- Oppose At least the first 20 seconds are really not all that interesting. I'm sure it was a great IRL, but this kind of experience doesn't translate well to video. The final wave is kind of fun, though, so I might support a clip showing only that. --El Grafo (talk) 08:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- @El Grafo: Thanks for the feedback. The final wave is what I was waiting for, so if this isn't successful I'll submit a shorter clip just of that - but I got the impression that longer was better here? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 09:57, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Show what is interesting, not less and not more. A couple of seconds at the beginning to set the scene is a good idea, but who wants to wait 2/3 of a clip's length for something to happen? Unless you have some sort of narrative that builds up to a climax, of course, but that's not the case here.
- You're not alone, though. In my very personal opinion, a majority of the videos presented here are way too long for what is shown (or have too little content given their length). I think this may be a matter of mindset. People often seem to think along the lines of "I have this footage, what can I do with it?". For the viewer, it would usually be better to ask "I want to show XY, which parts of my footage are useful for that and how do I need to arrange them?" - then cut anything that does not serve a purpose.

- Hello, I would like to nominate Disney's animated short film Steamboat Willie which has not been uploaded yet. The reason is that the film will famously enter the Public Domain on 1 January 2024 and I would like to showcase it on the Commons Main Page on that exact day (I would upload it on Commons on the evening of 31 December 2023).

- Oppose Probably a very nice memory for those who participated, but for everyone else it's way too long and, more importantly, lacks a narrative. Part 1 is mostly just random parts of the boring announcements they have to make, partially cut mid-sentence, and with lots of "uuhm"s. Sorry for being blunt but who would voluntarily watch that until the end? The rest is mostly just random shots of people walking by - that's great B-roll, but not very interesting on its own.
- I'd suggest to use the most important parts of the speeches (do you have more of that?) as the main focus and just drizzle in a couple of seconds of people marching, hugging etc. here and there. Possibly even keep the audio of the speech going and just splice in some of the video from the demonstration. -- El Grafo (talk) 08:29, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Support FM for me-- Wasiul Bahar (talk) 19:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- Strong oppose Extremely low quality video to begin with, technically not deserving. As well as it being exploitative to the child. She almost certainly doesn't know it will be going on this website, so one could question the right to even post this, much less bestowing it the featured media badge. Also, someone probably needs to rename this title, it's rather long and biased.-- Sea Cow (talk) 00:28, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Sea Cow The depicted girl is my younger sister. She knows that I recorded this video to use it on the internet and she also knows that anyone can download it. I think that's more than enough to consider full consent of a child and her family, her guardians, including me, don't have any problem uploading this video to commons. Mong 30414 (talk) 19:35, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- A full consent of a child means nothing, they don't have the testamentary capacity to determine consent at this age. She has no idea the implications of putting herself on the internet at this age. I don't really care if it's allowed in Wikimedia commons, we shouldn't bestow an award on a file if there's no consent for the usage. It's morally wrong. It doesn't matter if her family thinks it's ok, exploiting a child to make yourself feel proud about an FM is completely and utterly wrong. Sea Cow (talk) 20:10, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- If a full consent of the girl means nothing, what is important to you?
- Should the little girl send mail to vrt that "look, my brother has uploaded this video of me where I am singing a song and I have full consent for this."?
- What about this image?
- People from community voted to made the image QI. Do you think that the photographer took consent from the child and the child have the capacity of knowing about commons?
- As far as I know, there is no guidelines in commons that media of a child can't be featured or quality. I don't think that very personal perspective of "morality" is a criteria for voting in featured media. Those "personal perspective of morality" varies from people to people.
- And I also don't think that featured media is a thing to be proud, at least not for me. I am not going to mention the media in my user page that "look I have a featured media and I am the author. Don't you think that I am a cool videographer?"
- Legal professionals says, parental consent is enough for photographs or videographs of children. Find out more here. This videography is completely fine from legal and ethical perspective and from the practices of commons also. If your oppose is depending on your personal opinion, that has nothing to do with legal, ethical or commons guidelines, I insist you to withdraw the oppose. Because, your personal opinion that's inconsistent with any established legal, ethical and commons guidelines, is never a criteria to judge a proposed fm. That's just your personal perspective.
- Most importantly, I nominated this media because of it's significance of content. Mong 30414 (talk) 15:44, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- Let's go over this:
- 1. The QI you provided is of exponentially more technical value, this is way worse technically then the QI provided
- 2. I don't find that to be as objectionably exploitative due to it not showcasing a video, or a talent of them. This is so much more public, and more visible of a subject.
- 3. Your entire point about my vote not being valid because it's an opinion is the biggest BS I've seen in a while. What else is an FM vote then someone else giving their opinion if it deserves to have a a featured media badge bestowed on it. This entire process is functional because of people contributing their "personal opinion". Ethical guidelines say you shouldn't exploit a child, pretty simple. Again, it's a pretty common idea that children lack the testamentary capacity to determine consent and in this case, the parents determining the consent seems somewhat exploitative, and putting someone's skills of singing on the internet without their consent is pretty crappy to do.
- 4. Don't tell me "I insist you to withdraw this oppose", you don't control how I vote, don't tell me what to do.
- 5. You nominated this media because "of it's significance of content". I'd like to harp on my original point, technically, this is pretty not great, and I don't understand how the content is anything special. Anyone could sing this. The framing of the video isn't great, there's no stabilization. It's not a high quality video in the slightest, as well as the previously explained ethical and moral dilemmas.

- Comment I feel like I'm lacking some context here. In the first 3/4 we have a very dreary vibe going on with slow shots, washed-out colors and quite a bit of vignetting. That's accompanied by soundtrack that is ... well, it felt to me as if someone made this to either mourn a place that doesn't exist any more or to build up to reveal something horrible that happened there. Partially strong contrast to what was actually shown (such as happy cat content). In the last quarter, the music suddenly picked up for a bit, feeling somewhat triumphant or hopeful, bordering on epic. But nothing really changed in the visual department that would support that change of mood. Feels like director, video editor and sound editor were all trying to tell different stories. What is supposed to be going on here? --El Grafo (talk) 12:49, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Whatever color correction was used, the artistic style of it is hurting my eyes. Also, the overreliance on drone work is deeply confusing. I just don't see what's so special. -- Sea Cow (talk) 13:59, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment @El Grafo and @Sea Cow , thanks a lot for the comments. We tried to create a nostalgic vibe for the people who have already visited the place/the alumni of the college at the first part of the video (we know, this group of audience is very low in number), then, gradually, we tried to upscale it and tried to make it brighter and hopeful. We didn't consider the artistic part only, we tried to cover every aspect of the subject place in this video. We took 500-550 raw clips following a brief list of historically important areas of the college campus which took almost 2 months. Later we selected only 50-55 shots which can be now seen in the media. I know, single shot-single scene videos are safe in terms of featured media evaluation. On the other hand, media works with a large number of small and well-planned shots are more prone to mistakes, cause you'll have to put them all together and spend hours of editing. This video has 50-55 small shots, which means it is equivalent to 50-55 one-shot type videos, and the effort behind this can never be compared to the single-scene videos. The intention behind covering every possible aspect of the subject in a single media file is to make it more appropriate to use in other Wikimedia project entries on this topic. The subject campus is even related to the history of the independence of a country, we had to include those historical corners also in this media. And we had no other option but to use drones to take those shots which couldn't be done with handheld photography equipment, for example, the position of different academic buildings and playgrounds in the whole campus, the position of the campus in the city, taller buildings, and aerial view of the crowd. Please consider these facts also while evaluating this media file. The whole work took almost 8 months and this media work has been produced just to release on Wikimedia Commons. We produced this video with a lot of restrictions, no financial and technical support, no previous experience, no fancy equipment (the drones and cameras were lent by people), and not even a high-quality monitor to work on the color. That may be a reason behind the difference between expectation and the produced work. --Wasiul Bahar (talk) 19:15, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Wasiul Bahar: Thanks for the response, I suspected something like that... First of all, let me say that I very much appreciated the fact that this is not a simple video of a single shot. Those are boring. Pulling this off is by orders of magnitude harder than most other user-created content we get to see here. I think if you consider alumni and other people with a strong connection to that place as your main audience, this a really good start. But as you say, that's only going to be a negligible fraction of the people here. With your explanations, I can now see what you were going for, but that isn't quite clear from the video itself. I'm by no means a videographer myself, but here are some ideas from an uninvolved mind that might get you closer to your intended result:
- Instead of "nostalgic" I got "dreary" vibes. Maybe tone down the vignetting a bit and try some more friendly looking color grading?
- When the music picks up, so should the visuals. That could mean a change in color grading (e.g. warmer, punchier colors). Could also mean a switch to less slow tracking, less wide angles, less drone shots, more movement, more people, more faces, more close-ups.
- Cut it down to about half the current length. Yes, I know: Ouch! Keep an "extended cut" for actual alumni, but let's face it: most other people won't have the patience to watch 5 minutes of footage about a college they never heard about before. Sorry.
- That being said: now that I've read a bit about it, I'm impressed by the whole NDEC project. Keep it up and be proud of your work! El Grafo (talk) 08:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

- @Towhidul Islam 21: , thanks a lot for your review and the vote. I assume, you voted from a good faith. You, of course, have the right to review and vote any of the fm candidates including this one. But the best-recommended practice is, since you are somehow or other connected to the subject being voted on, to review it in a more neutral style rather than just support it without any criteria being addressed, or just keeping yourself aside from direct support or oppose. This is to ensure that the organic voting process goes on its own way and doesn't get skewed to any particular guided direction. For the same reason, we, the people who are directly involved in this production is trying to be in distance from this review process. Please don't stop reviewing, you can ofc review the other fm, fi, qi or vi candidates. --Mrb Rafi (talk) 08:31, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

- Ikan Kekek I think 4 supports used to be enough for FM if there are no oppose votes but I also can't find rules for closing FMCs anywhere. MZaplotnik(talk) 13:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

- Support The repeated sharp turns from about 2:13-2:23 are regrettable, but this is certainly an interesting spectacle, and the video kept my interest pretty well. One could quibble that perhaps it could be shorter, with the long view coming earlier, but there were various interesting sights like eruptions further down the slope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:02, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

- I don't think the watermark of this video is promotional or destructive, but I'm still curious to know the exact policy of Commons in this regard. There are a number of watermarked videos in COM:FV, such as File:Mahatma Gandhi Arrives in the U.K. (1931) - British Pathé.webm, which is on the main page today. -- IamMM (talk) 08:46, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
