But i hope the client, ad person who OK'd the wrong product got it slapped in there face.<BR/>I've been on shoots and the amount of care, thought, and big $$$ spent to ensure we are showing the correct product is amazing. Some clients market properly some are hacks.

ESPECIALLY when you're talking about PC vs. MAC! A "simple" shot like this could end up costing them millions.Ken Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15319780603739454217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-84093582011955040232008-05-19T10:01:00.000-04:002008-05-19T10:01:00.000-04:00Au contraire, the evidence mounts that companies a...Au contraire, the evidence mounts that companies and the public don't care. A few fanboys on blogs aside, who else will really notice this? They will take the occasional gaffe like this, to save thousands of dollars over hiring a photographer to shoot this same shot.<BR/> You see it as they probably tried to get rights managed, couldn't, so they settled for this. I see it as they probably tried to get what was cheapest and did. If they really wanted rights managed they could have found something, maybe not this exact shot, but something. They, and by they I mean corporations, just don't care, they want to save money, period. The EEE represents tens, maybe hundreds of millions of sales for Asus yet they don't care enough to spend a grand or whatever on a decent photo, they just photoshop their computer in place of a white Mac. Mistake? Or is it the reality of how unimportant an advertising photo is these days? MSI didn't even do that much, they left the mac and added their name to it. Huge mistake or, screw it, no one will notice and it saves us thousands.<BR/><BR/> I also highly doubt this was an accident. Asia is rife with copyright violation, from cell phone knockoffs to BMX X5 lookalike(but not crash alike) cars. The ASUS EEE has been a hot item for months now. It's entirely plausible that MSI chose the same photo on purpose so people will think they're making a clone of the Asus computer, or maybe people think, what was that little subnotebook I saw, had a kid with an orange cap using it, they search for it and find MSI instead of Asus.<BR/> It's easy to hope and dream that everything will turn back to the old ways and people will pay photographers thousands to take simple shots like this. Reality is a lot more grim. People don't care about getting that little extra bit of quality. It simply is not worth it to pay a photographer to custom take every photo. If it was they would still do it that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-85919909312890929852008-05-19T03:14:00.000-04:002008-05-19T03:14:00.000-04:00I wonder how many clients hear about things like t...I wonder how many clients hear about things like this and figure, "screw it, let's hire the guy who will do WFH, it's the easiest and cheapest way to make sure this doesn't happen."Eric Schmiedlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754583876940071038noreply@blogger.com
