We vote for #9
The Bresin Family
My favorite! I really enjoyed this! Awesome job!!
This video could go straight from here to the television and/or as an auto-play commercial on a website! It appears ready for distribution! Music, timing, sound effects…it looks like the work of a professional advertising company! Millions of dollars are spent by companies to produce commercials that capture the attention of their target audience – perhaps they need to contact the Daudelin family before they spend another dollar! Very effective COMMERCIAL! Impressive!

I’d like to vote for David Daudelin’s entry.
This video is GREAT!
We vote for #9, the Daudelin family! We love their creativity and time commitment to make it all work!
This Rube Goldberg type set up was impressive along with the cheery music.
This creative video is entertaining and such fun. We love it.
I’m voting for this video!
Great video…fun, short, lots of products used!
This video was our favorite! I am sure you had lots of fun making it! Excellent work!
Since I was told it was permissible, I’d like to cast my vote for my own video here. Thank you all for your encouraging comments!
I’m an 18-year-old homeschool graduate and did the video together with my younger brother Timothy who is going to be a sophomore this fall.
The rocket scene was pretty challenging. We ended up shooting it off four or five times before it eventually got lost in the woods for good.
Probably the hardest one though was the train. Getting the blocking piece of track to go up without knocking the train off, and not having the train derail while going down the track, and getting it to change the balance to make the bucket go down was tricky but it sure was exhilirating when we got a scene to work.
I thought it was creative, great music, and well thought-out.
Wowza! That must have taken a lot of time!
Awesome video!!! it sure has my vote…
Not only was the video impeccably crafted, it also sparked my interests in Timberdoodle and their products. You can find videos that are skillfully shot, and even some that are witty in their message, but to find one that somehow brings both to the table is miraculous.
As stated before the video is tastefully done, and entirely indicative of professional work.
Bravo
VERY COOL … I’ve always wanted to make my own Rube Goldberg contraption! This was a really great way to advertise Timberdoodle products.
Very ingenious, excellent work David.
Though I really like the Russell family’s entry, I think this video is the most professional and creative. Great work!
Great job!!! This is the best video by far!!!
My vote is for Daudelin family video. Well done!

We vote for the Daudelin family video #9.
Loved watching the videos!!! Great idea!
Our all time favorite… #9 We love the adventure trip through a
variety of the products Timberdoodle offers. That must have taken a lot
of work to make everything work together! (The music and camera shots
were amazing too).
This is an excellent commercial – very professional looking. Creative and to the point.
Love the Rube Goldberg–has my vote.
I vote for the Daudelin entry #9. Extremely well done, creative and innovative. It grabs your attention immediately and holds your mind. And of significant importance, the video and audio are just the right length — long enough to show the message, but not so long you wait and hope and hope and hope that it will end.

Definately my vote goes to the David Daudelin video – the best! The music goes perfectly with the timing of each action; their creative way of showing all of the Timberdoodle products while the voice over tells how fun and differently HSing students learn is just fabulous!
It’s not too long or drawn out and it shows how fun HSing is without having to say it.
Excellent, professional, and enjoyable! This gets my vote!

I would like to vote for Video entry #9 Daudelin family. It was creative and fun to watch.
This video sounds interesting, but it doesn’t show up on the page I’m looking at. Any advice on how to see it?
Thanks.
Nice concept! I like this one. The music works well with it too.
I think it needs a touch here and there. We should see the rocket going up and then the string pulling away the barrier to the train.
But, this is well done.
I vote for video entry #9.
Loved how it went in and out of the house, especially the rocket.
Do you possibly have a filter or ad-blocking software that would be blocking it? We’ve had 2 people experience that.
Great video! Lots of fun to watch!
Congratulations, David. We are all so impressed with your video. You set the standard high for all of us. I don’t know about you, but the Russell children are already talking about next year!
Excellent video! Pefection! This is the kind of commercial you just want to stand up and cheer for. Very good job!

We have a video in this contest, but we agree that you deserve FIRST PLACE! You’re video is AMAZING!
Ooops! We meant, “YOUR video is amazing”!
(We’re actually pretty good at grammar…usually.) 
This video is Great!!!
This video is great fun and demonstrates so many wonderful Timberdoodle learning tools without having to explain anything. Just seeing the gadgets in action is enough to make you want to go to the catalogue and check things out. Colorful, catchy, and perfect music too!
What a great video! Excellent job. I vote for this one!
I was extremely impressed by your entry. We think you definitely deserved 1st place! The amount of patience it must have taken to make everything work like that blows my mind.

CUTE!!!!! I liked it!
awesome! wow, that’s sooooo cool!!!!
Amazing! It was very creative .
Great Video. I vote for this one!
Thank you to everyone who supported us in this competition! It was really exciting to see the votes come in and to read your encouraging comments.
I’d like to espescially thank my brother Timothy who is the actor in the video and who helped design and operate the course (he was the one who first jokingly suggested shooting the rocket out of his window which led me to the idea of using it in the chain reaction).
I’d also like to thank my Mom for sending out the news to multiple homeschool e-mail loops, my brother Michael for spreading the word to his friends, Abe and Sylvia, my grandparents, for their support, my friend Jack M. and his family for all their support, Mrs. Adams for her huge assistance in contacting voters, Mrs. Johnson for spreading the word about it, Mrs. Vandermark who is my academic counselor at NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) for all her support, and of course Timberdoodle for putting this great contest on.
You can watch a high-quality version of the video at: http://www.TrekSoftware.org/Video/Timberdoodle_Commercial.wmv (it takes awhile to buffer)
Also, if anyone out there is interested, I do provide video filming and production services as part of my computer assistance business and you can see more information about that and my other services on my website at http://www.HackettstownComputerRepair.com/Video.html
This is the one I vote for. Very nice music to emphasize the progress. Do another!
A very creative production, we loved it.
Very impressive! I loved it…can’t wait to show my kids! Congratulations…well deserved for all your hard work!
This is fantastic! What a creative endeavor! I Love It!! Can’t wait to see more. Keep up the great work!
The complexity of the machinations and the simplicity of the concept were a perfect combination. Congratulations.
Fantastic! Fun to watch, and has a positive message, too! I vote for #9 Daudelin!
This was so well done. I had boys running to see it from all over the house and now they’re requesting that we watch it again! Thanks.
We are glad you won. This is a ver good video with plenty of work put in to it. Congratulations!
Very creative submission by the Daudelin Family. I vote for #9!
This video was amazing! Just goes to show you how creative our homeschooled kids can be when they have great products to work with!
Very, very cute and creative. How did you get that boot to fall over? I like this one.
Hi Merry,
In the video, the car flying out the window is what knocks into the boot causing it to fall down onto the ignition pad for the rocket.
very good job on your latest video only a handfull of people can do what u did on this video. agian great job. todd@sharon
That was a really good video! I thought it was really creative =). This definitely has my vote!
This is so super! I have been trying to get it to play for the past half hour. (Had to see what beat the cute sheriff I voted for.
) For some reason, the page wouldn’t load the first dozen or so times I tried. And it evidently did that for me the first time, too, because I’d never seen it before. If I had, I would have voted for it. Excellent! I dearly love Rube Goldberg machines of all kinds, and this one is pretty impressive. Video and narration was excellent, too.
We recognized every toy! Excellent video. It brought back wonderful memories for our boys who are now 15, 16 and 17.
