i will make the call, he owns me money from the last job and alot of money from the past. one of his clients went out of business and he should receive an offer soon and he will make me an offer on past money. but he still owns me for the last job a small amount (the one that he was nit picking on, said i took to long to do this and someone else would have taken less time, i dont think so there were 3 changes done to this job and i did it) well he just came to me with a new job the other day, i still did not talk to him about this job and did not start yet. what should i do when i call this guy can someone give me some pointers. thanks for everybody so far that replied to this post. i want to fix the relationship for a number of reasons , so i get more future work and hopefully a good amount of money for past jobs. what do you think. And how should I attack future jobs with this guy so there is no surprise at the end?

i would have told him where to go! i need the money from his jobs and he is a pain in the ….
how can i make this work? there hasn’t been any problems for 4 years and know he is nit picking. and he own’s me some money for the last job that he makes up a story about to many hours spent. what is a pro approach to take? -
can someone include some good terms for a contract for hourly and or flat rate, how should i approach the job as it comes in, what are some good steps to fallow??

i finally got paid for that job, it should have been c.o.d but at least i got it. i have another job on the go with this guy do i hold the product back if he doesn’t pay c.o.d? he has been paying for all new jobs but the past big money that he owns me has not come in yet. he said just give him some time, he is still in courts with his client and will give me money when he gets it …i hope…what should i do about this?

i guess i will keep it at 29.97 i can’t watch it on my computer my drive in not fast enough. this is all pics like a slide show. would it matter about the frame rate? what would this look like in 59.94 would there be a difference in quality and performance?
-
if i deliver in 29.97 would it be a problem?
-
do i use lower field, and they did not specify the frame rate this is what i designed it in, does it matter if it’s 29.97 or 60fps…what is the standard for 720P and should I render with fields?

I said he already has the tapes, he got them picked up last week and know i’m waiting to get paid. i faxed them out with a visa form. and know i wait. is there any certain terms i should put on invoice for the future. right know it says full payment must be received upon delivery of final product.

He sent the courier to pick up the tapes and get delivered to the station last week. I still have the invoices and usually i would drop them off with the tapes, it was so much of a rush and I trusted him that if i send it out we could take care of payment in the afternoon. I don’t know if he is making excusses or he is busy for real. he paid me in the past everything that he got paid on, now he owns me money for the new jobs and they money from the past is pritty high and i’m willing to settle on something for that because he got stiffed on that work. is this right of me to settle on an offer, he did not offer anything yet, he is still waitng on the offer from the people who stiffed him….that offer should be coming in soon. how do i fix this problem about the new jobs for now? after that is fixed, we can talk about the old jobs. is this a right thing to do? i realy on this money and these jobs. it’s good money. but a lot of bull. How do i fix this for this week? do i be paciant or be agressive? do i take on future work if he does’t payme for the jobs compleated, or wait and he will pay me one day. in the past it used to be about 3 months for this guy to cut a check and now it’s a liitle faster. what do i do about this? he does not have much work load as befor but it’s still not bad. some people say that respect goes a long way if i respect him he will eventually take care of this? i dont know anymore, what are you guys doing? i don’t want to loose him but i can’t let this go higher than what his past dues are. some people say forget about the money that he ows me and keep the relationship good and continue working.

i know your right . I trusted him because he always paid me for jobs he got paid for. he paid me cod on the rest of this years jobs and i did not thnk that there was going to be a problem. the tapes had to go to the station right away it was going to air…so i trusted him a figured we would take care of this in the afternoon.. he gives me alot of work and how do i get my money know? and my past money? i don’t have to much clients this is a small post house and the clients i have keep us busy…so what do i do? i stil have the invoices with me because i did not see him yet. i dont want to loose him but it is so hard to work like this and keep him. any suggestions?
