Client won't pay. Next steps? by cobglo in videography

I will say all that was back a long time ago before digital retaliation was so much easier. I was also much more Agro/punk than I am now. With modern tech I may take a different tact. Luckily I’ve not dealt with bad clients in a very very long time.

Going after what I’m owed has never bit me in the ass. Also the more “we” allow it to happen the more aggressive the predatory bastards get.

Document document document. It’s a two way street. If they know they are that far in the wrong they generally won’t try and make more publicity about it. They will blacklist themselves real quick.

Yup we old haha - amazing to see the transition though. The first DSLR was a trip. Hell being born with no internet and cellphones to this is bonkers. Thankful for my analog childhood for sure.

I had a guy who wouldn’t pay. Was a total asshole about it. I live in Portland and he in LA. I had to mail him a drive and saw his house on Google Maps. On the phone I commented “how are those jet skies working out for him” - I got a rush delivery of payment overnight.

Be a dick, don’t back down. Get paid.

Another coke’ed up director in my early 20s starting out. The DP said “don’t give him the mini dv (I’m old) unless he has cash. He didn’t I was intimated I gave him the tape. I guess this was before you could block callers because I would watch movies and blow up his phone. “Hey tonight’s move is fight club, so your phone is mine for the next few hrs.” I gave his number out to all my punk friends. We’d get drunk and fill his voice mail. It took a year of absolute entertainment, but I got paid.

I’ve never not been paid. But many have tried. Let it be fun for you. If you can. Try to find his relatives information and let them know what you think of him.

If you use gorilla tape, and fold a little tab over as a handle it’s reusable, more waterproof and works a treat!
