Decisions

You know you've made the right decision to turn down a job directing a commercial when:

1. It's exactly the same people that screwed up last year's attrocity.
   
2. One of the producer's ideas for Harmony Week is a scene involving a burning flag.
   
3. The 1st AD doesn't know what a call sheet is.
   
4. The DoP doesn't think they need a call sheet on a project that uses seven locations and a cast and crew of at least ten.
   
5. None of the actors have done any acting before.
   
6. The script involves a sparking electrical cable.
   
7. Western Power don't want to be involved.
   
8. One of the actors pulls out six hours before principal photography is due to start.
   
9. The grip has pulled out, because he hasn't been paid by the producer for a past production, and hasn't told anyone on the production team.
   
10. The commercial was designed by committee.
