thephilman - June 27th @ 3:47 pm 54321

should be considered cuz it's one of the most creative

jackie - June 26th @ 10:28 am 54321

Halee - June 24th @ 3:55 pm 14321

delightful. really different.

goofinoff - June 23rd @ 3:30 pm 54321

Brilliant. As far as the comedic ads--watch em once, get the joke, then ho-hum. This is watchable again and again. Love it!

matt - June 21st @ 10:51 am 54321

It's not bad, but the comedic ads are what really get me going. This is cute, but I lose interest halfway through. Good effort though.

Ty - June 21st @ 1:25 am 32121

never get tired of this one!

cathy - June 20th @ 1:58 am 54321

Really clever and across the board appealing. Love it!

chris - June 18th @ 2:54 pm 54321

to simple

tom - June 17th @ 8:13 pm 14321

Classic! Great job!

bernie - June 17th @ 5:15 pm 54321

Brilliant in its simplicity. I think this is one of the best.

rafael - June 16th @ 11:01 pm 54321

I love your tips. I too enjoy genuine fresh air and spending time with family and friends. Great job. Love, Budget Betty and Delores

Budget Betty and Delores - June 16th @ 1:01 pm 54321

this is unique and memorable. (in a good way!)

kevinb - June 16th @ 12:02 am 54321

There is nothing not to like about this. Stands out.

john - June 15th @ 6:04 pm 54321

Very nice. Really professional looking, cute and funny. Loved it!

boobookitty - June 14th @ 10:38 pm 54321

This is so clever. I appreciate the unique look and the visuals. Really delightful. I hope you win!

barry - June 14th @ 2:01 am 54321

Easily one of the top videos here. Very cute - I love the animation style and music. It is a little long in my opinion, but it's still well done. It goes to show that sometimes less is more.

Melissa - June 13th @ 12:29 pm 43211

This looks like it was a lot of effort and work and its very good. You may not have one "best of the day" but as stated in the rules, that doesn't have any bearing over who win's overall. Nice work!

Yuijedi - June 13th @ 10:17 am 54321

George Nearon - June 12th @ 12:49 pm 54321

Hey, I just saw your latest post on my video. Thanks for the kind words! Although, no one can count their eggs before they hatch in contests like this....I think we'll see a whole flood of good videos in the next few days. Lots of people always wait until the very end to submit. Thanks again, and good luck to you!!!

Daneboe - June 10th @ 9:22 pm 54321

Doh! I meant to give you 5 stars...sorry!!!

Daneboe - June 10th @ 9:13 pm 54321

You know, it's funny...you think I'm going to win, and I think YOU'RE going to win. This video is by far my fav of the bunch. I think it's simple, clever, and really fun. Seriously, really great job!!! I love the animation.

Daneboe - June 10th @ 9:12 pm 32121

Thanks, Travis, for your nice post. Very, very interesting. I'll reply to it on mine, and get both of us five new stars, okay?

thephilman - June 10th @ 5:45 am 54321

Hey folks: I just posted an insanely long post on thephilman, so you can read the long version there. When they wrote to tell me I had not won "best of the day," they also said they were sending me a camera. So no petitions or protests necessary, though it does make me feel very happy that you are coming to my defense. Here's the deal. We all did our best. Kind of hurts when you put so much heart into something that doesn't win, but that's life. RealtorLefebvre I won't tell you what I said when I saw your video the same morning as mine went up because I would prefer to keep the profanity off my site, but I knew you were BIG competition. I admit I was depressed when you beat me, but I bounce back pretty fast. Now that I have let it go, I am just enjoying the contest and looking forward to seeing who will take the prize! Hope you don't mind if I give myself 5 stars :)

travi - June 9th @ 11:44 pm 54321

Doggone it! ALWAYS forget the stars and as we all know, the default is 3.....here's the 5 I meant to leave (which means I've averaged a 4, which is still too low for this video, but again I'm no math major). Hopefully it's the though that counts, right? : )

RealtorLefebvre - June 9th @ 11:30 pm 54321

I was one of the first people to comment on Travis' video and congratulate him on a job EXTREMELY well done. If Budget had truly "budgeted" awarding a Flip! camera for every day of the contest, I'm no math major but it seems to me there are some extra cameras lying around corporate headquarters....How about it people? Travis definitely deserves it, but I don't want to feel bad just because we submitted over the same weekend. Maybe an online petition at www.flipfortravis.com would do the trick. I'd be the first one to sign it. PS- Way to go on the Diggs! $1,000 wold buy many Flip cameras! Oh well...I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am with this!

RealtorLefebvre - June 9th @ 11:27 pm 32121

cartoon's cute...

Bonnie - June 9th @ 11:22 pm 14321

Travis, thanks for the nice comments and defense on my page. I left a nice sarcastic comment for the lady (or guy) who left the stupid comment. I am committed to taking your flipcamera case all the way to the supreme court, if necessary. I'm still scratching my head about that one. Poetic justice would be if you won the whole she-bang--your video is definitely a front-runner, if you ask me, provided that they're really just flat-out judging them based on the things that the rules say they are. Best to you. thephilman

thephilman - June 9th @ 9:53 pm 54321

You are very talented.

scott - June 9th @ 7:46 pm 54321

We clearly meant to give you five stars Travi, here's the real 5.

delaneycouple - June 9th @ 5:16 pm 54321

Back at cha Buddy. We really appreciate your awesome comments. Making that video was so much fun! Ok, so here's the deal...can you teach us some animation ;-)? You're video is great. Good luck our online friend.

delaneycouple - June 9th @ 6:49 am 32121

travis, thanks for your kind comments on our video. yes, ours took a long time indeed, and i am glad you appreciated the work that went in to it. your entry probably took as much work, if not more. my congrats, and i only wish you the best, travis.

appleguy00 - June 8th @ 9:17 pm 54321

Thanks Travis! It was put together over many long nights and through countless lunch and coffee breaks at my day job. Glad it conveys a fun time because it was a great trip. Judging by your video you lost quite a bit of sleep also. The cow scene is great BTW. Also I think your background music is my favorite of the bunch. Best of luck. We're in the home stretch!!!

atticus - June 8th @ 8:09 pm 54321

Impressive work. I love cartoons, this deserves to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric Fells - June 6th @ 7:22 pm 54321

Travis, I already gave you props so these 5 stars are for Kevin. Watched the video again and decided I love the tune. Although I can not play piano well, I'm going to attempt to learn the song.

mike beaudoin - June 6th @ 5:03 pm 54321

made me laugh. really, really, really good!

chelsea - June 5th @ 10:01 pm 54321

Why didn't you even win a camera? Crazy! This is so fine!

tracyah - June 5th @ 9:31 pm 54321

superb

greg - June 5th @ 3:30 pm 54321

Please accept my congrats on a really beautiful video. I work in an agency and this is our favorite. Roadtrip is a very traditional vacation. This video supports the family friendly tradition. Keep up the great work!

dominique - June 5th @ 2:01 pm 54321

wish i was that creative

Lisa - June 4th @ 8:32 am 43211

very artistic they don't make animation like this anymore good luck Travis

andrew - June 3rd @ 6:02 pm 54321

really cute video. it is very moving and orginal

beck - June 3rd @ 5:50 pm 32121

I love this video. It is unusual and artistic. You want to watch it again. In fact, I think I will!

teejay - May 31st @ 6:57 pm 54321

Hey Travi, thank you for the saying, "If you came here to give me stars, give them to Michael Beaudoin instead." Although, who said you were out of the running? The views, comments, star ratings and daily winners do not determine the Grand Prize Winner. Don't give up hope! Your video is still a contender. Once again, well done. Goodnight!

mike beaudoin - May 31st @ 12:38 am 54321

Travi, please teach me your iMovie tricks. Is it iMovie '08? I can really appreciate the artistic talent and pure hours that went into making your video so good. Keep up the great work!

RealtorLefebvre - May 30th @ 10:15 pm 54321

NO, I think I'll end this by giving myself 5 stars :) Play nice people!

travi - May 30th @ 8:29 pm 54321

Hey folks, since I didn't even win best video of the day, I obviously am not in the running. If you came here to give me stars, give them to Michael Beaudoin instead. He has the best video on the site (in my opinion.) Whoever does win--congrats. And this is the last post I make!

travi - May 30th @ 8:28 pm 32121

I don't know if you can beat the boudain boy, but this is definitely more interesting visually. In fact, quite excellent. (And you have some good tips, too.)

tracy - May 30th @ 3:28 pm 54321

So creative. Just plain fun to watch. Loved the Genuine Air in a can!

bev - May 30th @ 1:29 pm 54321

How did you do this? Awesome!

latinhottee - May 29th @ 10:51 pm 54321

I think this is SUPER! Totally original and fun to watch.

warpt - May 29th @ 9:52 pm 54321

the previous 5 star message was from me (your's was the first I commented - so you really know that this competiton is not evil.

garynsec - May 29th @ 2:50 pm 54321

Kudos to both of you -- superb animation, very fun video to watch, loved the music.

gary - May 29th @ 2:36 pm 54321

kevinw - May 29th @ 10:14 am 54321

oops, sorry for forgetting to move the stars up to 5 with my previous message.

thephilman - May 28th @ 11:17 pm 54321

I'm the competition, and I think this video is incredible!!! Thanks for the kind words too--I had seen a lot of the nasty comments on others' videos, so I wasn't too surprised. Definitely, I'm dying to know what kind of software you use to do stuff like this (or do I need schooling too???). I hope this wins...if mine doesn't! :)

thephilman - May 28th @ 11:15 pm 32121

watched this 5 times. (so you get 5 stars!) very clever-- loved Timbuktu and the cows!

punkeedrama - May 28th @ 8:03 pm 54321

kevin - May 28th @ 7:33 pm 14321

I love it. Funnny, cute, creative. The winner!

sowhat - May 28th @ 10:11 am 54321

I thought this was very creative

JJ - May 27th @ 8:50 pm 54321

Diane - May 27th @ 2:49 pm 32121

Agree with last post. People will vote you down because this is REALLY good. There are three videos that are noteworthy--the singing guy, the guy who sleeps in his car and you. Congrats!

gerry - May 27th @ 1:35 pm 54321

This is so quirky and amusing. Bravo! You can tell when you get one star that you're a contender. Five from me!!!

lightbird - May 27th @ 1:11 pm 54321

Emily - May 27th @ 12:50 pm 14321

I do stop action and it is no easy feat to get something this good. NOT boring. Really entertaining.

animator2 - May 27th @ 12:09 pm 54321

I dug it!

Mike Beaudoin - May 27th @ 12:03 pm 54321

just plain boring, though good ideas

chad - May 27th @ 12:02 pm 14321

good tips, but not the best video here

bob - May 27th @ 11:54 am 32121

Travi, VERY well done and right back at you with 5 stars from your competition. Your video has a great friendly feel to it. Bravo to you!

RealtorLefebvre - May 27th @ 11:47 am 54321

Hey Mom! Love our road trips. Love your video. Love you!

kylee - May 27th @ 10:30 am 54321

I know how much sleep you've gotten lately! You can rest now. Job well done!

rob - May 27th @ 10:18 am 54321

clever! really love this video.

mrfixer - May 27th @ 10:08 am 54321
