Chapter 1 - "The Alien"
After arguing with her boyfriend, Lainey gets a visitor at her door. Is he really just a deaf traveler, wanting to get out of the cold? Or is there something much worse in store? Will this bring Lainey and her boyfriend back together? How will he protect her from the alien? Will the tea kettle boil over? It's all up to you!

@jaytaylorthe1 Our friends at Take Zer0 helped out in making this Rootclip. We're excited about what they're doing and think they are a perfect fit for what we've started at Rootclip.
Take a minute to check out their site. I'm pretty sure you'll find it useful and fun!
I see. Thanks David. This is funny, and I like that it has a completely different feel than all the other Root Clip videos. Excellent job on the Rhythmic Editing.
Hey guys, this is Sean from Take Zer0.
In all honesty, I wish we had more time to put into this, but the goal was to create something a little different to expand the RootClip audience even more :)
@ Sean
I went to your site, I ended spending about two hours surfing around. You guys have worked hard and put a lot thought and time into your stuff, good work. I could see you guys slowly becoming a real production company.
Tis good, but I felt it was a bit more amateurish than the rest of the previous chapter 1's. I'm glad rootclip is finally back... I needed something to do :D
and it's weird because if you look on their site, there are some high quality videos there. I guess like Sean said, He wishes they had more time...
Its a little slow. But Im excited for what will happen!
Whoop whoop!
Heh, no comments in 3 days and then theres two comments within one minute of each other, from people who have only voted once, and for the same video... What a coincidence.
Whoop whoop!
It's daytime, then suddenly night ... what's up with that? Oh yeah, we aren't supposed to critique these. :)
I agree with ya David, it does make it difficult to build off of... do we make the setting night time... or daytime? Or should we have it randomly bounce around between those two? I guess it gives us more options... =P
Maybe the shifting sunlight issue is being caused by the presence of the alien?!? :O
a coincidence that me and my boyfriend sit together when we are on our laptops and noticed that rootclip has a new story. Yeah...HUGE.
A surprise total eclipse of the sun ... maybe?
did anyone else notice what first prize for chapters 2-5 is
I heard that support from a big backing company of this site (namely the one at the bottom of the screen) was pulled. The prizes will seem a little skimpy for a while compared to what they have been in the past but, hey, people are still getting something for doing what they love and things will get better once a new sponsor is secured (and the tee shirts look pretty cool). We must remember to not get spoiled by what has been in the past. If the extravagant prizes from the past are the only reason people were submitting to this site, then I question their respect for the art of filmmaking (on an amateur level like this) . "Would you still do what you do even if you didn't get paid"?
@ThatGirl, haha I wasn't being serious.
And I agree with Knox. This site is about community, and making ourselves and everyone else better film makers. The prizes are just a side plus. Who cares if the prizes are a little weak? We are in the middle of an economic crisis. Give it a story or two, and RootClip will eventually find a new (and maybe even better) sponsor.
Haha, easy to say coming from the guy who just got a $2000 check in the mail. :P
You mean we can get paid for this stuff??? Hahaha!! Just kidding, but I agree that doing this simply for a little bit of cash or credit is hardly the best reason to enter. I don't expect to be good enough to win for a while but I've already received some fantastic feedback from other filmmakers that have helped me and I will continue to make entries as time and "actors" are available, even if I gotta "act" myself!!! Besides, my brother and I are the token "OLD GUYS" on the site! HAHAHA!!! That was freakin' priceless!!! Hope you all have a great new year and I look forward to making my CHAPTER TWO ENTRY soon!!! Good luck to everyone!
Looking forward to all of your submissions! :)
The day/night thing was supposed to be gradual, but I guess it wasn't that obvious. The story begins in the early evening and ends just after sundown.
Or (like fiercedeityys said) maybe it's because of the presence of the alien shrugs
I didn't find anything fishy about the time of day. ._.
The change of prize is fine, but could we please test out the Hey Dirtbag shirt as well? :< Or maybe a nice Jim logo? Those of us with one classic grey Root tee may not want to wear a second one around as well, or people will start suspecting that we don't do our laundry... ;_;
Hmm... I concur.
yeah and im sick of those cup with the lids that slip off someone should do something about them
hey i uploaded a video for chapter 2 but all i got was a cant find server thing whats the deal root clip people
I agree - a nice Cafe Press partnership is in order.
