"Your covers blown, no where to go"= The Assassin killing all of Mal's allies
Good pick for Music!
