  4. Thanks Mahesh, we will really appreciate it.
    Also i would like to "clarify" the situation,
    we will try our best to give feedback reviews to anyone that wants them.
    Of course, we will also try not to "repeat" ourselves on what will be reviewed, for example, if we think that two or more people are at about the same level, and the shots are pretty similar( eg bouncing balls / standard walk cycles etc.) we will point you towards those posts already reviewed.
    That is what we meant by building an "animation resource " website.
    Also, since we are doing this on our spare time, and we also are working in production, bear with us, and will take a little bit of time to reply to everyone.

  9. I was just wondering how we know if our submission was successful. I think mine went through, but not I'm entirely sure.

    Thanks for doing this too! It is such a wonderful idea, and it's so generous of you guys to lend your time to us!

  10. Hi Jennifer,
    right after you click "Send", you should see a message saying " you have successfully submitted" or something like that, is a very quick message, than the forum will redirected you to the main page.
    Since we are using free services, is a standard forum and not so advanced method of submission, unfortunately this is going to stay as it is, for the moment.
    It is very important that you "Preview" your message before submitting, so to check for mistakes, and if you are going to be redirected automatically after you clicked Send, this means that the message went trought fine.
    Also, please allow few days for us to review your works, due to the amount of submissions and our free time, we can't garantee a quick response to everyone.
    Also keep in mind that demoreels review take more time and effort in reviewing compared to single shots.

  13. Hi Pandalope, unfortunately it someting that i can't change, because of the way the forum is built.
    BUT, have you tried with the embed code? because we are receiving lots of submission correctly.
    If you still have problems:
    Post the link without using "http://" or "www." or "."
    Try something like this instead : "h++p://" or "vvv." or "dot"
    so the forum will not recognise it as an html link.
    Im sorry for the inconvenient, but its something we can't fix at the moment, we hope in the future to have a better submission method.
