Just had a big project killed after over a year of continuously selling it in to various stakeholders. Fully produced. Cheer me up

You got paid for all that time. Got to go on production. Got to smoke weed with Snoop Dogg. And you can put it in your book anyway. Plus…yeah that sucks.

Why did it get killed cd?

Can you still put it in your book but under password protection?

It will eventually see the light of day because some freelance color corrector in an Eastern European nation will put it on their personal website, and be untouchable because they were contracted to someone who was contracted to someone who was contracted to someone else, and because they’re in a far flung international place the legal team won’t be able to find them, much less order them to take it down. Then you can just show people their link and claim credit that way.

It sucks. Nobody but you will onow how much energy you had put to sell this and make it see the light of day. For me personally going on production and see my vision made the best way possible is what motivates me. I’m really selfish about this sometimes that I do stuff for my own enjoyment. I don’t care if the world sees it. I just want to make shit as I enjoy the process.
So maybe you can look at it like that so it gives you a little strength to start over.

But it sucks anyways. It’s rare but always happens.

Put it in your book, password protected.

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?
