Anyway, i have different experience regarding that part of the forums.

Well I suppose it depends on how you go about it, but in either event if he wants opinions THAT badly, well, that's the best way to get em.

See you op someone's video and then they op yours and you both give each other real high scores so you can slurp each others asses real good.

...hey, at least I'm honest.

LoL

You could at least watch his video before you tear him apart.
Also vazh you probably souldn't whine about it if you're not getting feedback. A lot of people around here aren't to friendly towards noobs and a lot of "first video" threads get skipped here. The more whining you do, the more prone you are to people like Wheee_It's_Me!

Well you might feel the same way about all those corporations that won't even bother looking at your resume if you've got even some minor spelling mistake that's picked up by a piece of software and rejected before human hands even touch the thing...but uh...well it's reality. I didn't make reality you know, I just pointed it out. *shrugs* There are THOUSANDS of videos...now maybe you want to try and be "fair" and actually watch EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM...but for me, well I don't really have the time, patience nor the sanity to actually watch EVERY single video that pops up, so I use a variety of factors to determine whether I think a video is even worth the download...and hey, I ain't special here, MOST EVERYONE does it...some people might not even be aware that they're doing it.

Again though, this is basic advice. If you are a n00b level editor and you expect people to even watch what you post:
1. DO NOT bring up and gloss over the fact that it's your first video.
2. DO NOT use Windows Movie Maker (or at least convert it into something other than WMV before uploading).
3. DO NOT follow up your own posts in less than 10 minutes asking where all the opinions are.
4. DO NOT sound like a tweenage muppet fuck.
5. DO NOT use an anime/song combination that has already been used UNLESS yours is way, WAY better than the existing ones.
6. Mainstream, emo-pop songs are generally a BAD choice, some people won't even watch your video based on the fact that you're using something like Linkin Park...and to them it doesn't even matter how good the video might be.

That's all I can come up with off the top of my head, but if anyone can think of some more, feel free to add em.

If the video isn't worth your time to download then why bother wasting your time posting in it's announcement tread?

As I've said (three or four time now) it's worth my time to try and educate people so they won't make these mistakes and can get their videos actually looked at. I guess you must have missed that fact the first three or four times I said it. Let me know if you need me to repeat it any more for you, I understand some people need frequent repetition to comprehend basic things.
