Working with a client for a short corporate address. I dont trust them at all- he's already asked for discounts and wanted me to give $1300 of additional service for $350. Honestly, I really dont care if I get the business (my brain says to run)- but despite how curt & off-putting I am, they want me even more.
I've asked for 1/2 up front, the other half BEFORE delivery of multimedia files (no budget to auther BD's).
Here's my question: I obviously need to send a proof to them, I fear they'll just run with the multimedia clip emailed and never send me the remainder (court would eat up too much time). I should note that I've done business with them before ($900 worth vs $3700 this time) and they did pay, but that person is no longer at the small company. My gut tells me this is different. Besides 'ghosting' a PROOF COPY MESSAGE on the screen, is there any way to protect this? Send them a link to the clip on vimeo or youtube? Can an end user download from there? Uploading to vimeo seems like a way to keep my content locked up, while allowing them to proof....but am I missing something?
