Oh My Fucking Me
time: 1:02am
setting: the office sour
character: a tired and cranky bald young chap with bloodshot eyes and greying hair
I'm still at work, because our American Budweiser clients require my *amazing* services. The boys in the studio continue revising a stupid beer commercial where some guy gets his balls bitten by a dog, and then I restripe the final audio back to digital picture and upload it to our website so the clients in the U.S. can look at it and call to say: "hmm... maybe if the sfx on the last announcer read were 15-20% lower?"
So then the boys in the studio revise the audio, send it to me, I restripe the picture, again, and upload it, again, to the website. Then the clients call, the boys revise, and I start again.
This has been going on all fucking night. It's after 1:00am and I work in the morning, I just want to go home.
They talk about these campaigns like they're going to affect people, change the world of beer. Pffffffft.
Did any of these advertising slaves ever consider that maybe people out there in TV-land go to the fridge or the bathroom during commercials, and don't really give a fuck? Or if they sit on their butts, would they even notice if the SFX are 20% higher or lower than the Announcer?
Oh my me... I need to sleep. Overtime isn't worth this monotony.
