usually the rejections come through in a separate email @oliverM, so it wasn't that it was reviewed alone, it was the only one rejected.

Also, if you are asking why it was rejected, you can see vibrations during the clip and a lot at the end.

Yes, vibration of either wind or touching the tripod by mistake.

It has a lot of vibrations and more than half of the video you only see his ass.
Looks like it was a windy day.

I filmed a landscape painter out in the woods. It was rejected for not having a model release. Do you need a model release for that? Isn't it just editorial?
Secondly, I shot a very wide shot and a close one. The wide one gets rejected as well because the curator 'picked one from identical batch'. (which was rejected for not having model release..??!) Isn't it very good practice to shoot a wide and close shot from the same scene? That's what editors want, is what I have learned and done and used all my life...

I also have riders (shots attached to car) through different neighborhoods of Utrecht, one of the major cities in the Netherlands. It was a beautiful day and the shots are nice and have unique content. All rejected:

"Thanks for the upload but we have decided not to include this clip as part of our collection. This is because we are in the process of applying stricter standards and increasing our scrutiny of submissions to improve the overall quality of accepted submissions into the database."

The last shot was of a 35 mile long dike (the Afsluitdijk) as I enter the sluice. This is a historic place and an engineering marvel. No other shot like this exists...

We need higher IQ on some of the curator's end. Probably too much to ask for. Very frustrating.

Mmm, I guess I'm doing something wrong... How can I share rejected clips here?
