Judges' Votes
I liked the maintenance of continuity with the continuation of the cell phone conversation on the bench by "Mark." The cutting back to the victim's (Kevin) torture keeps the tension and mystery moving forward; what is his fate?
The introduction of "Easy Annie" and what that portends is another avenue of story development. What does she know about the victim?
This submission seemed the most plausible and allows for story development.
Clever and original way to advance the through story (without resorting to anything as cliched and trite as a "dream" or other stiff and all-too-cautious continuations of the narrative). And the humor in the crosscutting to the shots of kidnap victim was also clever. Some nice camera angles, too. Finally, the closing scene is filled with possibilities for the next round. Bill Larsen
Not sure I like where the story is going - but that's not my call, is it. Like the close-ups and variety of shots. Some focus problems that detract from scenes on the bench, and audio problems you will want to work on in the future. Watch for continuity in the little things (look at the bench/phone/paper sequence). Liked the continuance from the root to this sequence and the variety of locations. (Also, having someone wallop Shane in the head is always a plus!).
I love it when something goes in a completely different direction than where I think it should. You had some creative angles in there too that you all pulled off well, his eyebrows actually were pretty funny while he was on the phone. The sounds coming from the man getting beaten were great and the idea that you might try to kill a man by shutting his head in the freezer repeatedly is grade "A" funny poop. I am interested in seeing what happens to both guys. This was some good stuff.

This is actually pretty funny

Awesome you guys! Shane, you are too funny!
That's good stuff. Impressive.

nice!! definitively something that stepped out of the typical kidnapping story.
funny!
Shocking and Hilarious! Dadaesque in its undertones. John nails the character. The girl looks hot but I'm not wholly convinced. Shane gave the character of guy in jacket a believable and utterly human gay twist. Bravo!
I liked it up until the call from easy annie. I thought your acting was really good, and everything was going well until....
hell yea
Good Stuff
Very well done.
Again well done,,
This was pretty bad...how is it number 1?
well your a noobasaur so you wouldn't understand anyways
Funny and creative. Great job!
Cute :-). It was an interesting take on the possible story direction. A light, humorous angle on what could otherwise be a grim story... I like it and it does make me curious to see what happens next, so I can congratulate you on the fact there is a decent cliffhanger.
I look forward to seeing more...
LOL. Good job! Continued the story from where it left off, and ties in with the title "Identity Theft".
Nice work. Storytelling is a bit disjointed and at times difficult to follow. Good comedy.
OK
Very funny guys. Definately stole an identity, Good job!!
Not sure why this won. It's slowly paced, jump cuts all around, crappy audio cuts...
Thank god for the judges.
Congrats guys!
there weren't too many votes by the same people this morning right before the voting period was over or anything....
yeah interesting repeat voting on this video!

are you serious? "cliched and trite" are pretty obnoxious terms considering the fact that you have free will to take the script wherever you want. Terrible attempt at calling out and/or making the other teams feel inferior in my opinion. Also a terrible excuse for a teacher if he honestly picks sides and critiques in this form.
would have been better getting a blind mute, deaf and dumb person to judge this.
utkguy and simsimsalabim: a couple of noobasuars who love their nooberry pie.
This was undeniably the strongest entry. The story contained excellent wit and a superb cliff-hanger. As a submitter on the original rootclip website, I hope the regulars over there take something away from this clip. Good job, ignore the idiotic batter by some of these fools. You did well, keep it up!
lol "happy halloween!"
