No Workout Will Change What’s Been Recorded

I work as a film editor. My client owns an event planning company that mainly deals with parties and concerts.

Client: “This is good. I just can’t believe you let this guy’s a** occupy so much of the frame at 02:22!”

Me: “Excuse me?”

Client: “That guy’s a**! It’s all people will look at!”

Me: “Would you like me to replace the shot?”

Client: “No… I like it. But can you make it smaller?”

Me: “Make what smaller?”

Client: “That guy’s a**!”

Me: “I can cut the clip’s duration a little shorter and add in another clip. Though I would really suggest just replacing it.”

Client: “No, never mind. I’ll call him about his a** and we’ll see what we can work out.”
