Scoring
Judges' Votes
Actually, not a terrible effort. This is probably your best submission I've seen, rockness team. It is a shame that you don't put as much effort into it as other contributors, but at least you guys are dedicated in at least producing entries.
The stop-motion animation was good.
Since it's the ONLY submission, I feel I have no choice but to exercise my predilection towards dereliction and vote my conscience. This entry gets my vote for it's unique inclusion of, ummmmmm, claymation.
There are a few very funny bits in here, a germ of a good idea and of course some superb claymation. But nothing else really works, from the inexplicable setting to the ropey acting and editing. But my real question is: Was that a Parker/Stone homage or rip-off?
You guys definitely have the creative imagination to produce these clips. The claymation is pretty good, the terrorist video insert is funny, andthe special effects explosion of the dinosaur is good. The "story" is a bit loopy though, so concentrating on telling the story and moving it along should be your main focus. I would also say that you guys need to tighten the production so that the extraneous audio is gone, and finesse your edits a bit.

this is the worst rootclip ever
i think you mean it is the best ever made
Here I was trying to do my stop motion animation in peace, and somehow I ended up becoming the center point of a rootclip video... awesome.
hmmm....
sorry jake no offense i hope you dont hate me know
Haha, its cool. Twas funny and unexpected.
And that's a sweet Canon GL2 equipped with a Redrock M2 adapter in the background. Let's hope you guys win so I'll have a chance to use it sometime soon =)
Sorry Jake... you know, only the good die young.
X_X
that was funny but no vote 4 u, sry
Majorly lame... but very funny. i know i know... "Let the stupid video win for once..." I did like you stop motion, it reminded me of the good old days when I would watch Gumby. lol No offense rockness... but there isn't anything to putting together something like that. @JakusB- I'll try and get some people together and raise as ransome so that we don't have to vote for this! Hang on dude!
I vote for Bars and Tone!
LOL claymation ALWAYS cracks me up. I had to watch the begining 3 times. I'm going back to watch it again. Tiki Carol
@Bradley Thanks! I appreciate it... they haven't fed me in days, and I'm running out of things to talk about with the rats...
@ JakusB- So far no one is co-operating... I have $6.13... and I fond that in my couch... Use the rats as actors and make a video, anything will beat this...
@Render- Nice pic! I feel the same way about this chapter.
Oh. Jake's triple-dipping now. I see how it is. ;)
But seriously, this was the best entry you guys have submitted, and the stopmotion segments were awesome. Good thinking!
The camera-stealing gag was good, too. All around, nice concept at work here!
BUT... no more laughing during the shots! T_T Let us take care of that. You guys work on selling it as legit and we'll meet in the middle. I'm glad you had so much fun with this, though. I can honestly say that unless something epic comes in before the deadline, I'm probably voting for you. Nice work!
fungusridden are you serious i love the positive feed back but i wasn't expecting any on this video so thanks dude and just for the record jake didn't know about this until i uploaded it.
dont hate on this this is funny shyt yah digg
will no one challenge us
@Eric, you can still make this a blog post, but I thought everyone should see it as voting begins.

thats not how it happened
does this mean we win by default? why have a voting perod? what do you think jake?
This is the first time Rootclip will have a unanimous winner! Congrats?
Nice one Jakus.
And davidmoon said it would never happen...
haha we won! no way
this video was so gay that it was actually good. you've got to be pretty bad to make full loop but this one did it. congrats on making a terrible video but pulling it off.
YO!!!!!! we did it men, we f* did it, so just remember all u d-bags out there, we won, no one had the nuts to challenge us and now we get a rootclip T-shirt...... peace out : burglar numba two,
oh and jakus bakus- this doesent mean your off the hook
what are you guys bragging about the only reason we won is because we were the only one and "now we got a root clip t shirt" so
CHEAAAAAAAAA BOIIIII!
Hey rockness kitten, were bragging cause we won, and its not because we were the only vid, but because none dare challenge us!!!!
It's so bad it's good. Brilliant as a matter of fact. It has so many possibilities for chapter 5 (with Jakus now being released by the hostage takers now that they won). Truly I was surprised no one else loaded a clip. Can this story go to 6 chapters so I can have a shot at the 5th one? Tiki Carol
Holy crap!!!
cheaaaaa boiii
I feel embarrassed for Rootclip right now.
just for the record we planned on being crushed by any other videos that came up and we mostly made this video for fun so sorry for any inconvenience root clip people but you gotta admit a hostage situation is much more fun than some lame alien story. ha ha ha ha and just a suggestion if i were submitting for chapter 5 theres no way i would just let jake go i would increase the ransom and then leave the rest up to chapter 6.
Well. The high score record has been set. Good luck beating that. :O
good job dude. you just made it hard to continue the story. thanks alot >:(
ull get over it!
