  1. Here's what I think the Revenge Reanimated Collab did wrong, just for future reference for you potential collab hosts in the future. I'm not here to call out the hosts or anyone participating, just to point out what went wrong throughout.

    First of all, there was an extremely frustrating lack of communication. There were no Discord mentions ever from either of the collab hosts when they told us very important information, such as:

    • Switching collab hosts
    • Nearing deadline
    • There are still people who need to submit an entry
    • Hosts don't know who still need to submit

    This lack of communication caused my problem. I submitted both my entries to the first host months ago, which he confirmed, and I assumed I was safe. Check back into that channel for fun in late September, and I find out the host is switched and the new host doesn't think I even submitted anything. If I had never checked in, my part of the collab would be completely missing. If the deadline is that close and has been delayed so many times, you need to tell people instead of blaming them for being lazy. The deadline was missed so many times because people either forgot the deadline or thought they were fine. I don't know how many people finished but weren't in the video, but judging by the fact a third of the final video is just the original, I can't be the only one.

    You can't just assume people will constantly check back on the channel. Please tell people things. Also, manage your entries better. I don't know how my entries were lost in translation, nor how many others were lost.

    Secondly, the editing wasn't the best. There wasn't a huge effort to sync stuff to the music. I get that it was rushed, but again, it didn't have to be rushed. The video itself feels scrambled together. When watching the video you can tell there were huge problems in the development of it. I get that the host editing it probably felt overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. In the host's mind at the time, half the people who entered are totally flaking out and not submitting their entries. That's not the case for most of it, but all of this would have been solved if the hosts kept constant communication with their entrants. Delay it again if you have to, just never leave blank spots in a collab. It's absolutely messy and completely takes away from any positive aspect of the video.

    Also, I wasn't tagged in the topic, even though I was in the video. Not a big deal, I just don't know why that happened or what went wrong. Maybe they were using an outdated list, maybe it's partially for the same reason they didn't have my submission. Either way there was something to be handled better there.

    Again, no disrespect towards either of the hosts. They didn't realize what they were doing wrong and didn't know what to do in certain situations. I'm not here to chastise them, just to point out what can be handled better in future collabs. I know from personal experience that both hosts are cool and talented dudes. Mistakes were made along the way, which is okay! But they're worth talking about.

    That'll be all, thank you.
