Well, folks, wasn't sure where to post this exactly, so I'll just do it here. I'll be out of town for about 3 weeks for a job, so I won't be posting on here for that time, unless I can manage to find some sort of public net access in Rock Springs WY (50/50 shot at best). HOWEVER, as soon as I have everything set up in my new home, I will prob'ly be back on here, and annoying the hell out of everyone with excessively long rants ;D
Just so ya know, in case you missed it in one of the other topics, I am working on a promo video that I hope should be available by the middle of August, as well as some opening credits, which'll happen..... shit, I don't know, there's still a coupla tech issues to deal with... but ANYway, I've already dedicated myself to those projects, for myself if for no one else, and I can't wait to show you all my ideas!
In the meantime, I'd like to leave a question for all of you, which might help me once I'm ready to edit this sumbitch: being as Grace and Tobit are original creations, and thus have no archival "Angel" video footage from which to splice their marquees, how would you recommend I include them in the opening creds? I'm already planning to do an episode one set with just Angel, Spike, and Illyria, and possibly a second one adding Andrew in the mix, but how should I work in the other two?
You have three weeks to think about the answer, starting..... NOW.
TTFN, ThePowers

Unless anyone here has some sort of influence they haven't told the rest of us about yet ( If you do get on the @#&$ phone and get Helen and Alan her this minute, @$#%$@$# it!!) youll probably be stuck with stills downloaded from the net. I cant see any other way around this... unless... we hire some look alikes and a cheap-ass film crew...we could hire a whole cast of look alikes and a cheap-ass crew and really make this thing... nope I think youre stuck with stills. ;D

Inyan does the Soul-Dance, which looks alot like a chorus line doing the Macarena collided with a chorus line doing the Funky Chicken would look, if you held them up-side down.
Hey that didn't hurt that much, God Spike you are such a baby!

The more I think about it, the more I think that Grace will never achieve full-cast member status. She'll be too infrequent. She'll be around a lot, but less than Amber Benson on Buffy - and she only got in the main titles when she died.
As for Alan Tudyk - can you get images off of Firefly?

That might work, I just dont think the clothing would work. I sort of always thought of Tobit as a snappy dresser.

First off, THANK YOU PowersThatBe for taking on the colosal task of creating some opening credits. Okay, for Tobit and Grace you could use some images of Alan from Firefly, seems like the best thing to do. I'm going to agree with Drew. I don't think that until the third arc she will be around that much (excluding Ep. 5 of course). So yeah, she could remain a Guest Star. One final piece of advise. Just to avoid legal issues and some-suches. It might be a good idea if at the very you add a message like: "These credits are fake, created by Inyan for a virtual Season 6 of Angel" or something like that. Even if it is visible for only a few secs. Just to avoid those pesky lawsuits.

Actually, as long as we used their footage, they could sue the shit out of us if they wanted. Generally they won't if we're not being a nuisance or charging money and if they did take any action, they would first send us a C&D letter -which we would promptly abide to and thus avoid losing our shirts and living in boxes for the rest of our lives. I would advise putting a disclaimer before the credits saying: NOTE: THIS IS A FAN-MADE CREATION IN SUPPORT OF A NON-PROFIT FAN-FICTION "SEASON SIX" OF FOX'S "ANGEL" SERIES. THIS IS NOT FOR SALE OR PROFIT. PLEASE SUPPORT FOX AND ANGEL BY BUYING ANGEL SEASONS 1-5 ON DVD AS AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA.

Here's a little wacky story:
Man learns he's dead, thanks to blind ex-wife
July 16, 2004
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian taxi driver got a rude shock when he discovered his blind ex-wife, who thought he had died in an explosion, had him buried in a Moscow cemetery, a newspaper reported on Thursday. ADVERTISEMENT
Oleg Lunkov learned of his apparent death when he applied for a passport and was told he died in a bomb blast on Moscow's metro on February 6. His ex-wife thought he was on the train, but being blind, she got her mother to identify the remains.
"I thought, 'I hope they didn't bury me on my birthday'," Lunkov told the Moscow Times after visiting his grave in southeastern Moscow. "But it turns out they did."
The grave has been exhumed by police investigating his wife for possible fraud.
Lunkov's name still appears on prosecutors' official list of the 38 people who died in the explosion.

I changed my avatar to the Robot Devil from Futurama.
But I couldn't part with my long-time Firefly avatar so I just stuck it in my signature.
So in summary I was bored and made a stupid post. WOO-HOO!
