Client hired me to do post production sound. Gave me
unreasonable deadlines with poor production material. Ex: quoted 2 weeks
for an episode that needed some major audio cleaning; was given 3 days
to complete. Not even enough time to work out the kinks.
Intitially when discussing work with client I stated point
blank I would work on the first episode on a flat rate and after that I
would charge accordingly for the amount of time it would take me to work
on each project. Client never payed his bill and I never got paid.
Many collegues of mine, including the one that introduced
me to them warned me of their shady tactics. I was warned and didnt
listen. Lesson learned. Now I want to make sure no one else gets
screwed.
Thanks for your time.
