For some reason, in Hollywood, there are these people who will never tell you no...
...then proceed to fuck up the "favor." They are defensive dumbasses that aggravate you. The only solution is to not ask them for anything. Ever. But...if your back is against the wall...
Here's how the conversation goes...
"Hey, I got these two rolls of film (or data files whatever is the new thing). Can you put them in chronological order when you put into timeline"
"Sure"
You leave and come back
"So how'd it go?"
"Fine."
Looking at roll...
"Uh, it's not cut together chronologically."
"Yeah."
"It makes life easier if it goes A1 then A2"
"Well, that's how they're cut together."
"Yeah, you put A2 before A1, that doesn't make sense. In a linear timeline."
"Oh, okay."
Okay what, dumb motherfucker! Yes, I asked for a favor. The fact that you fucked it up and treated this project (which I get is a freebie) like a goddamn adopted child...says a lot about your professionalism.
Trust me, you will run into many of these people. Do your best not to strangle them.
