Well I had my first pitch meeting today, you know those types of meetings? The one where they throw you in at the deep end and you have to fly by the seat of your pants to win over the client with your vision and ideas.
It went well.
Out of the 6 concepts delivered 5 were picked, which is just as well because we have a shoot tomorrow to pull this off. Nothing like doing it by the seat of your pants.
As a pitch meeting it went very well, it’s nice to be in a room of people that get it, and quite frankly without the super talented designer and social media guru in the room it wouldn’t have went as well as it did. I do work with an amazing team that only want the best for the product and brand. We all know the vision of where to take things and I know that the team in place will make that happen. Everyone is one the same page and just want the right thing.
Now the heavy lifting after the shoot is going to be fun, although I do wish Apple had released that new MacPro in time for this as I know all the compositing and possibly rotoscoping I have to do on my end would be like taking an hot knife and putting it through butter. Not the oh damn scenario I am in now with a laptop. Damn Apple and their teasing of something great that I just cannot have right now!
All the time I spent learning Davinci Resolve will pay off on my end, I do have a specific look I have built for this, so fingers crossed if I get the performance out of my actors tomorrow the rest will be a piece of cake!
