I have a presentation today at work for the latest commercial we did. It should be an easy going, kinda done deal stuff, but these guys...they always surprise me. Sometimes they find the most incredible stuff to complain like "WAIT WHY DO WE HAVE A GRANPA IN THE COMMERCIAL" when they ask for it, approved it and went to the fucking shooting.

In my case it's usually a dozen people commenting, many who haven't been in all the meetings, and yet they feel they have to contribute, so they say stupid shit.

yeah, thats a classic. A few years ago it happened during a shooting. 3 am and there were like 8 people in a fucking zoom talking about a soccer ball's color. One of them, who never appeared before, said he would like a red one, were in pre production they asked for a blue one.
I said i dont have one. He was visibly bummed out.

Creation-by-committee is awful, and a big part of why I got out of the record biz...
One time I was working a session for these two songwriters who were writing stuff for Katy Perry. Session started at 730pm, usual time. We worked through the night, and I got to watch them craft what felt like a hit into the wee hours. By 6am, they were both a little buzzed off booze and weed, we were all dog tired, yet the energy in the room was electric -- the song just got better and better every time we pressed play on the rough mix.
Sure of their success, one of the songwriters sent the track off to Katy's A&R guy. We start packing up, when all of a sudden the girl's phone dings. "A&R guy doesn't like it, says it sounds too much like another song they've already landed on." Session was over and we all went home totally deflated.

Having worked inside Marketing departments for years, I can say that often times the last minute changes come from the C-Suite, but yeah, good luck w/ the review today.
Some radio spots I helped write will start running today.
Are they for Squatty Potty?
No, but I'd love to have the honor, and, it would be good content for the poop thread.
they could use the valuable input from our demographic
maybe they should sponsor a PJ tour

i will pencil in an exclusion from my 'everyone in the entertainment industry should be euthanized' policy for each of you given that you support the capitalist propaganda machine but in your hearts you wish to be focusing solely on your art, music, and the poop thread
