It was…NOT LOCKED!

Oh, how I wish I could’ve made a snarky e-mail reply to the agency…

In music we called this Demo-itis, where the band hated the sound of the much better recorded, mixed, and mastered version of their single because they had Stockholm syndrome for the demo they recorded themselves on a cassette tape in a basement.

ouch.

Not four words, but I thought I’d share anyway: Joanne got an e-mail from a producer the other evening. They wanted her to work that night and the next day on a shot a junior was having a difficult time with. The producer said " . . .and the good news is, you won’t have to start from scratch."

I think they are, I’ve mail-ordered them since moving away :sunglasses: clients always used to insist on them when I was working down the street!

“Should be true lifts”

“Cut should be locked”

Basically, anything with “should” in the sentence.

And the worst of all time, one that still makes me shake in my sandals:

“print-based art director” or “print-based creative director”.

The amount of lifts that aren’t lifts…ugh… My favorite is when they start finish with the shorter edits, tell us the shots will be lifts and used in the 60’s so we add a lot of heads/tails to cover ourselves, you conform the longer edits and they’ve picked another shot.
