Wonderful Pistachios - ROBOTS DO IT ON COMMAND!

[tray0ne]

sorry,no harm intended,but make a comparation DeStorm has 10 k views on his video ,you don't have 1k ,that's why this is poor rated

[VJFranzK]

wrong - star ratings have nothing directly to do with the number of hits - if one person watches your video, and rates it five stars, you have a five star rating!

It's an average of all the ratings people have given.

Unfortunately, that means a few idiots can bring down the rating a lot by giving it 1 star or whatever.

People can be pretty mean on You Tube.

Friendly people, if you like my videos, please rate them! ;-)

And "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." ha ha

It looks like the whole voting thing didn't really work. There was no movement at all in the supposed winning line-up for more than a week after one video moved up 8 places overnight. Surely there would have been some change in the order if votes were being counted. And the moderator disappeared after announcing the fixed vote accusations. Please help us by asking Wonderful Pistachios to pick the BEST video and keep it a video contest, not a clicking contest. Thanks, Hopeful

[VJFranzK]

Yes, I think that judges would have made more "interesting" choices for the winner! (Also, 3 winners would have been nicer than one, even if the prize was split.)

D-Storm, made a good quality, but very MTV / radio friendly (aka boring!) entry, no wonder he won.

I think people didn't understand, or were slightly weirded out by my video, so some of them rated it low.

As said, techno music is not really understood in America?

But I LIKE weird stuff! If you do too, give stars, and SUBSCRIBE!

[t3hwh1p]

why is this so poorly rated? i liked it

[VJFranzK]

I'm trying to figure that out, actually. ;-)

I guess people STILL don't like electronic music in America?

(Is this vote open to the world?)

Still, everybody likes funny animation? and ROBOTS don't they?

What about Transformers, and Tron 2, and Daft Punk?

Well, I'm already working on other stuff... (subscribe!) Concentrate on THE FUTURE!

[Conorsfeet]

This song hurt my ears

[VJFranzK]

That comment hurt the robots feelings. :-(

[Conorsfeet]

Oh its not bad i think its funny but the beat literally hurts my ears

[VJFranzK]

there's a nut cracking "clap" sound in there every couple of bars for obvious reasons

I'm going to upload the entire 2 minute song after this is all over

[Owersym]

@VJFranzK I always thought that it was the best commercial, love the tune ! Since then, did you upload the entire song on your channel ?

See ya ;)

[oldblubblub]

I voted for this video.

[VJFranzK]

Thank you! Every vote helps.

[oldblubblub]

I love it how there's a lot of things going on in the backround. It's very detailed and it looks like you put a lot of effort into this video. Plus, the song is good too. P.S. How exactly did you make this video?

[VJFranzK]

Thanks for noticing! It did get pretty complex.

I drew all the robots etc. on paper, then scanned them. Added colors and assembled them into "puppets" in Photoshop, then animated them in Adobe After FX.

It could have been done in Flash, but I like AFX better!

Hey, VJFranzK! Congratulations on making it into the ten finalists! Cash, HD Video Recorder, and free pistachios no matter what--VERY cool! You seem like a really nice guy...its to bad I have to hate you now. >:)

[VJFranzK]

Thanks!

Your stuff is really good, and sure to win another contest, if you enter!

don't hate me -

Actually, I got robbed of any recognition in another contest I hoped to place in...

it's hard to guess what people will like! Just follow your inspiration? or whatever..! 8-D

[ADreamer91]

lol this is so funny

[MjBeaud]

I dig it.

[NotYourFriendComics]

super-cute!!!!! souns like devo!!!

[VJFranzK]

"Are we not men? WE ARE DEVO" Thanks!

They are STILL rockin' it, and there's a Japanese tribute band "The Polysics"

Here I am using the "autotune" voice effect popularized by

Cher, Daft Punk, Kanye, T-Pain, etc...

I have a parody of "Mister Roboto" in the works too!

(The instrumental version is already up, but working to get just the right vocal take.)

[RileyNation]

Great video. Well done on multiple levels.

[VJFranzK]

Thanks! The motion of the hammer assembaly line robot was pretty complicated

[angelspice70]

this was really fun to watch!

[mikebharrington]

So THAT's how the things get de-shelled on an industrial scale.  Now, can you show me how it's done with sunflower seeds? I had a bunch from a sunflower in the back yard and it took FOREVER to get the husks off.

[VJFranzK]

Oh yeah, "there's a robot for that"! It's just a smaller robot... We're working on some nanobots to harvest safron as well
