Because last time I was here, the admins were dicks who removed my EPIC ADVENTURE movie which does fine on my YouTube - Special Cinema Channel, but doesn't do it for the bosses of NG for some reason. Quite frankly even the people were fine with it. Not to mention, I got their permission and after granting me the right, they took it down.
All things considered, has anything changed from that time or are the admins still dicks and there are just some people there randomly supporting them and hunting down those who speak ill of the admins. If that's the case, it's no wonder NG is not popular and people prefer these other websites.
Had NG not had such good music, I'd be gone from here. In fact, I'd be totally cool if they converted this site into just musics. Anyways, please let me know in the comments below the changes taking place here and if I should consider ever making anything more for this site. Especially since, they have such a bias towards live action to a point where they would lie to you, you have been approved, and take it off.
It's no wonder people don't like NG and to think I ever believed in this website. What a fool I was. Please don't repeat my mistakes. Learn from what I've experienced this website isn't worth anything except for what they enforce like animation, musics, art, and games.

The few sections of that Epic Adventure movie I saw were far less steady than the Maradonia movie. And you may or may not know how disrespected Maradonia is among writers.
First, learn to take steady shots. Tripods. That's what they're for. Or, have someone with steady hands do the takes.
Second, sound quality. Good grief, it was heavily reverberated. You know why they hover mics over actors, even in indie short films? That's because the voices are meant to be fairly uniform in loudness unless someone is really, REALLY far away. And it is covered with foam so that it dampens the otherwise nasty echo you get in rooms with hard surfaces.
Put it simply: To do a film, you need to know your acoustics and your technique. The same for music videos and things. Setting is vital.
It didn't help that a great number of people in the General forum complained about the quality of your work already. Instead of being self-righteous and thinking that your work should be there, and not these crappy animations... Why don't you actually improve the quality of your own work?
It's easy to look at the specks in people's eyes, but it's extremely hard to look at the massive log in your own eye.

I MADE THE EXACT IMPROVEMENTS YOU DESCRIBED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAeFRTGM9ws&list=PLlcCqmE8EN-HpG4TwsIIdfWwUOdV2I3xO
Lately, I haven't released more films right away given I want some time to properly process my new works. I'm just saying that the movie did do pretty okay here and I still have the reviews saved for reminders of the stuff I need to change.

I'm just saying that this site doesn't have potential except in the music field.
