    While I put my show logo on every show that is mine, man I’d never run a client off by paisting my crap on their video.

    A fella was found in a burning bed.
    He was covered in bad burns when they got him out of there. When asked how his bed cought on fire, he replied “I dunno, it was on fire when I laid down on it.”

    Don’t lay on a burnin’ bed, man. Milk that old goat till there aint no more milk. Go swappin nipples and things can dry up on ya. I cold go on and on with analogies. My advice is to fire it up, hear the chime and go “sweeeet.”

    man, I’d run it as is. You are entering no man’s land by tinkering with it today and it’ll run till the hardware croaks if ya just let it ride.

    It sounds like you know what to do. If you want to work with them again, you’ll eat this one and bid better next time. If not, you’ll add so much to the invoice that you don’t get paid at all.
    Be careful. Think it through. Take a good long weekend to have fun before making your decision.

  • You know you won’t get it next time and of course, nobody can add 75 percent to their bid just because they made a msitake bidding it. Eat it. Pretend to be happy about it if you want more work from them.

    The short answer is falling victim to Avid’s on-going semi-truthful, mostly not marketing without proper education.

    They are not asking for his copy of AE. They are asking him for the project they purchased. This is an opportunity, not a delemma. make em happy. And again, let them know your consultation fee. Never have I sent a client a comp without them paying to have some dude call and pick my brain. This does not cannibalize, not if you do things they can’t. Their next project will be different. They’ll call you, assuiming they have no beef with you for not sending a disc they don’t know what to do with.

    He’s not incorrect but giving a gal a hard time on the phone is wrong. It’s as easy as passing. We all take and pass on gigs all the time. Nobody has to be an angry asshat about it.
    Poor old guy needs a beer, a bowl or a blow job. Dadgum, I can’t imagine being on a set or in a suite with a tool that fussy.
    I was cracking up when he busted out with “I gave an interview… a very interesting interview…” lol
    While he may have given an interview, I imagine how interesting it was revolved around who was watching. I didn’t make it though this entire rant, let along a babblefest about Babalon.

    Throw it on a disc with a smile, man. When they have their intern call with questions refer to your consultation fee.
