We shoot the first 'chapter' in a story. You (the users) are then to shoot the following chapters, each one continuing the story started by chapter 1, or the 'rootclip' (clever, I know). The user community votes on the submissions and every 2 weeks a new chapter contest begins. There are 4 chapters that are open to the public, with the 6th and final chapter acting like a 'finals' of sorts. The chapter 2,3,4 and 5 winners are the only ones eligible to submit a video for the final scene, which will be chapter 6 and take home the grand prize.
We've upped the prizes too. The chapter winners (bi-weekly) receive a $500 VISA gift card, and the 'final scene' winner gets the pleasure of meeting Michael Moore. Yes THAT Michael Moore, and it will be at the Traverse City Film Festival in Traverse City, MI August 1-3. We cover flight, room and food, so just bring your pretty face and a friend. Here is the video for Chapter 1, and it's your job to continue this story at rootclip.com
