Producers, how do you handle malfunctioning FX, location problems-demos that won’t work as planned. Car shoot snafu’s, talent problems etc. What are your best problem solving episodes?

Halfway through an international VR shoot my camera crew realized the camera specs were set incorrectly. We lost everything we’d shot through the day, a solid 5 hours worth. We huddled together, made a plan, and ended up getting everything we needed while making our day. It’s amazing what a hard deadline can do to motivate a crew that fucked up...

We once had to build a mountain on a Range Rover shoot because location scouting was so bad. If we used the scouted location the stunt driver would have had to drive off a cliff!
We searched around and made a mountain at a rock quarry where the driver could stop at the precipice and then drive down a super steep mountain

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Hi all, negotiating with HR on salary for a new AS position and want to know what’s fair. I was an AE for two years, took a promotion at another agency for SAE for only 8 months and am now being recruited for AS at 80k. All of my agencies have been large, I’ve worked on pharma and a large global account, I also started “managing” at the AE level due to my team’s structure. Is $80k fair? Thanks!

My wife and I are considering relocating to a new city. I’ve been working with a recruiter who (I thought) gave me a good lay of the land. Which firms to meet with re lateral opportunities, which to avoid, etc. I’ve since spoken with a friend who has connections at other firms that could be a better fit. Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?
