Made this movie to quell my, very short-lived, obsession with ChatRoulette. I don't think i've logged on to the site once since making this movie. just creeps me out too much

    the only problem that you forgot to mention is all those /b/ tards from 4chan trying to get reactions by posting fake porn/camwhores suicide videos, etc..all that gets posted...

  • Jimmy Dushku plus 2 years ago
    ^ databaze is correct. Your friend was probably one of the only real girls on there. I know far too many people messing around with others on that site. It mainly guys and pervs.

    Great video. Enjoyed watching it.

    beautiful man. you really summed up the experience. chatroulette is one of those things that's both very real and very surreal at the same time.

    Chat roulette...

    Freekin' awesome!

    Your hot friend...

    Freekin' awesome!

    Just one question...

    Why 90 users and not 100???

  • A true masterpiece.
    I too recently discovered chat roulette and yes it is full of pervert but beyond that is truly something worth investigating. Thanks.

    An interesting perspective towards the connaturally unrealistic anonymity of net-life.

    The covered identities offer users with over-the-edge freedom to take impolite actions with a stranger.

    Great short! I really like how you added stop motion to movie.
    My friends and I had a Chatroulette session a few days ago. We ended up with about the same results. Although I did a little experiment of my own (I should have filmed it). I got up, put a pink scarf on my head and started acting stupid. Making faces, pretending that I was eating my girlfriend's foot that was hanging in the frame (without her actually showing).
    Interestingly I didn't get next-ed as often as when we had our 2 very pretty girlfriends in frame.
    So my conclusion is that people will watch when there is something interesting or weird happening, or even if there is a lot of movement.
    I'll film and post our next session. I't wont be as nice as yours for sure, but it might be funny as I make a fool out of myself :)
    (I'm in broadcasting by the way, so this is a truly great way to study peoples reactions to new (and old) things thrown at them)

    Hi Casey, saw this video via Mashable. I didn't know what chat roulette was, but really enjoyed your video about it. I like the 30 days/Supersized feel to it. Good job!

    Excellent, Casey. Your research approach complete with statistics was interesting and the visual presentation was definitely not boring. Also, I loved how you chopped the aluminum MacBook into a G4 PowerBook.

  • Niki Black 2 years ago
    Loved the vid. And I definitely wouldn't have nexted you. As someone who probably falls into the "old" category, but has the benefit of being a woman, I usually get nexted 50% of the time. Oh well.

    Great low-key presentation style. Your systematic approach to data collection has a very "Mythbusters" feel to it -- science and humor together. Please make more videos; there is plenty of crap in the world that is fair game for kidding.

    getting nexted is fun.. on the beigining then you become a little depressed, and then, for feeling better with yourself, you nexted a lot of people jaja.
    Very bizarre, chat, but very interesting people.

    This is great! I spent about 2 hours on chatroulette last night (I only expected to use it for 10 minutes, but got hopelessly addicted).

    I agree with your stats and assessment. I got used to being "nexted" pretty quickly, but I still felt the burn when a pretty lady clicked me away.

    Anyway, excellent editing, filming, use of props, etc. You're an inspiration to a film newbie like myself! Keep up the good work and I expect you'll make it to your dreams someday.

    All the best,
    -Vinny

    One note though: It was only 'the middle of a work day', as you put it, in your part of the world. Most of the rest of the globe were either up early, up late, or done with work for the day.

  • Thomas Landré 2 years ago
    Awesome, really great narration, and stop mo pics... Damn' That's one of the best I've seen last weeks. The videos is ****ing well done AND sincerely interesting. I actualy didn't what chatroulette was, but if someone would have told me what it was about, I think I could have guess about the results. Maybe someday I'll try that thing to see mine, but don't no if I could get better than you ! (but a loooot worse than Genevieve!)
    Please go on take pleasure And givin some, posting you awesome videos =) Bye!

    Not sure what was the goal here, the video is well made but the whole subject matter could have been written about in a half a page blog. Editing was choppy at spots, camera angles were not pleasant to watch at times. The soundtrack didn't match the subject matter, together with the melancholy, slow narration it reminded more about a documentary about 1920's Prohibition. The ending flowed very nicely and was nice to watch.
