I vote for half-assed job.
see, you took the job. so you're in the wrong if you don't do it. ideally, you check to see if the job conflicts with your morals before you accepted it, but once you accept it...

you should do what you agreed to do in the first place. Think about your reputation.

South African diamonds are 'clean' for as far as I know__
but I guess you will never know_
no, wait, it's gold__ they don't dig diamonds in S.A....?
shit now i am not sure___
I believe the ones from Sierra Leone have been found in less human conditions_
on another note:
what if it was an ad for Esso or for Chevrolet or whatever? Or a clothing brand that has his shit produced by the hands of underpaid kids in Indonesia??
I mean__fight for you right.. that's good_
but if you'd ask yourself for each commercial/ad you may be better of doing something else I am afraid_
It's good that you question it tho_
you are one good human!;)

anyone know about the diamond cartel? I havn't heard of anything about that since that pbs special special a few years back.

The main thing here is that Im not getting paid much for this and other peope are getting credit, I feel bad about putting images of underprivilaged africans in the commercial and its late and I simply want to quit this shit and say fuck off!

but can I get sued? There is no written contract. Someone told me I still can for making the company suffer so late in the project.

no written contract? tsk tsk. it's hard to say when there's no written contracts.
- err0
Not anymore!
Just told him about the project got him by the balls and demanded 3times more what we agrred on before. Now to make sure he pays. I need a contract! any one got a contract for video work? 50% on delivery the rest 30days after invoice!

YOU THE MAN!

Ok This is my reasoning. Its only a 2.5 min commercial that will be shown on small DVD players in 15 stores. The only people who will be seeing it are crazy people who want to buy 57kt diamonds.
Nobody said they are conflict diamonds and they probably aren't either. I think those diamonds get hidden somewhere in Belgium off the market to keep the value of diamonds high. Second They probably are doing more harm to thier company by showing these rediculous photos along with the diamonds. So I'll do the damn thing and slip in a few subliminal messages in a couple frames and collectmy money. More than likely it won't get produced once the client sees it. I get paid la dee da.
Now I can start working on that commercial for the NRA.
Here are a few images from the video
Note the footage was not shot by me. The DP also had the same attitute. Shoot it like shit and collect.

the Diamond industry is a sham— but you have to check out the project before you take it... if you half ass your work, it'll always show— but better late with the conscience than never!

Hello Yall I half asssed it
- IloveQBN0
you can still protest in different ways, like doing a half ass job for them, or add hidden messages to the commerial, so you and your friends can laugh when they see it on the telly
