Aaron Rosapepe March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 I would love to get some insight as to how you all kick off the first grading session. I'm courting more freelance projects and am finding it's tough to get the ball rolling with some people as they really don't know what they want. I don't want to waste time exploring the wrong path as most of these projects are low/no pay to build up my reel. How do you deal with new clients? Do you ask for reference? Do you offer to grade a couple of stills to get the ball rolling? What have you found to be the most effective way to hone in on what your client really wants?

Emily Haine March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 Whenever I can, I create some looks prior to the session as my experience is that most directors want to see alternatives, even if they have references and strong opinions about where they want. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your experience, what do most clients expect to see in terms of different looks prior to committing to one aesthetic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Haine March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 First of all they want to see how it looks straight out of the cam, and it's always good to do some creative work just to have something to discuss from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
