Topic: Review Panel - Results Posted

So here's the deal: the queue of films needing to be reviewed is up to 126, so we're hoping to find some more reviewers to help us keep up with the demand.  Anyone who is a member of this site can apply to join us!

Your Application

If you've never reviewed a film in the bricksinmotion.com releases forum before, please don't bother applying.  If you have, and would like to join the review panel, submit two full paragraph-length (or longer) reviews of brickfilms.  These may be reviews you've already posted in the past or they may be written for the purpose of the application.

PM your review samples to Review Panel.  If the reviews are preexisting they are probably written to the filmmaker, note that reviews for the directory itself are aimed at potential viewers so the style will vary slightly.

The application is, of course, not the only thing we'll be taking into consideration of applicants.  Your regular participation / contributions to the forums since you joined this site will also be an important consideration.  We're looking for mature, contributing members who will be reliable in contributing reviews regularly, and be able to write compelling reviews that are worth taking the time to read.  If you are very busy with school during the school year and would not be able to review very often during this time, you're probably not what we're looking for, so only apply if you can contribute regularly.  After new additions to the panel have been on a few months, we will probably evaluate and remove any who aren't contributing.

Applications will close Friday, September 11th.

Thank you, and good luck! mini/smile

edit:

after pouring over the 21 applications we received, 5 new panel members have been selected!

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I would like to apply, but I can't be bothered to do it properly..

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I have the same problem as Rsteenoven. I'll just let my charms do their work. That, and my very generous 4 t-shirts.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I will certainly try for a spot.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I will try out too. Although I have a request. Can I be tested with films to review?

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

Sure, just review any of the recent "recommended" films in the directory except Unrenewable.  (to avoid bias)

I'm in for this. I have nothing else to do anyways. mini/wink

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I'll try out for this.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

Okay, I've received two applications so far and both of them only contain one review.  I think the guidelines in the first post are pretty clear that two reviews are expected.

I'm not even joking that said one, I swear.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

Is it alright if I e-mail them instead?

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

No, PMing them only takes one click though.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I might send in a few reviews. I tend to be good at that sort of stuff.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I'm going to send in a review, Sméagol. I think that being part of the Review Panel is right for me, and I have lots of free time!

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

Thanks for the applications so far guys.

A few tips: You may not want to just review some of your favorites.  Pick a decent, but not amazing, film, and try to write a compelling review about that.  It'll give us a better idea of what to expect than one paragraph gushing about how amazing a film is.

And yeah, please avoid submitting reviews of Unrenewable, or for that matter any of my films, if possible.

Sent in my application.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

Say we apply and are accepted, what kind of "work-load" would we be expected to produce?

In chat, Smeagol said making some free time to review a couple of films once every week would be lovely.

Re: Review Panel - Results Posted

I sent mine a while ago.
