if it's a situation you cannot work in, leave.
So I'm working on a doc.

- Start date
And be graceful about it.
Evan Im not saying this is your case. But I have seen a few people on a few occasions be told in a direct manner by the producer exactly what they want and take some offence to their artistic ability. I think its very easy to do as an artist, after all thats what youre being paid for. But I look at it another way as well. To create that vision accurately is a challenge. To turn something out in a way thats not the way I may usually work, is not so comfortable, and when its not comfortable I usually end up turning out my best work.
Back to point. If a producer Im working with, caveat - assuming they are not a complete schmuck, is pushing for something from me that I dont fully understand the line of thinking on, I try to look at the experience externally and gleen as much as I can from their vision. Go with it and grow with it so to speak.
