I just don't like the timing part and that if you have to refill you have to use nine diamonds at a time and I only did that once.
One of my studio members films timed out and I don't think that they were very happy.
I'm assuming that you only have to remove your head gear until you've made the cover so it doesn't show up on the cover?
I'll see how I go before I form an opinion.
Firstly, there is a 'Show Headgear' checkbox on Your Star tab. Check the bottom right, though I do believe there is a minimum level for it.
I've performed 3 new films (I think, maybe 4) on the new system and each one has been a 3-star movie without significant stress, despite a few bugs and kinks. I've never once had to spend any diamonds to refill the energy, though sometimes I do cut the time close. Sometimes it's simply better to go for guaranteed, lesser film points.
Before the change, my films always seemed completely chance based on their ratings.
Aside from that, I do appreciate that it's a new energy system altogether, which means I can keep my head a bit more occupied while travelling with my phone, at least for about 25-45 minutes every 8 hours.
I don't know if this post is helpful, more or less, but, nevertheless, cheers.
