When you try to butt in to a conversation to say that we can't possibly do that idea on the budget...but then give up


When the DIT asks if you want the transcodes in DNX 36 or at a higher bit rate.

When you think you've done a mistake with transmission

When the crew asks if it's ok to charge for overtime

When you get an email about an ASA complaint.

When Josh rocks up and does a guide VO and a broadcast quality edit on his first day.

When all three edit suites are in use and clients are in and there are more re-edits to be done and quotes to draw up and there's a shoot tomorrow and we get a new business call and Goodfellas are out of curly fries

The moment you tell the crew that the shoot is going to run late

When we ask the extras to come to the shoot ready and in wardrobe
When the actor's agent has sent over outdated wardrobe measurements

When you're in an Addison Lee after a 15 hour day and you have a really chatty driver



When one of the crew asks the Production Assistant how many shots we have left

When the crew tell the producer that they're going to charge for overtime

When we have to wait for DIT after a shoot

When Lucy has to go to a meeting...up North

When a model shows up to a casting and she looks NOTHING like her spotlight profile pic
