Short film (with unicycle) for apple film festival - please rate!

I made a short two weekends ago (Nov 10-12) with two friends for a
24-hour student film festival put on by Apple.
(http://edcommunity.apple.com/contest/contest.php)
On Friday at 2pm, they put out 11 required elements, 3 of which had to
be included in the film.
The films could not exceed 3 minutes, and the films had to be done
within 24-hours of the prompt.

After reading the prompt, we brainstormed and threw a bunch of stuff in
my friend Jon's station-wagon
(including costumes, unicycles, food, and a monkey). We worked until 4
am, then got up the next morning
to finish and upload the film to apple.com before 2pm. My friend Jon
and my housemate Yoni performed
the music a mere 1.5 hours before the deadline. Here's the film we
made:

1 (on apple) http://edcommunity.apple.com/contest...php?itemID=178
2 (on my site -low quality)
http://www.unicyclejester.com/vids/cowboy2.mov
3 (on my site -high quality)
http://www.unicyclejester.com/vids/cowboy%20v3.0.mov


Now until December 3rd people can go and rate each film that was
submitted. (There were
teams of college students from all over the country). The top 25 rated
films get to be
reviewed by a jury after Dec. 3rd.

If you like it, please vote and tell all your friends to vote!!!
[in order to vote, you have to do it by clicking on the "apple version"
of my movie above.

-Jess

Haha! Great Jess, loved it . Hope you do well, seems a shame you have
to have an apple membership to vote .

Really liked the stop-motion style monkey, very amusing.

Nice job, Jess. Can you explain how you did the monkey scene? I saw
some strings, but it also looked like a cut motion sort of thing.

Great vid,
Ty

Wow, that's seriously cool! I loved it!
Is it really possible to ride a giraffe faster than you can run(naive)?

Last chance to vote everyone!!

I'm currently ranked #24, which is RIGHT on the cusp.

The top 25 films go on to be looked at by a jury.

It only takes a minute to sign up with apple, and rate it!

Here's the link again:
