We signed a new client to make a video for their product. Our creative team kept the client informed along the way with scripts, storyboards, etc.

Client: Looks great!

On the day before the shoot at 4pm, we get a different sentiment.

Client: This doesn’t work at all.

Me: What’s the issue?

Client: I need it to be sexy.

Me: How so?

Client: Just sexy. You know.  

We cancelled the shoot, billed him for the cancellation, and re-scheduled for three weeks later.
