I continue to teach and to work on video projects for clients, and now I have my own video editing system. At times, production slows down. Not much happens during down times, and it can be rather boring. It also can be quite stressful because the money only comes after a project is completed. That doesn't always happen, however, and I must take projects when they come.
Clients can sometimes be very stressful to deal with.
This forces me sometimes to underbid on a project or take a project that I normally would not accept. Clients also have trouble communicating what they want. Then I have to fix my work to fit their rather basic and unexorbitant vision. By the time a long project is done, I'm usually quite sick of it. I can virtually recite the narrative from beginning to end, and I just don't want to sit through it anymore.
