  • I'm sorry, I understand you feel ripped off but its hypocritical you don't give credit to Star Wars or Lucas films what so ever in your description. Shouldn't they get a piece of your income you make from putting google ads on your vids according to your logic? I'm sure most people who found this video put in a Star Wars reference (AT AT) rather than dog costume.

  • I like that comment, you're cool, oh and I am not going to get "OVER" it, it's my life, and I will live it, defend it, make the best of it. And despite my little life I have, I will NOT allow some money hungry corporation to rip me off so their bank accounts can get bigger when all I wanted to do was make people happy.

  • Am I still on youtube I haven't seen this many sophisticated comments with proper grammer and punctuation. oh and get over it.

  • aw, sorry that that VW ad was so similar and you're sad about it! if it makes you feel any better, I hadn't even seen the ad, and I still thought of your doggie costume so came back again to watch your vid :), after which I looked up the VW ad to see what was going on. Your video, costume, and dog are much more awesome, and your singing much better than the VW singing!!!! my 2c...

  • @xiggystardust thanks, you made me feel a little better.

  • you weren't the first

  • @Akrob55555 Ok, who was than, send me a personal message with the video of the first person. Because I can't find one. Look before you leap.

  • You act like you patented this idea or something, get over it already

  • @djm0813 I can understand how you feel that way. What I am fighting for is recognition. I am the little guy here. VW is the Corporate monster that takes what ever it wants to make MORE MONEY. All i wanted to do was make people happy, you should be on my side.

  • @flippycheese just stop being an attention whore. like I said you weren't the only one to do this or even compare dogs and AT-ATs, even if your dog is the one that inspired them (i doubt it because what came to mind when i saw the commercial for the first time was one made by Katie Mello which is also many magnatudes better than yours) it differs from yours so much you would get laughed at.

  • I am fairly positive that VW pays Lucas Films royalty for the use of the costume concept. If anyone is in violation of the use of a concept or "ripping" someone off it would be you. In fact, you are lucky your video has made so little of an impact that it hasn't been brought to the attention of Lucas-films. As someone who works for the Patent and Trademark office, VW isn't in the wrong for using a concept that they pay for, but you technically are.

  • @Jeanneisgreat So, you aren't positive (Know what you are talking about)? Good job. listen, I am sitting right across for a REAL LAWYER, in my house. I know everything already. I am not protesting legality, never did. I am protesting honesty, and recognition for people who do good things and get kicked aside by corporations so they can make a MORE MONEY>>>

  • @flippycheese Did I state I was an attorney? Negative. However, unless your attorney is in IP Law; you've got absolutely no shot. As you've already posted this image(concept) in the public for more than a year. You are unable patent or claim rights to the subject because your concept contains no original or new concept and was derived directly from the Lucas adaptation. You cannot without a doubt prove that you are the first and only "inventor" of the concept.

  • @Jeanneisgreat You sound like someone with legal back round to me......I live with Lawyer you know and yes she has a very detailed background dealing with these things. Anyway, thanks for all the legal crap, (Like I don't hear that all day). And just remember, my complaint about "legal stuff" of which you are attempting to characterize it as, it's much much more than that. It's about being a person, and recognition.

  • @flippycheese So if Volkswagen adds the tiniest print to the end of their commercial, "We're sorry that all of you individuals who made an AT-AT costume for your dog don't receive nation-wide recognition.However, we paid for ours so suck it" you would be okay with that? That's what you are aiming for? Everyone, in the history of AT-AT dog costumes, to get recognition?

  • I made my dog an AT AT costume years ago. I would even walk him around the streets and get compliments and pictures taken. But I'm not pissed off about this. If you really do appreciate your own work, you'd be proud like I am. You're just wanting money from a car company. Go make your dog another costume. May I suggest Boba Fett, or are you gonna sue me for suggesting you an idea?

  • @XtremeJoe Just want recognition buddy, I am a human being you know.

  • It just goes to show that any idea you have, chances are there are a few other people around the world who have thought of the same thing. Maybe use this as a chance to see a positive - you were obviously on to something great, you obviously are creative and have the ability to foresee upcoming trends, so create something equally cool and get the designs patented (in this case you wouldn't have been able to patent the idea - the at-at image, design, concept belongs to Lucasfilm).

  • @TheLaurieBee After trying to contact VW, and getting the cold shoulder and lawyers talking to me AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, getting negative comments, i am starting to wonder if you work for them or the people who they hire to advertise. I'm right aren't I?

  • @flippycheese lol no, I live an work in New Zealand. I found your vid through the comment you left on the Volswagen vid... I'm interested because my bf and I have been talking for ages about making a starwars flash short with the cast as dogs and cats. I agree that corporations rip people off all the time, but don't think that's the case here. Think about it, how could they not have an at-at dog in an ad with dogs as starwars chars. I's an obvious thing for them to think of.

  • @TheLaurieBee You have no idea how sad and upset I am, I don't have much in this world and this was one thing I did that made people all over the world happy, and to have it scooped up and used to get some already super rich people richer, is making me sick, I am so sad, so so sad.

  • @flippycheese I can imagine, it must suck, but I think you need to make the most out of the situation - use it to get more eyes on your channel, people are going to want to see more of dogs dressed as starwars chars, if you play it right your vid could go viral off the back of this.

  • @flippycheeses I don't think you should let this get you down in any way though. Just see it as a sign that you have a good idea of what people want to see, what net trends are heading mainstream (because dogs in starwars costumes have been growing in popularity online for a while and big business finally woke up to that), and use the possible surge of views on your channel to promote something new - maybe design another costume with a "geek chic" edge, get design patented.

  • rofl i love it

  • @flippycheese Sorry, but do you really think you are the first person to come up with the idea for an at-at costume for a dog? It's been done several times! In fact, this person has a far better claim to intellectual property infringement than you do (look for Bones Mello on Facebook) - that at-at dog is actually a greyhound, has been going for ages, and was pretty well known before the commercial... he's also feeling like he's somehow been ripped off.

  • @TheLaurieBee FYI, I just talked to Katie 45 minutes ago on the phone (The person who made the bones costume) (1 year After seeing my vid), hers is great, much more technical than mine. They ripped her off to. Bastards.....

  • Actually there is enough of a difference in the costume that it doesn't infringe on the original design. If you never made a user agreement stipulating that you cannot use the design for commercial gain, than there is no course of action you can take. Honorable mention at best.

  • @Nojjokka I understand what you are saying, and legally, you may be correct. But that isn't going to stop me from calling VW out on this. I am VERY VERY upset. the court of public opinion is greater than any written law, especially these days.

  • @flippycheese just face it you aren't the only one to have done this. in fact you are far from the first to compare AT-ATs to dogs so you have nothing. you're just trying to make a buck get over it.

  • @dmayfield2 Sorry, but you are wrong. I am not making a beef about money, recognition that's all. They got the original kid for there Darth Vader youtube commercial last year. I never heard a word from them. I tried to contact them today and they refer me to lawyers. Just another example of corporations putting down the little guy. Funny thing is i would have bent over backwards for them if they asked.

  • I can't stop watching this video. I swear it gets funnier every time. Excellent job!

  • @TheShapirate I am glad it made you happy, that is what i posted it for, not so the worlds largest car maker can use it to make more money. Please contact Volkwagon and tell them they ripped me off.

  • Dude, you're a Genius! I can't believe that Volkswagen copied your AT-AT costume for their new commercial!!! Good work man!

  • @mthaeter007 WHAT! I did not know that. Listen Youtubers. That girl that made that costume from the Greyhound Emailed me and I sent her the plans, I also sent them to other fans so they could make one as well, of which they all did a very good job at BTW. However, she is profiting from it. Lawyers, Hello?

  • @flippycheese The plans for the costume are your intellectual property. You should definitely do something about it.

  • His legs are proportional.

  • @MrJason1142 The whole concept of the costume actually spawned out from a day in the dog park when another patron noticed that his stature (Legs) were like that of an AT AT. It the got the gears in my head and on a fluke, I made the costume, just for kicks.

  • @flippycheese Very creative. I enjoyed the sound effects, very fitting.

  • watched all your video's and love how the dog is not keen at first, then when he heads to the park and is running about you can tell he is chuffed :)

    DEVO DOG is brilliant too :) well done

  • @spiltm When he's happy I'm happy, we have a great beast/master relationship. Thanks for the Devo Dog comment, that was really hard to do actually.

  • HAHAH! I think the best part about this is the fact that the guy got so much enjoyment out of the costume. Awesome...that is all.

  • @brlayman2583 You have no idea......

  • The happiest AT-AT ever!

    Here in the Netherlands we don't celebrate Halloween, but while visiting family in Florida this year I got roped into taking my nieces and nephews trick-or-treating. Our group (three adults, seven kids) had a royalty theme so everyone dressed up like princes or princesses. I'd brought my black pit bull along with me on holiday so I went as Princess Leia and dressed him up as Darth Vader. We totally owned that night XD

  • @EnigmaDrath Sounds cool, I love your country BTW, never met a bad person from there.
