hey guys I sumbitted a film yesterday and a different film today I was just wondering does anyone know how long it takes to get reviewed by the bricksinmotion staff? please answer!!
.
Depends. Sometimes it only takes like 3 days and sometimes it can take a few weeks.
oh yikes 
.It's not that bad, you just have to be patient 
does every film get to the directory or only the good ones?
.
Just try to not care about it, then it will go a lot faster.
Only the best get "recommended" status, which means they are reviewed by the panel and appear on the front page. Most are at least processed and get a set of ratings from the panel, and are searchable in the search bar. Below that, some of relatively low quality are rejected.
oh... will they tell me if they reject it?
.
Yes, you'd get an email notification in that case.
okay so I noticed one of fancy Pants' films just got reviewed when he released it 2 days ago yet my two films were released weeks ago and mine haven't got reviewed yet 
. Does this mean my film doesn't get reviewed :S.
.
Please, read through the last thread you made.
If you haven't been notified, you haven't been reviewed or rejected. You're still waiting in line.
then how come fancyoants got his film reviewed faster than everyones?
.
Unfortunately, our reviewers are human. Mostly students, as well. It seems to me that some are partial to certain animators, and will review them no matter what place they are at in the queue, instead of reviewing the films as they come, like they should. But do not fret, your film will get into the directory.
Yeah, if there's a popular film that a reviewer has already seen and the reviewer has 5 minutes to spare, it's quite likely they'll make use of these 5 minutes to review a film they've seen instead of doing nothing because they don't have time to watch and rate and/or review a new film. It makes practical sense to do so and I'm not going to tell them to stop doing it. The guideline we use is that reviewers are only allowed to review films in the oldest 25 -- there are currently 40 films in the queue.
It'd be nice if the review process were a little faster, but to be honest I wish people didn't care so much about the timing of their films being reviewed. It's certainly never been something I waited for with bated breath on my own films, which have taken weeks or months to be reviewed on occasion. Most users on this site check the releases forum anyway, the directory is primarily just a searchable, navigable database of films to make it easier to look them up after they've sunk past the first couple pages of the releases forum.
Besides all that, Fancypants submitted his film the 31st of October, and you submitted yours November 14th. You need to get your facts straight kid! (lol, Han Solo). So he posted his long before you posted yours.
*facepalm* I don't know what's going on a bunch of videos made only like 3 or 4 days before mine were in the directory like 1-2 weeks ago mine isn't in the recomended or the other! I haven't been notified on anything what's happening?
.That's because they're only recommended if they're EXTREMELY SUPER AWESOME.
