BTW: We're almost at 600 subs already! Daaaamn

Very important advice for our work, i was very unprofessional because it took me a lot to develop that part of the work (understand), all the corrections and all that... I learned not to fall in love with certain jobs until they were fully approved. And if I like them a lot, I save a version for my reel, but you have to learn to live with the different points of view and tastes of whoever is hiring you. Because many times we think that whoever hires us is because they have already seen our work and they have to like what you present to them. And really no, they really contact you because they liked what they saw but also, because they saw potential in you to be able to develop different options for them, that you are a capable person, and that you are not just a person for a single project that looks like something. what they saw in your reel. Maybe sometimes yes, sometimes they like something specific and they contact you because they want something similar, but we must have the other mentality, as colorists, or as editors, this whole world of post production

You just gained a sub sir! Love the real talk. Happened to me as well when the client told me that they were satisfied with the log footage 😂 Got me pretty dumbfounded. Looking forward to more sharing sessions like these 👍🏼

You‘re welcome! :)

Appreciate your thoughts on real life situations like this. There are always different scenarios, but I think talking through them in real time is useful. Biggest takeaway that you nailed was 'Don't take it personally' - that's how the business works and sometimes it leans in your favor and sometimes you just have to fulfill a client's needs despite your best efforts to change their minds.

That’s EXACTLY what I decided on in terms of my thoughts :)

I have had clients tell me to do utterly insane things in the suite.. You can always take your name off it if they won't budge on a bad creative decision and you don't want to be associated with an underwhelming product. At the end of the day, just make sure the $$$ hits your bank account ;)

THX, please, ccn you make video how save version of grade and export (not JPG) but the whole project. How to send this version... How better cooperate / what file formats to send (EXT,...) How do you set up your workflow / what do you think is the best and worst? How to proceed when the client uses Adobe for editing/cut.

Great video ideas! Thank you for that :)

Unrelated to the topic of the video... Do you charge a day rate or hourly rate?

Day rate! I also start at at least a day. Only in rare cases I do half days. So it’s like this: 1 day / 1.5 days / 2 days / etc.

​@@Gavin_Haughey_Colorist Okay thanks! I noticed that day rates are more popular than the hourly rate. It also just makes sense as well.
