Re: difficulties with clients
by Steve Wargo on Apr 4, 2008 at 6:49:14 am

A very wise answer Todd. I think that Lisa is concerned that she would be putting out a job that she would not be proud of. I go through this with my editor about once a month. I have to tell him "They are paying the bill. Give them what they want". If it is pure crap, I can send it out the door.

I shot a feature film a few years ago and the client took a DVD of the rough cut and created a trailer from it. Horrible. Boring. Didn't make an ounce on sense. I've showed it to others and they all agree. My editor cut a really sharp trailer that actually enticed a person to watch this movie. The client said that they didn't like it and to send their version with the deliverables to the distributor. The distributor called us and said that our trailer was one of the worst they'd seen, nicely, but that's what they said. I directed them to our trailer that was posted on-line and they loved it. They called the client and said that they wanted to use our trailer and the client called us and ripped into us for not liking their work. It's available on NetFlix and I keep wanting to rent it to see what the distributed DVD looks like.
