| Any Nut with stripped threads can be a critic......... Where's your Entry?
A couple of points: * I'm not interested in winning anything. I only entered for fun and to help support the competition. That's why I didn't use my real name. * This is the 1st time I've every done anything like this, so I didn't know what to expect. Next Competition, I'll do things differently. | ||

| I used to do a lot of model rocketry when I was a kid (and when I was not such a kid!) and this brought back a lot of memories. :) For some reason I found it very poignant when the rocket keeps going into space, with the great music in the background -- we should give William Cushman an honorary award for music contributions to this contest!!! -- because when I was a kid, I used to dream the same thing about my own rockets ... and the universe seems so limitless and my future was gonna contain all sorts of exciting, wonderful adventures.
So for a minute or so I was flying in space with that rocket ... and then ... Well, I don't wanna give away the ending, but that also takes me back to my rocket launches as a kid, and my life since!!!! :D :D :D Anyway, 5 stars for the movie, 1 star for making me feel old and depressed. :P | ||

| I shot that about 3 years ago with my boy. We use to launch rockets all the time. Then one day I decided to put a very large engine in the rocket. It went very high and the high winds took it for a ride and we never did find it. I figured I could edit a better ending for it, then just loosing it to high winds. That's where the idea about going into space came from.
We've launched other rockets since then, but that one was our favorate. |
