When I freelanced I’d usually walk away from this sort of job. If they went ahead there was always a general feeling of a lack of trust and additional pressure that I had to prove myself. Not a good starting point for a creative relationship.

You've got just say no, these folk are thick and you have to stick to your guns on what they have paid for, a DOP I know sticks to what the client has agreed on as these agencies will have you on calls to pad out there time!

Got a project I'm verging on signing which every bone in my body is telling me to swerve. Client is a small agency, end client is big business (400 million), project is relatively small - 12k or so. I've shown references, written treatments, explained tech, worked in this field, end client still apparently unsure 4 video calls in. Agency guy wants another call today - from behind the departure gate at an airport. Just go on holiday FFS! Feel if anything the agency wobbling is causing end client uncertainty.
