Great Job.

9/11/2008 at 10:53 a.m. by killerrobotninja

haha, good references. 8 entries, is that a record?

9/11/2008 at 11:50 a.m. by FungusRidden

Congratulations are in order for being the first video to include a character named "Shredder." I knew something vital was missing from this Rootclip still...

Great camera work and lighting, awesome writing and acting... This entry is pretty stacked indeed! I may cast it my vote, if for no other reason than to include "The secret of the ooze!" in Chapter 6. :P

Thanks for entering! I enjoyed this entry immensely. ^_^

i think it ties for a record, KRN. Chapter 3 of the last rootclip had 8 entries as well! quick, we need a 9th!

9/11/2008 at 1:10 p.m. by jennieangeline

Witty dialogue. nice twist, good references. You got my vote :-)

9/11/2008 at 2:17 p.m. by snaHHans

Well it says 9 entries on the right.

9/11/2008 at 3:54 p.m. by jenner4410

I don't know. My vote's still up in the air. What ever happened to Casey Jones choking J.Shredder?

I too am a fan of the ooze. I must say you do have my vote.

OKay - this is clip number three that I've watched...the name was short and sweet "Abduction". I thought the filming was good, but again, it was almost like I'm watching the same story in these three clips ("No Place To Run", "Wrong Place, Wrong Time") - just the people have changed, but the story is basically the same. Girl gets abducted, guys split - not too much happening in any of them. I guess the Jericho look alike at least had more bombs in it's future.

There is a great twist at the end of this segment. Who would have thought!!!

9/11/2008 at 5:57 p.m. by JackStopIt

TMNT!!

badass!

9/11/2008 at 6:06 p.m. by morgo

god.

NICK IS SO HOT!!

9/11/2008 at 6:52 p.m. by davidmoon

I really like this one! It stays true to the very first clips characterizations.

9/11/2008 at 7:10 p.m. by messinarick

Great film! I love the Shredder guy...lol.

9/11/2008 at 7:29 p.m. by tereselw

Excellent...I love the Shredder guy too!

9/11/2008 at 11:33 p.m. by blm9146

It was good. Thought the actors were great. Suspenseful music!

9/12/2008 at 1:13 a.m. by bobmcgee

Very nice. It was funny, yet kept the story line going. The end was a bit out of no where though, but it leaves off at a good spot for the next chapter.

9/12/2008 at 1:29 a.m. by Daisy

Really good! Loved the unexpected end of the chapter.

9/12/2008 at 10:32 a.m. by marilynb

Like it, love the suspense!

9/12/2008 at 10:33 a.m. by Ohhhh

OMG TMNT! lol, I totally didn't even realize it! Nice catch JackStopIt! LOVE the glowing green ooze, how you do that? Love the references, you guys really paid attention to all the other chapters and did a nice job of incorporating them into this one. So far you gots my vote if only for the sake of the turtles

9/12/2008 at 2:16 p.m. by Raph

wow i really liked this one. esp the TMNT referance. I too relaly liekd how not only was the production value high, but you incorporated the past entries. It really helped pull them together.

I liked the twist and where it would take the 6th chapter. Good job, you have my vote

9/12/2008 at 3:09 p.m. by beamer6694

HAHA....This is pretty good. Nick, I didn't realize u could act....HA HA.....u have my vote

9/12/2008 at 5:01 p.m. by FordPrefect

I really like this one. The TMNT references might have been a little over the top but hey, there can't really be too much Ninja Turtles. I'm really curious about where they are planning on going with this.

What really makes me like this one is the higher level of production quality as opposed to many of the others. Good crisp dialogue, clean camera work and great lighting.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm guessing they just used A BUNCH of glow sticks for the glowing stuff.

I really like how these guys went against the grain and used something not done by Kevin Macleod for the music.

9/12/2008 at 5:34 p.m. by Ohhhh

Glow stick huh? Smart, shake em up, cut em open and boom, green glowing ooze. Thanks Ford

9/12/2008 at 5:54 p.m. by ILoveGabe

I LOVE GABE. (you dont know who this is)

9/12/2008 at 6:42 p.m. by killerrobotninja

the casey and ryan guys are good actors. I like the banter a lot. Good timing. This one has some of the best acting in rootclip history, imo.

9/12/2008 at 7:28 p.m. by davidb

liked it alot

9/12/2008 at 8:08 p.m. by PantsMan

Loved it, Great job guys. The writing is unparralelled in this segment. The other clips dont even compare. The competition visually pretty tuff but i love these characters and the way the story turns.

Nice job, got my vote

9/13/2008 at 8:35 a.m. by snildesign

Great writing. Strong execution. 9!

9/13/2008 at 2:18 p.m. by privatehuff

Does anyone say anything about shredder before KC says "wait.. your name is shredder?" ?

9/13/2008 at 3:19 p.m. by Anastasie

The last line was my favorite! It was great :)

9/13/2008 at 7:05 p.m. by killerrobotninja

yeah, that shredder line bothers me too. Is that what his nametag says?

9/13/2008 at 7:35 p.m. by Raph

yeh you can read it on the name tag, its just really suttle

9/13/2008 at 10:41 p.m. by sandygoode

Very good acting. That actor that played Shredder must have been a professional. Great Job guys.

9/14/2008 at 1:08 a.m. by jhonnyonthespot

so bad guys now wear name tags ?

9/14/2008 at 2:04 a.m. by Raph

yes i can see how a poor attempt at flash was a better option.

9/14/2008 at 3:01 p.m. by jillmessina

That was the best! The guy who played Shredder deserves a big Hollywood contract! He's was so convincing and soooo HOT!!!

9/14/2008 at 5:56 p.m. by Sunshine

I think im with jillmessina on this one....

And concerning the film, i def think its the best. Great acting on all parts, had to turn up the volume a little but i really enjoyed the dialog and the way it shot was very skillful

9/14/2008 at 6:52 p.m. by hjanefonda

woo hoo!

9/14/2008 at 6:54 p.m. by sooperdooperpooperscooper

For Reals? Like there is any other contender...

9/14/2008 at 7:04 p.m. by robbycaradine

haha awesome.

9/14/2008 at 7:08 p.m. by alex_Betterton

aw man i love the secret of the ooze idea in this. Such a throwback.

9/14/2008 at 7:13 p.m. by bryceanderic

definitely can't read his nametag, even in fullscreen, I was wondering about that as well. I like the banter in the beginning

9/14/2008 at 7:15 p.m. by davidmoon

Took me awhile, but I voted for this one. Good job guys!

9/14/2008 at 7:16 p.m. by alex_Betterton

well the nametag is kinda funny. better than him speaking in 3rd person.

9/14/2008 at 7:29 p.m. by JBonior

Yeah, that's why we went with the name tag...we were gonna have an insert but I dunno, just wasn't working either, so oh well. And thanks davidmoon and everybody else voting for us, we appreciate it!

9/14/2008 at 9:27 p.m. by angelinejennie

Great Job! Really liked the story line and surprise ending

9/14/2008 at 9:56 p.m. by sdecarlo

The humor always gets my vote! Great writing and acting. Guess I'm just an NR fan.

9/15/2008 at 12:25 p.m. by bryceanderic

Thanks for the advice Ryan, you're awesome!

9/15/2008 at 2:42 p.m. by jhonnyonthespot

I can be a bitch somtimes I'll admit it ,but I'm being honest when I say I can't understand how you did not get a judge vote!

9/15/2008 at 3:45 p.m. by rabidpixy

Great video! :D Ninja turtle references for the win!

9/15/2008 at 4:02 p.m. by jennieangeline

oh well, no judges votes, life goes on. we had a blast making it. we'll be back :-)

9/15/2008 at 5:47 p.m. by FungusRidden

I hope so. I wanted to give my condolences to you guys for sticking it out and not getting any love from the judges. You did well, and even if I couldn't read Shredder's name tag, you had smart ideas and THAT takes something more than a camera and know-how.

Just one thing, though... What exactly was the secret of the ooze??? ;)

I anticipate casting more votes to your team in the future. ^_^
