Do you sit on your rendering after it's done?

[heni30]

I was reading about this airbrush commercial artist who does amazing work and he was saying that as he got faster (same high quality - maybe even better) it began to upset his clients.

 

They thought:

 

a.) that since he was doing them so fast he must not be spending enough time on them so he must be cutting corners.

 

b.) since he was doing them so fast they must be easy to do so they felt they were getting over-charged.

 

He started waiting a couple of days after finishing them before delivering them and things went better.

 

Do you ever find yourself in this situation?

yes, especially when its making simple changes (often after umteen changes), often done to discourage clients from making more unnessesary changes and tweaks. Other times it helps to up an image aside so you can look at it with fresh eyes later.

It's also the "queue out side the club" theory. Do you go to a club with no queue, or a club with a queue?

I found when I sit on something in the name of "I don't want you to think this is that fast", I am almost always sweating the deadline in the end. Conversely, I am always sweating the deadline when I don't do that as well.

It isn't easy and it isn't straight forward.

Depending on how busy i am at the time i quote the client the specific deadline. I then give the client the render/renders in 75% of the time and then the changes he requests i give on the day of the deadline. I found this to work best for me as they don't think i am "cutting corners" also if I give it earlier they generally ask me for more changes. I am only going from my experience and this works for me Justin hunts response is also good.
