Revising Revised Revisions

Yes you read the title right.

It's December 20, 2005. Two weeks since one project went online. And yet here I am in the office still working on revisions for that project.

For those of you who don't know what I mean by online, it means that basically that was the final submission of CG work. That means that everything was approved and that our commitment was over.

Little did our heroes know...

Yes. Little did we know. Foreign clients did not approve our work so they asked for revisions. Something about not being grand/masculine enough. Here's how it went. From a few days before the online.

The agency enjoyed our work. They said that was fine. That was a Monday. No revisions were called in. Until Wednesday. Agency calls for a meeting. Minor revisions. Alrighty then. Nothing our post prod gear can't handle. Meeting commences. Major revisions. Re-animate and stuff. TWO DAYS BEFORE THE ONLINE. Yeesh. Spend Thursday night in the office and leave Friday MIDNIGHT. Just because of this.

Then they call Monday or Tuesday with some revisions. This is AFTER the online. Brilliant. I don't want to ramble anymore so...

How come they come to us without a storyboard asking us to copy this peg they gave? Then after the online that's when they start DROPPING STORYBOARD AFTER F*CKING STORYBOARD ON US AND ASKING THAT WORK BE DONE BY THE NEXT F*CKING DAY?!? Jesus Christ this is a first. They come to us without a plan then when the dust has settled they go, "Oh wait, we want THIS to happen." Right.

This whole thing is weird. But that's how the ball rolls. And I do know who "butters my bread" if you know what I mean.

So, hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work I go.

Out.
