It was a 12 foot wide, 100 foot long painters drop cloth on a roll. This was a single layer. I thought it was a bit too soft but they loved it. the client always wins.

Had a shoot last month with Kobe Bryant and the producer wanted the background way out of focus. We were in a hotel suite and we set the camera (Sony EX-1) right next to the bathroom door and put Kobe about 6 feet away on a chair. The wall in the background had pictures on the wall and there was a lamp on a table. We used a painters plastic from a a paint store and hung it, floor to ceiling, just in front of the lamp. It was certainly soft, just like they wanted. A little too soft for my taste but that’s just me.

We had the same situation a few years ago and we solved it this way..
We cut the piece together with the music they wanted. When we were done, however, we gave them a master without the music. It was now their task to figure out how to play the same music from some device or, if they have any kids who are into pirating music and putting songs together, they can do a custom DVD for them.
As far as a legal document, have them purchase an insurance policy that will pay all of your legal expenses in the event that they (you) are busted. Or, have them put $50k on deposit with you.
Best thing is to say “You are asking me to break the law”. the conversation should end right there.
ASCAP-BMI has a system in place that rewards hotel A/V for info on companies that use unlicensed music at conferences.

I guess that the 700 was a temporary thing.
Just like buying a computer that’s out of date the day you take delivery.
Do you have a price point, Peter?

Canon does not make a tape deck. They recommend that you use the camera. That way, you’ll destroy the tape transport and buy more cameras. Really a sad way to do business.

[Nick Griffin] “When I called back to speak to the guy who runs the company”
Did you send the boss a card thanking him for years of service and a “sorry we won’t be using you anymore”?
Don’t forget to ask if he knows anyone that can fill their shoes. That would be like twisting the knife (in the accounting manager).

[Stuart Cummings] “They were kinda pricey-i think they were about 140 each”
I wouldn’t call that pricey – comparativly speaking, that is.
