I realized that on this site, the people very rarely give out ratings. They really only rate the video from the maker they are friends, or familiar with. You just have to be involved in the community more.

And for voice acting, I really can't explain that. Since I have hard time too. Try directly Pming voice actors you want instead of waiting for them to come to you, because most of the time you have to make the first move. (Unless you make a really spiffy casting call.)

As for getting feedback on your films, some members might not want to because they don't like pointing out a lot of flaws. (I see this in many a new person's film) Would you like me to give you some feedback? I'll put in the time.

(I also don't have the time to give feedback on every film so that could be the case with some other brickfilmers)

"Bless you for making this." -Sloth 2016 * on "Chicken Shaped Lighthouse Attacks Police"

Ephesians 4:29 -"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers."

Just taking a quick glance over your films, they're either action (police/army) films or Star Wars. I don't mean this as a dig against you or your films, because they could be brilliant and completely subvert the established action brickfilm tropes, but there's such a huge amount of this sort of film floating around Youtube that I don't tend to watch them when they come up on BiM. There are probably other people who feel similarly. By all means, make the films that you want to make, but you have to understand that some types of films are going to be less appealing to people who have seen a fair amount of brickfilms (particularly fights and gunfights).

I think another part of your problem might be that you've only been actively posting on the forums for less than a week now. Posting on the forums is a good way to get other members interested in your films- they see you around reviewing their stuff and they think "hey, I wonder what this guy has made", so they go to your page and look at your films (and if they're nice, return the favor by reviewing one of them). It looks like you're off to a good start in this respect, you just haven't been around for long enough that people know your name. You mention subscriber count in your first post, but in my experience the amount a member participates in the BiM community is a better indicator of how much feedback a film receives.

There is more content posted on this site on a regular basis than the average person can take the time to watch and comment, so they tend to focus on films by people whose work they've enjoyed in the past.

I don't think YouTube subscriber count is relevant here, it has more to do with who has a track record of producing quality films and posting them on this site.

It's true that unlike YouTube, 'Star Wars' and other themes aren't likely to win over a lot of people, simply because these topics have been done so many times.

At the same time, the three of your films that I could find on this site have very low framerates, sets that do not fill the entire frame, and often feature characters that are completely out of focus. We have many members here (even undoubtedly in your age range) who produce first films that look much better than this. I'm not saying anybody hates you or that you can't get better, but if you want to get more recognition on a site with a lot of good films being posted on it, the fastest way to achieve this is to work on improving the quality of your films.

Simple things like building more complete sets (whether out of LEGO or creatively out of whatever materials are available to you), attempting a higher framerate and avoiding shots that are simply still images, and making sure the shots are in focus would go a long way to improving the quality of your work.

All these same things apply to voice acting. While there is probably more demand for voice acting than this site can provide (which is why I had to rely on friends and family for voice acting for the first several years I made LEGO movies), you'll get more responses if you have a track record of making films that show you're putting some serious effort in and trying your best to produce something of quality.

You also haven't really been very involved in this site. Ten posts, most of them in the past week. The members who are well known within this site are people who have made an effort to be active in it. Of your ten posts on this site, seven are about your own projects, and three are in releases threads, which is good, but your comments are all single, short sentences. If you give others feedback and try to be a part of the community, you're more likely to get feedback on your own work.

Do you have any examples of this?

I see what you are all saying and trying to find friends is hard, those three films aren't all my brickfilms I have a lot more old ones.  I work on my films as hard as I can but right now I am still a "noob" at brickfilming. I take the time to watch other people's  mini movies even if I am over loaded with work.

Everyone says "Action, Star wars films are bland overused" I GET IT. I am working on a new stop motion series that nobody has ever done this kind.

Thanks

Have you heard of Andrew Lloyd Weber? He's a theatrical whiz that nobody likes. One time, he asks his hairdresser why everybody hates him soon after meeting him. His hairdresser said: "Saves time".

This is so true AJ! There.are still Star Wars and other IP films turning heads but you really have to work hard to make yours stand out.
