| 00:00 - 00:03 | We have just received another reply back from a potential customer. |
| 00:04 - 00:07 | They have found another photographer who will do the job a lot cheaper. |
| 00:08 - 00:11 | We have also been looking online and see that the number of photographers in our area.... |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | is increasing in greater numbers than we've ever seen before. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Someone tell me how many shoots I have done this month? Five, Six or Seven? |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | None. |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Remember if you don't do at least one shoot this month... |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | you will be locked out of sales force. |
| 00:53 - 01:00 | I need a signed contract immediately, Before christmas, tomorrow, now. |
| 01:13 - 01:17 | I look like an idiot. You make me look like an idiot. |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | I will have to contact my RC and ask to stay in the programme. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | I have been in this programme since it started. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Does all my hard work count for nothing? |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | I have been a pro photographer for years. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Too many jobs lost to people who are doing shoots for next to nothing. |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Look into the sales force leads. Surely we can book a hotel shoot. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | You are not allowed to shoot hotels yet. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | What do you mean I can't shoot hotels yet? Why the hell not? |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Your rating is not good enough. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | My rating in not good enough? You have got to be kidding me. What the..? |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | I have spent thousands on getting pro gear. |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | I shoot with manual settings. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | I shoot RAW. I do all my own HDR and all my own stitching. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | All this extra work is because I take pride in quality. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | It can't be just me that finds this so frustrating. I want to know how the others are doing? |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | QC. QC make it all so difficult. Are they being paid to make these decisions? Why? |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | It's a goddamn lottery every time I hit publish. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | It can take days to hear back. Then when I do hear back I get some mundane reason that the photoshoot has failed. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I make the changes and then.... |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | QC want it back to how it was in the first place. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | The new moderator doesn't even work. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Ive tried using 3rd party plugins. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | We are not even charging for all this time we spend replying back to QC about their f*** ups. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | The excuses I tell clients about why it is taking so long to have photos published. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | If it is not one thing it is another.... |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Just about every part of the system has flaws. I can't stand it. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | You would think just uploading photos would be easy but no! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry our internet speed fine. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | It is hard to tell which is worse.... |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | being undercut or having my rating destroyed by QC for no justified reason. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | And next time an agency calls... |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | tell them their rates are ridiculous. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | I must say though, if it wasn't for all these difficulties I would never have met such awesome people... |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | on the Facebook support group. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | What a way to kill talent. |
