Some people share photos that seem to back up their claims. Day of the shoot we get the call. “He can’t play basketball.. he can’t jump... he can’t even dribble.” He lied!!!!

Working with a very demanding photographer, we had booked a female model for a commercial shoot. On our first shoot day, the model shows up with a completely different hair cut and color as in her casting. The producer's hair happened to be the color & texture the client was going for, so the hairstylist had to cut her long hair SHORT so we could photograph it and do a composite.

She may not have been the body double, but that day, the producer definitely saved the day, in an unexpected way. She produces her own stunts ;)

I was working on an ad job with a well-known agency. The hero shot needed a handbag, so I brought the usual 50 options for 1 hero shot. The creative director didn’t like the options I had, so I sent my assistant to get more. While we were waiting, the creative director told me that I reminded him of his friend. A girl. And he called her The Butt. Then, he started calling ME The Butt. My assistant returned with more options, but the creative director didn’t like those, either, so I sent my assistant out for even more handbags. While we waited for the handbag options to return, the creative director continued to call me The Butt and started making even more lewd comments. Everyone could see he was being crazy with his handbag request, but his lewd behavior seemed to be reserved for just me.

Normally, I wouldn’t talk to a producer about a picky CD, But he went too far with his lewd behavior. I told my producer. She got the shoot moving, and we ended up shooting one of the handbags from my original options. A couple weeks later, my producer told me the creative director had been fired. I don’t know if my producer had anything to do with it, but she certainly felt like my hero that day.
