Topic: Review Panel Applications Closed

You read that right.

We're looking for applicants to join the review panel.  It's not a particularly glamorous job, so the thing that seems to deter people from wanting to review films for the directory on the review panel is actually joining it.

Reviews for the directory should be well-written, and not linger on technical minutia.  The purpose of these reviews is not to give the filmmaker feedback, but to help users decide whether or not they should view a particular film in the directory.  Panel members are also responsible for confirming content ratings, and rating the films on the "staff ratings" criteria.

If you're interested in joining, please submit two reviews to us by private message to Review Panel; you can do so on this page.  Please don't review Brickfilming "classics" such as Grace, Unrenewable or The River.  Instead, try reviewing recent releases, perhaps even ones of questionable quality that are just good enough to get a "recommended" status.

Note that we only want serious applicants who will be willing and able to review/process films on a regular basis.  We've had several people join, review a couple of films, and never contribute again; it's not particularly helpful.

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

I really want this job. I applied last time but didn't get through. I will try to do a realistic review, not a really long one, because I won't do that for every film in the future. Short and snappy I shall be mini/smile

I am planning on applying today, but I am rather busy at the moment...

Into the darkness once more. I walk into the unknown. To a far better life than I've ever known.

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

I am considering it, but TBH I think my reviews are a bit harsh, I would probably come under the "review a couple of films, and never contribute again" category anyway.

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

When will you tell us if we got cut or not? It said my message was delivered but not read D:<.

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

The messages are just sitting in the Review Panel inbox, we may not get around to reading them for a couple of weeks.  So yeah, don't delete them from your outbox right now.

There is no specific deadline for this, but once we have what seems to be enough good applicants, we'll close applications -- so you're encouraged to submit an application sooner rather than later.

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

I'll try, but I have two questions: 1.) Do we have to have already made these reviews before now, or could we just make them right now specifically because of the review panel applications, and 2.) Do we just send the review in a PM to the Review Panel thingy or do we have to copy the review and post it on the film thread also?

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

I think I might apply. Oh, and btw, I submitted a film a while ago, and now I want to take it back. Could you delete it?

Either is fine.

and 2.) Do we just send the review in a PM to the Review Panel thingy or do we have to copy the review and post it on the film thread also?

You only have to submit it by PM.  It'd be helpful if you included a link to the film of course.

We usually prefer not to delete stuff, unless there was a problem with the submission process.


Please try to keep your applications to a single PM, not one PM per review.  And again, don't review highly popular movies that pretty much everybody here likes; reading a review in which you gush about how great a particular video is for a paragraph doesn't tell us much about your ability to look at a film critically.

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

My reviews are sent, and i'm excited.

Good luck to everyone entering =]

I LURK MORE THAN I POST]

Re: Review Panel Applications Closed

I might now be able to make my reviews until Tuesday at the soonest though, but from then on I think I'll have a steady internet access.

I forgo adding a link, but I did add the title and the director. Do I need to resend ?
