Bizarre stuff clients say...

Post by ActionArt » 10 Jun 2013, 17:23

Sometimes I just have to read an email twice to believe it...this is from a "graphic artist" that supposedly understands the animation process.

"the shots looks really good. Thanks! Are we able to watch the animation (in full quality) with the new changes before we render today?"

Hmmm...what would be the point of rendering if we could do that? =))

Priceless, you should submit that one to "Clients from Hell". :D

Ya, this client would fit in there nicely, it's not the only hair brained thing they've said :)

I love Clients from Hell, it makes me laugh almost every day. This kind of thing makes some people angry but you just have to hold the clients hand sometimes and explain things without insulting them.

If I may highjack your post there is also Cryptic VFX Comments. It's not updated that often but some of the comments are priceless.

Funny stuff. Reminds me too of how many hundreds of times I've tried to explain the concept of aspect ratio. If you scale an image one way, you have to scale it the other too if you don't want it to look stretched. It's an impossible concept to grasp for some. :D
