Client: Can you make an animated 3D scene of a street traffic with 5 cars rigs and people walking (+ some more specific animations, including blend shapes), we need it done and rendered in 2 days?

Me: Sure, it will cost you 2500 euros because I’ll need to hire a 4 person team and a render farm to get it done in time :)

Client: OK, never mind…

Many client try to sniff in most what is the cost for you work, it’s hard for them to understand why they buy $10 file and the custom charge start from 90 dollar and up, this market is full with nonprofessional buyer`s so sometime i understand where it’s coming from …

I have one almost as good :)) My boyfriend is a computer programmer (C#, heavy stuff like that). In our building were living only old and very old people, with minimum to no experience with computers. One of the sweet old ladies heard about my boyfriend’s skills and came knocking to our door: “Son, I heard you are a programmer, would you please come and program my TV, I don’t know what’s wrong with it!”. Best part: he went and “programmed” the darn thing – that meaning he set up the TV programs in a certain order :)))

Haha, yeah, happened to me once as well :)
