After hours and hours of editing instead of sleeping, trying to make it better than the last video, when the movie is finally done, that you've watch it again and again to be sure everything is in place, comes the time to upload it to WCM.
And sometimes, your movie is released with 10 other in the middle of the night, and no one gets to see it.
That's what happened 24 hours ago to my last movie, Never Stay Tuned (http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=40263).
It was recommended while it still was in the unapproved movie section, I know it's WCM way to tag a movie and it does not mean that the movie is gonna be recommended.
But it means one thing, they saw it, they know that the movie is not a simple first pvp movie made with a video cellular phone.
Anyway, my movie was released at the speed of light after uploading, and is now lost in the middle of nowhere.
It's not mine to judge my movie, but man, I can tell that it's at least as good as an Elf On (http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=39755) which was announce 3 days before released on the top right corner of the homepage, recommended and still in the spotlights days after.
This is unfortunately not the first time this kinda things happend to me, like for exemple the Bull Gnome (http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=38392).
Once, I had the chance Gedan saw I'm only sleeping (http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=39043) and decided to make it movie of the day and recommended it.
But only 5 hours later, another movie was promoted movie of the day by another moderator or some anti-french-gnome automatic script.:(
So as you could read, I'm pretty mad and sad. Our job as machinima editors is to make movies the best we can, and I'm really trying hard to.
As the best Warcraft machinima website, I think WCM's job is to help us a little promoting our works regardless of our fame, just looking at the quality of the movies we upload in a fair way.
Now, maybe should I get some sleep when I come back from work for a moment. Maybe am I over reacting, this is perhaps just a useless hobbie after all, and WCM a beast that needs to be feed with full buckets of images and tons of clics.
