vfxblog.com — Illusion Arts co-owner Bill Taylor talks to vfxblog about how he shot the miniature crash sequence for Serenity, and about his studio's digital matte paintings for the film. Great pictures and very informative for Firefly and special effects fans.

Crashed Serenity? What? I'm only on the third disc of the Firefly series and haven't seen the movie yet! I'm ruined.

You know, one story about Serenity/Firefly every week or so is not really that excessive. Go back to digging your precious AJAX stories.

I really enjoyed the movie. It was an excellent Sci-Fi. Looking forward to watching the series on DVD

Serenity is awesome. I think the lack of marketing and bad name for an action movie failed it.Only shot I didn't like in the movie was one mentioned in the blog "The Maya model and animation was done by Andrew Tucker". Damn you, Andrew, for your ugly model and pan down to Mr. Uni's place. I felt like I was looking at an XBOX CGI sequence.

It is interesting how they did that with real models not CG. I'm a huge fan of Serenity/Firefly.

Well that'd be when all the smart people leave digg and people who aren't smart enough to understand the complex characters in Firefly/Serenity like yourself don't leave.
