Have you discussed this with the “friend”? I would send him the bill. Who needs friends that bring scum t the table.
You absolutely should have taken the card info. One of us could have processed the card for you. Not exactly kosher, but not illegal either.

Antonio,
You are NOT wasting anyone’s time. We are a rather friendly group who can all laugh together. Some of us who speak English as our native language can’t make sense of each other’s comments.However, your “cure for boldness” remark still has me in stitches. I can think of a dozen people on the COW who need a “cure for boldness”. Thanks for a great laugh.

Bad pixels are not normal for the first few (5) years. They are always easier to spot with the gain up. Sony has a pixel masking technology built into their 2/3″ cameras and it’s been known to help smaller units. Black balance in each gain setting, reoeatedly. Hope it helps.

And if you switch the gain all the way up, you’ll probably see many more..

[Rafael Amador] “They call it a “fixer”. “
A “fixer”? I would think that the term would be closer to “Location Ambassador” or something else with lots of letters. We did this once in Dallas and paid someone $350 a day to perform the same service for 3 days, plus expenses. Ummmm. That we around 12 years ago.

Wouldn’t dream of it. Frankly, I would tell them that I was headed down to the EEOC to file a complaint on the back wages thing, so, their little paper would have to wait. NO ONE is going to buy a company with EEOC charges against them. However, with all back monies paid and a little bonus, signing the paper might be a consideration.

A friend of mine has a client contract that he never wavers from. In there, it states that he is in no way responsible if ANYTHING technical goes wrong. In almost 30 years, he has exercised that exclusion 4 times, twice for bad tapes, once for a horrible sound recording on a bride’s wireless mic and once for a camcorder simply crapping out. Because these were low budget shoots, there was no second unit for safety.
Last year, I shot something for an out of town client with our Sony F-900 camera (F-900s cost over $100k). When the client got back to Pittsburgh, the recording on the tape was useless, or so he said. He sent it back. It was jumpy everywhere. Sony looked at it and could not determine the cause except they said that the camera might have caused it. They also said that it could have been the tape deck that they put it in. Every time we had a break, I reviewed the previous footage and it played just fine. I did not process the $2000 invoice. Ouch!
