archived-videos A good contest entry?

In 30 seconds or less make a video of the most creative way to destroy your old router

I know the idea of hitting it with a baseball bat is simple, but at least I didn't light it on fire, right?

Of the dumb contests I've entered, I'm most proud of this, is it worth being proud of? What'd'ya think?

Im just wondering what else i can toss at you while you're holding a bat...

 

[samwagner1000]

haha so no good, huh?

 

[Ernest Worthing]

Well, i dont know what the contest rules and guidelines were or what the other entries looked like, so hard to say.

 

[samwagner1000]

haha ok fair point, but if you dont like it, man, don't dance around the issue, just say so
im pretty new to this stuff, just trying to get feedback, yknow?
anyway, what'd you have done differently? the prompt was: destroy your old router in a creative way
i didnt just want to hit it with a baseball bat, i thought that was too lame, so i did the whole uniform/batting practice thing, that was the extent of my creativity i guess hahah

 

[Ernest Worthing]

Honestly, i do not feel one way or another abt it. What i do remember from when i was watching it was that i liked how u didnt just hit the router and how the router came without any special treatment. Ball, ball, router. Basically, i liked the nonchalant manner of it.

How i wouldve done it... hmm... i wouldve made a Rube Goldberg device with the end result being the router getting destroyed.

 

[samwagner1000]

haha that is clever
well, thanks, then haha i think i know what i'm talking about, and i know what i want when i'm thinking of ideas and stuff, but i'm very new to actually making stuff, how to do it and all that, so thanks for the feedback, i can't be objective about my own stuff, its too hard haha

I would have eaten the router
