There was a long lens shot of a comely girl walking in slo-mo soft focus towards the car, which was in focus. So we get a cut of the spot, and one of the Detroit guys says, "You know, I think it'd be better if the girl was coming towards us instead. Let's see what that looks like."

I quickly go back to the bin and confirm what I already knew. I turn to the group, and say, "Did you guys shoot that, the girl walking towards us?" And the Detroit guy says, "No, but don't you have a way of doing that?" And I said, "Do you mean, play it in reverse?" And the Detroit guy said, "No, towards us. Have her walk towards us. I want to see her face." And I said, "But you didn't shoot that." And he said, "No, I know, but you can do that in here, right?"

My client asked me to cut to a close up of the loaf of bread. I told him that I couldn't find a close up in the footage he gave me. "No," he said, "Just push in to it from the wide shot." ".... uh, yeah... I can show that to you."
