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.
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!
