Out of all the videos I watched (and there were many, and they were cute) this is the ONLY one that kept my attention all the way through. It definitely gets my vote.
CUTE!!!!! I liked it!
awesome! wow, that’s sooooo cool!!!!
Amazing! It was very creative .
Great Video. I vote for this one!
Thank you to everyone who supported us in this competition! It was really exciting to see the votes come in and to read your encouraging comments.
I’d like to espescially thank my brother Timothy who is the actor in the video and who helped design and operate the course (he was the one who first jokingly suggested shooting the rocket out of his window which led me to the idea of using it in the chain reaction).
I’d also like to thank my Mom for sending out the news to multiple homeschool e-mail loops, my brother Michael for spreading the word to his friends, Abe and Sylvia, my grandparents, for their support, my friend Jack M. and his family for all their support, Mrs. Adams for her huge assistance in contacting voters, Mrs. Johnson for spreading the word about it, Mrs. Vandermark who is my academic counselor at NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) for all her support, and of course Timberdoodle for putting this great contest on.
You can watch a high-quality version of the video at: http://www.TrekSoftware.org/Video/Timberdoodle_Commercial.wmv (it takes awhile to buffer)
Also, if anyone out there is interested, I do provide video filming and production services as part of my computer assistance business and you can see more information about that and my other services on my website at http://www.HackettstownComputerRepair.com/Video.html
This is the one I vote for. Very nice music to emphasize the progress. Do another!
A very creative production, we loved it.
Very impressive! I loved it…can’t wait to show my kids! Congratulations…well deserved for all your hard work!
This is fantastic! What a creative endeavor! I Love It!! Can’t wait to see more. Keep up the great work!
The complexity of the machinations and the simplicity of the concept were a perfect combination. Congratulations.
Fantastic! Fun to watch, and has a positive message, too! I vote for #9 Daudelin!
This was so well done. I had boys running to see it from all over the house and now they’re requesting that we watch it again! Thanks.
We are glad you won. This is a ver good video with plenty of work put in to it. Congratulations!
Very creative submission by the Daudelin Family. I vote for #9!
This video was amazing! Just goes to show you how creative our homeschooled kids can be when they have great products to work with!
Very, very cute and creative. How did you get that boot to fall over? I like this one.
Hi Merry,
In the video, the car flying out the window is what knocks into the boot causing it to fall down onto the ignition pad for the rocket.
very good job on your latest video only a handfull of people can do what u did on this video. agian great job. todd@sharon
That was a really good video! I thought it was really creative =). This definitely has my vote!
This is so super! I have been trying to get it to play for the past half hour. (Had to see what beat the cute sheriff I voted for.
) For some reason, the page wouldn’t load the first dozen or so times I tried. And it evidently did that for me the first time, too, because I’d never seen it before. If I had, I would have voted for it. Excellent! I dearly love Rube Goldberg machines of all kinds, and this one is pretty impressive. Video and narration was excellent, too.
We recognized every toy! Excellent video. It brought back wonderful memories for our boys who are now 15, 16 and 17.
