Re: difficulties with clients
by Patrick Ortman on Apr 3, 2008 at 9:54:40 pm

I know you have your solution for this problem. Which is great!

I can imagine that you'll never, ever let anyone call the shots again. I finally realized a little while ago that I am the director and unless the client has a specific, addressable problem they need help with, it's my show and my vision (previously signed off on by said client, naturally). It doesn't mean one shouldn't be open to the input of others. Just that in the end, this is your show.

That's what they pay us for, even if- depending on the shoot- we're not just playing the director but also the DP, gaffer, production designer, and janitor.

This took me a while to figure out. That's why I read the Cow. There's always much to be learned from one's peers- especially those who've been screwed before, which is pretty much all of us at one time or another. ;-)
