lol

I’ve never had this request but I’d not aid another post-house with raw files in this case. I’d simpkly explain the time that has passed, the impossibility of that happening and mention how much money they’d save by returning to the place that is familiar with the project.
of course, I’d have to ask why they were wanting to spend that extra money. I’d see it as a failure on my part and make sure they know I see it that way. I’d do what I had to to get em back into my place, not in someone else’s.

Check your dynamic relink settings.

[Grinner Hester]

Yes. You are not a freelancer. You are a staffer and if your employer is not making money off of you, well, he has no need for you.
You don’t really think you have a 9-5er gig do ya?
You’d have to wear nice breeches and mess with paper work for that.

[Grinner Hester]

Whaaaaaat?
Shoot, aint nobody splitting profits. This is not a partnership. I’m simply a squatter. Math will only come into play at lunch.
😉

[Grinner Hester]

I hear ya.
I’ve been window shoppin’ locations for a little more than a year. Anything that I like or would be ideal has been out of my budget’s comfort zone. I even enetertained moving into a neaby use to be mall, now state-funded art center. I could afford it but it in no way would have been a step up. This opportunity came to me.
I reckin’ John Lennon knew what he was talkin’ about when he spoke of life happening as we make plans.

[Grinner Hester]

ahhhhh. So he just wants free consultation.
Be sure to not include details on the bid. It’s irrelevant, afterall. Just put a bigass price on it.

[Grinner Hester]

thanks, brudda.
Yeah they do know I’ll be comfy in there. I met this dude 8 years ago when he moved my family here from Indianapolis for a staff position. I showed up the interview in a tie-dyed shirt and sandles. lol
It’s why he wants me in his building. Sometimes people forget we are in a creative industry. Hence the dockers you see that can easily scare away clientele.
Put yourself in an ad agency’s shoes. You have a spot that needs wit and creativity done by next Monday. You talk to one production company that has preppy clean cut accounting lookin’ dudes walkin’ around. You then visit a place with a barefoot guy burning insense who calls ya dude. I know which place I’d go to to get my taxes done but I surely know who I’d put in charge of my creative.
It’s a ying and yang thang. He already has the ying. I’m bringin’ the yang. I’m a bit yangy and could use some ying. It’ll be all good for both of us. PLus, it really will be good for me to get out of the house. To be able to edit without a dog that barks at every motion outside will be a treat.

[Grinner Hester]

I will, man. I know these guys well and we all get along great. We don’t compete for the same clients in any way. It’ll be all good for everyone. Almost makes me wish we’d have done this years ago.

Looks vary these days:
