You're spot on about the framing - some people just can't get behind the concept of parody. Oh they like the jokes and all but when you tell them it needs to be shot according to strict corporate / training video style they get a little despondent and rebellious on you.
I only had two days to shoot the piece (they were the only days I could clear the locations) so I thought it best not to fight with the DP and keep the project moving.
We all make sacrifices I guess but I won't be using that DP again.
Oh and if you're ADD is acting up try this one. It's less than a minute
