July 10, 2008 at 5:31 pm[Kevin Hanley] “…clients who pay the least actually expect the most.”
One of the fundamental truths of the article “Clients or Grinders.”
It’s insane that the ones that demand the most are nearly always the ones who want to pay the least — if they want to pay at all — and will often treat you with abhorrent contempt while doing it.
No thanks. If you need filler for a demo reel, there are far better ways to get it.
There is no real money in working with grinders. “Busy” does not make a business. “Profit” makes a business.
Best regards,
Ron Lindeboom

That’s my boy! Go get em Mads. I’ve had this same crap happen several times with agencies and I am very hesitant to work with them.

I don’t think you’d need to go to the expense of suing them. If you were to shell out for a session with a lawyer and a solicitor’s letter (if the lawyer advised it), wouldn’t that give the director pause for thought?

Nope, agree, it is never worth going to court.
A thought; one could risk someone asking the Director of the NGO “Who did that bad encoding job?” – is she going to say, my in-house AV person or name the production company?
Peter has every right to make sure that his productions are displayed properly, even if the client doesn’t appreciate the service offered.All the Best
