A decent film editor could easily have done all of it up to the last 2 seconds, filming the psychologist guy him or herself. It wouldn't be difficult to superimpose the Summer stuff on top of that, especially since the static and whatnot are there to help cover any foibles.
But, it still requires a clip of Summer coming right up to the camera and saying "I can see you." Though I'm willing to believe the voice could be faked, if we can find a clip that works close enough to that line for believable dubbing.
Nah, I doubt it's faked (although there are some weird photography things going on). I'll have a look through the original shooting script tomorrow(*) to see if that scene was there - maybe they were doing some 'test' shooting originally?
(*) The publishers of the Serenity script book have sent me a review copy, and it's SHINY. Production photos, in depth interviews (Zoe was originally a man) etc.
See, I'd say I think it's definitely faked. The guy playing the psychologist has some really weird issues going on with his physical acting (for example, it's clear he's standing up as he falls, his body moves upward, not very believable) that wouldn't be in a professional film.
Though if that film is in the script, I'll eat my words. I think it's faked, though. I think somebody will find the Summer bit somewhere, or something very close to it.
Wh-huh?
I bet you're quoting Wash here.

If I am, it's entirely unintentional.

Why couldn't he be trying to stand up, maybe break free of whatever psychic hold River may have on him, before he finally collapses? I don't think that's a sign of unprofessional acting.
In any case, it's spreading. Last night, it had about 2,800 views and was number 8 in the Just Weird section. Now it's got about 5,000 more views and is number 4, poised to overtake "Breastfeeding the Cat."
I thought it was a Buffy quote, ita.
Zoe was indeed originally a man, according to Uncle Joss(tm). I'll have to take a scan of that bit. It's a really, really great book (sorry, "Visual Companion") for a change.
By the way, Allyson, I presume you are already on the LA screening list?
Kevin funny.
Also, I really dislike ifilm. It never works properly for me.
