'Firefly' Visual Effects Team Releases 15th Anniversary Tribute

It's been 15 years since Firefly made it's debut. While the Joss Whedon series was short-lived, it quickly earned a cult following. Some die-hard fans (raises hand) are still hoping for a reboot and while that seems unlikely right now, in today's "reboot everything" world never say never. 

In the meantime, Firefly fans can relive some of the sci-fi series' best moments with this tribute video produced by Zoic Studios, the show's original VFX team. The series holds a special meaning for company, as it was the first series gig that put them on the map. Since then Zoic has moved on to work for shows like The Walking Dead, Legion, Game of Thrones, and Whedon’s own Avengers: Age of Ultron. From Zoic's Vimeo page: 

In honor of the 15th anniversary of Joss Whedon’s cult sci-fi favorite “Firefly,” we've launched a reel that celebrates the epic journey of Serenity and its valiant crew. The compilation highlights some of the best VFX work on the beloved show, which launched Zoic in 2002 and earned an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Visual Effects for a Series.” We dug into the archives to create this commemorative reel, rebuilding Serenity with the original team and put together a shiny new sequence followed by an assembly of some of the most beloved and quotable moments of the franchise.

The video features some classic sequences and beloved one-liners from the series, as well as some new shots of Serenity drifting off into space. I don't know about you, but even 15 years later I think the show looks a lot better than many airing today. Take a look. 

What are some of your favorite Firefly moments. Sound off in the comments below.
