Modest Mouse Missed the Boat video contest

[adam4skateboarding]

While we're on the subject could we change the subject now? Best first line ever!

[Sparten117gurr]

I like the robot vid better.

[Darknnez]

Which genre is the Modest Mouse music anyway? It's like an indie pop punk rock alternative. It's pretty bizarre, but awsome also.

[babyalligators1]

I think it could be called experimental pop

[DawkHawk33]

Favorite song of all time ....and this typically isnt my type of music

[ibZippinit]

Some producer should be giving you contract by now.

[mnlpresentations]

the only critisism i can really say at all is that u need 2 zoom in a little more in some parts but it was fricken sweet

[justinhardt1]

what the hell does that even mean?

[franktortuga]

i dont know how you lost to the robot, amazing

[mattbowley]

that is such a crazy awesome video

[ZodiacZephyr]

wow.......this was amazing. i loved it much better than the weird robot. the animation was so cool and crisp..........im blown away this is awesome

[EbrethilDia]

STOPMOTE!!! I like ^^

[kingddd133]

[cariD09]

shake shake shake.... priceless.

[ibZippinit]

shake shake shake shake shake perfect 5 I agree

[Rabbit0]

I love this version.

[xdavidbbyx]

"And I'll Laugh All The Way To Hell..."

-Modest Mouse-

[MyBestBadDay]

best line in the whole song

[tubehead333]

I don't know man,

"We've listened more to life's end gong then the sound of life's sweet bells"

That's what I love.

[MarcKlopp]

Fag,

[SiEvAlE]

this one is way better then the robot one.

this song is awesome

[ukoslavia1]

The robot was the shit though!

[LoganRixx]

I call Shenanigans on the votes..... RECOUNT RECOUNT RECOUNT!!!!!!!!!!

[Beelzabubbles]

I can't believe this video lost to the robot video! The robot one sucks!!!

[gogreen19]

i thought this was awesome.

gets my vote for best music video of the year.

yah, thats right, i went there, beyonce.

[jakjak08v2]

Yo, im really happy for you, but im gunna have to stop you there. I think, that this is definently one of the best vids out there.

[onebobtwo]

no you didn't!

kayne west

is coming after you.

you are a

tiny teenage woman

right?

[Musclebe]

too boring

[burtonbrd31]

reminds me of summer and surfing

[ilikezmonster]

i loved it

very well done

amazing editing

i wonder why you didnt win :)

[orangepatriot85]

this is a boom ting song and a boom ting video to go with it! bung!!!

[Astrochimp500]

lol wut

[Run4TheRabid]

it's like world of warcraft but it's free

[missedtheboat11]

best song out there.

[ZipZapTV]

Enter the Now Is The Time - Video Contest on ZipZapTV

[ibZippinit]

SHAKE X5

[Coconuteater23]

really love this video. the editing is perfect. what was this filmed with? message me

[Boredonthejob]

yeah amen, this is not only phenominal but is understanded while still requiring a good amount of skill and a good eye for aesthetics.

[SpacZebrasBrokenEggs]

This wins in my opinion. 3:35 She is watching the boats go by and they sing "we've truly missed the boat." Perfect.

[jozuman]

this one should've won!

[ghostfear3]

i agree with skippyasqueeze

[skippyasqueeze]

This Video is good, but I like the Robot one because it tells a story. Not to mention it fits the M.M. style very well.

[ceraines]

shut up pinhead.

[skippyasqueeze]

Silly

[djcool345]

One of my favorite songs of all time now.

[Ubbbbberfish]

This one captures the nature of the song better than the robot one...

[mel456789]

This is way better than a robot They are the bomb

[KoreanSquirrel]

honestly this ones kinda repetitive

i love the robot one for its quirky nature

[1073kat]

wow now way this is PRO,

[dRowNingkAt]

quite honestly, this is more what i envision for this song rather than the robot...

[NetzaDelgado]

I preffer this video!!! 5 stars!!!

[ibZippinit]

Honestly, the essence of the lyrics is right here. Not to mention the talent behind this. Love it since the first view long ago.

[ibZippinit]

Won't be long till one mill

[theultimatecabbage]

great stuff lads ye should have won hard luck!!

[pickzandstickz]

The chorus and opening riff of this song are way too good.

[denon9000cd]

great sond and vid

[Sarah2Rook]

the robot vid is retarded. This one should have won, its really cool

[BeerCrazedMonkey]

gutted you lost mate, that was amazing

[jivard2010]

This is pure brilliance

[BeanieGamer]

Great Video+Great Song=Favorite And 5 Stars!!!

[thymorrison]

komatara

[simionTheOne]

exactly where do i find the vid that won..?

pretty curious

[sh7th3ad]

just search Missed The Boat - Modest Mouse and its the video with Walter Robot.

[simionTheOne]

i cant find it lol

[43056845]

This is a very cool vid, but the robot one is just more interesting to watch because something's actually going on.

[DifferantProd]

WTF man do not taint the great song with your porn

[BowserTiny]

I do agree with most here, this video is better than the robot one, but it's too safe. The robot also fits Modest Mouse's style so maybe that's why they chose that one.

[hewhosayszonk]

I'm going to have to disagree with the "safe" comment. There's nothing daring or edgy about the robot video or this video. This clip fits the mood of the song much better.

[grahamharkey]

dear nedak,

just be happy you dont have erectile disfunction!

[lemonsdontcry]

HA!

[XombieRange]

i get wet....

[miguelsafreak]

Hmm. Very good video.

[RoyBatty42]

Okay, now I've watched the other one and have to say "WTF?!"

Who picked the "winner" in this contest???

This is definitely the better one. I'm not saying the other one sucked, but it doesn't match the song as well. Doesn't have the same vibe as the music.

It also doesn't use a score of locations I know well either lol...

[RoyBatty42]

Was trying to find some bump music from Marketplace, so I played the video just to hear the song to see if it was the one I heard.

I got so caught up in the video I sorta forgot why I started it in the first place. Can't believe no one has thought of this concept before. And really can't believe it lost in some contest.

[whiteuslatinus]

omg. i wouldnt have had the patience to make this video in stop motion. but it was worth it. great shit. no lie.

[darock420]

I know this all happened a long time ago, but it still gets me that this video lost to the robot one... this one has a way deeper connection to the song, I think.

[hollleee]

james mercer's voice really adds a lovely sweetness to this album. love both bands.

[Mikemillering1]

i came for both.......

[menliketwilightto]

What the hell!!!!! we dont care about porn we are hear to listen to modest mouse not get boners!!!!

[nedak]

I get boners from Modest Mouse =[

[cateran0101]

i would have change one thing. One of the posters should have had Issac brock at the end. And the poster is blown off the post and blows into the ocean.

as for the porno spamers. Go to hell. I hope you dicks fall off and are force fed to you mothers, you sick bastards

[DifferantProd]

wow.. that was WAYYY better than walter robot

[foodlovingpig]

Sure was.

[DifferantProd]

wtf man... dont taint the taste of modest mouse with porn..

[thedoc56]

urs is better then that robot crap

[zamorak42840]

Modest Mouse is such a creative band and its amazing that they're under the radar. But most idiots in the world have no idea what good music is and will keep listening to shitty bands such as fallout boy. Anyway great song, great band, love them.

[toddpinkstonisgod]

Fall Out Boy "awesome"? I guess they're awesome at having song titles with unnecessarily long and idiotic names...

[voldermania]

Precisely.

That and being great to dance/sing along to. Different music has different plus points, but it's all (well, most is) pretty snazzy in my mind.

[mattcattt]

and other idiots will label music shitty 'cos they believe it to be mainstream or they don't like it. There's nothing wrong with fall out boy.

[2ltben]

This version is so much better than the robot that I cannot possibly think how it didn't win.

[magicpie77]

the robot one, i think, is more true to MM's style of videos. think Dashboard. This video is good too but very safe.

[Rabbit0]

I like this version.

[myMUMsmells]

what a great idea

[billybush132]

i like this one the best. You should have won.

[HungGarEarthBender]

how many pictures did this take?

[TheTrapezeSwinger13]

I thought this video should have won.

[danyellbella35]

I love this song, and this band

[heartincage1251]

defintely made better than the robot video,

keep it up

[Joxxy]

Love this video.. and the intro to this song.

[SheepasaurusRex]

This should have won.

[quiltbee]

totally love it..thank you....

[weaselbob95]

how did you do the parts of the vid where the people were on the different colored paper?

[eKriZZLe]

young artists? im not a modest mouse trivia guy by any means but didnt they put out like 10 records before even getting noticed by a major label?

nice vid tho

[bulletproofturks]

Young artists = The team that made this video.

[beatlesgtpepper]

This is my favourite song =D

MODEST MOUSE RULES!!

[cpruncw]

This video is awesome keep up the great work

[theboris10]

amazing

[Manusturbo]

Hmmm... Are you guys the same people who did the music video for Pet Shop Boy's Integral?

[annefrank11]

Yeah, I agree.

The video is fantastic. The effects are just perfect.

If you would've told a little story, maybe, like asmoohican said, you probably would have one.

I say you keep trying.

Maybe you could use this video's footage and combine it with a simple side story?

I love this concept.

Cass~

[GoldenRetrieverxo]

im seeing them on the 8th (:

[72WAP]

this one was clearly better in my opinion.

good luck on future projects, felluz! :D

[chelseafrydenberg]

favorite band<3

[arcticPandaS]

this is so good

[NadsNM2]

thats pretty cool

[greengiant123]

What editing program do you have?

[asmoohican]

the effects in this video are incredible. It looks amazing.

One reason it could have lost is that it didn't really go anywhere. We saw the same thing in different locations. I think if there was some progression, some story that this video told, it would have won.

[ctrlzinc]

Dude, get over it. Congrats on the short, but you're pathetic for stilll commenting here.

[baseballerdude11]

amen

[Intelligo]

I thought the robot was retarded...sorry.

[baseballerdude11]

yeah me too.

[DifferantProd]

i agree with you. walter robot sucks the big one

[MatsuoBashoThePoet]

I prefer this video too. Who got to decide? Was it MM themselves? It just goes to show; This video 5*, robot video 4 1/2*

[mastergrab44]

I think the only reason the robot reason won because the video's plot was similar to the song

this is video is better but off the song plot

well done

[JupitalKnight]

This is one badass video man, I'd hire ya.

[a7xsidewinderx7a]

better video hands down

[NeonBoneyard]

how the fuck did this lose!!!

its sooo much better and creative and just flat out amazing

100/5 stars

[skatfacestu]

The guy singing backing vocals sounds like the singer from the shins, is it him?

[pinkeone01]

actually yes it's James Mercer lead vocalist for The Shins

[skatfacestu]

I knew it!

the little devil.

[Akako110]

Ya you guys did a great job!

[discojosh69]

trust me dude this is wayyy better than the robot vid. you are super good at editing

[dRowNingkAt]

i definitely like this video better...

[jaredyankee]

ya, i saw both videos and this one is better

[mrkemrk]

Crazy in love with this band, and this is one of their best fucking songs. Period.

[walkeramber19]

[jesuspieces]

I prefer this over the winning video

No offense to the robot video... but i do like this one better

Great song, great band

[max29297]

3:20 haha

[SilverDragon77]

"And we owned all the tools ourselves,

but not the skills to make a shelf with.

Oh, what useless tools, ourselves..."

This has to be the single greatest line I have ever heard in any song. Ever.

[syracuse93]

great opening

[oocheewawa]

omg thats awesome how long did it take u to make it

[animeandy2153]

I love the way he sings "tiny curtains open.and we heard the tiny clap of little hands.a tiny man would tell a joke and get a laugh from all the folks." it just sounds awesome together with the music. it does match the video especially when it showed a lady sitting watching the boats go by. robots shmobots

[airo2142]

remember the video for float on...?

but yea i agree that was a great line

i like the beggining where he is like "while were on the subject, could we change the subject now?"

[animeandy2153]

exactly. great point.thanks for sharing i love that line among the many.

[ItallstartswithH]

You would like that part, wouldn't you?
