Getting to the Root of Rootclip

Here's how it all works:

  • We start Chapter 1 of a new story with a short clip.
  • Users shoot their version of the next chapter and submit it.
  • Everyone votes on their favorite and the Judge's panel counts for 50%.
  • The video with the highest percentage of votes wins - submitter will compete for grand prize.
  • We move on to the next chapter and the submissions and voting starts all over again!

Not sure where you fit in?

We hate to stereotype, but odds are you fall into one of these groups:

You Watch Videos

Your job is simple: watch videos and vote on which video you think should continue the story!

  • The community vote makes up 50% of a submission's total score.
  • The Judge's vote makes up the other 50%.
  • Comment on videos and argue the finer points of filmmaking. You know you want to!
We promise it's fun, so start voting!

You Make Videos

So you think you're the next Scorsese? Submit a video and prove it!

  • Keep it under 2 minutes and be sure to advance the story in some way.
  • You win if you rake in the highest percentage of the total votes.
  • A chapter winner gets a cool Rootclip t-shirt. Chapter winners can compete in the final chapter for a shot at the Grand Prize!
