Chapter 3 - "Spirit Casing"

Judges' Votes
Way to go this time guys. It was odd and I had no idea what was going on. A step into the strange is always nice. I think its common place now for Television shows to start going somewhere and not really know where they are going to end up. I have to figure writing a continuing plot by the seat of your pants is extremely hard to do. Rootclip is all about just that. You all went in a very odd direction with this and I am interested in seeing how you write yourself to the next point. I'm even more interested in seeing, if you win, if the other groups can write there way to the next point with the introduction of something very unexpected. The editing is very nice, but be sure that plot can be sustained for more than two minutes without the need of something so visually shocking at the end of each scene. Great job this week, 1,000 million billion points for not being afraid to be the odd ball out.

Woah, definitely an expected ending there. Good stuff.
Sick lighting, not sure how it advances the storyline though. And how did Mark not see the guy when he came in?
super creepy... very interesting.
unexpected
Set aside, this is a great entry (one of the best).
But following along the story, it does not. Mark, the main character, needs to stay the same across chapters and here he does not. No, not because he's suddenly asian - that's fine (performance over continuity), but because in the winning second entry he's cynical to what just happened and here he fits right into this creepy scene, expecting that he was walking into something bad.
Other than that, excellent entry!

I disagree, I think it's completely plausible that his attitude towards the situation would change as he actually entered the room, and his surroundings were not what he expected them to be. Plus I can only assume he sees the wheelchair-clad man in the room. So he gets a little nervous, and realizes he SHOULD have seen it coming. Seems in character to me.
great job guys.
jorel, your soundtrack is awesome!
that last 'scene' gives me chills!
I really like the camera work (rack focus from gun to face), and good job with the editing guys (girl as a ghost at the end).
A little weak at first but from about halfway on it ROCKED. Great acting and editing.
at fifty seconds in is that a boom mic operator shadow on the wall? I think this is really creepy.
super creepy, great ending.
Some wonderful work here. Loved the rack focus in the first couple of shots. Nicely staged to begin with. Then you lost me. With your actor off camera, there is no reason not to re-do the audio until it is understandable. Story also takes us off into uncharted paths (not sure how it relates to identity theft).
This was garbage It had nothing to do with the story. completely random!
