hi, well done on providing more text for us to consider with this submission to @dreemport

For me it is still a post where the focus is on the video, and not the text, and that makes it a difficult match

Sort:  

Please I want to understand better
Is it the case that musical posts are not acceptable on dreemport?

others may have a different view. But the focus on Dreemport is the written word. For me that means any picture/video/audio has to be secondary to the written portion of the submission.

For yours the video is the key portion of the submission. You could post the video on 3speak with no written content and it stands by itself. If you took the video out of the submission, it doesn't hold.

As I said, the written part of the submission is more in line with what's looked for, but for me I think you need dwell on the guidelines (below), and possibly check out what others may think in the Discord

Please understand that while DreemPort honors the work that it takes to produce beautiful art, videography, photography, music, etc. and also recognizes that those posts are very well-received on other platforms - the primary focus of DreemPort is the emphasis on the written language. Any post that primarily focuses on the media used in the post will most likely be eliminated by the Guild.

please do not take this as a diminution of the fine work in your video! I'm just not sure that a post focused on the video of you producing a fine recording meets the required emphasis on written language.

I totally understand your point, thanks for your constructive criticism

But i also think that if it is not fitting for dreemport, then the submission wouldn't have been accepted. And on several occasions I have been awarded 1st place ranking, so this is why I am also confused. Or what do you think?🙄

well, if the post is judged on overall merit, it is a fine post.

and I think what may have been happening is folks judging for the post itself, and not whether it is a post that fits within the guidelines for @dreemport

imagine you entered a pie into a cooking competition and a whole bunch of people thought the pie tasted wonderful and gave it a high mark, but they had forgotten the table your pie was on was the cake section and they should have been judging it as a cake, and not a pie.

like I said, it could be worthwhile to ask in the discord channel for clarification

It's fine man
Thanks and have a great day
