you shouldn't ever be content with verbal explanations. if possible, a drawing would've served you better.
remember, a picture is worth a thousand words.
i gave him the event layout, and a sketch of what I wanted.
kasi medyo irresponsible yun na klase na tao. he was into it for being "part of the prod" thing. he kept saying and telling me "yes it has been taken cared of" and i realized too late he really didnt actually do anything and made appointments with sponsors, but instead just made phonecalls lang pala and nothing concrete to being with.
to my horror after the gig, most of the sponsorships pala were'nt even receivables in the first place.... most of the sponsors i put on the poster that he assured me were receivables
did not even sign the contracts and MOA's in the first place! you could imagine the explaining i had to do, plus the amount of money i had to cover up because i was "assured" that X amount of money was arriving soon from sponsors, according to him.
i think it was because i was too busy handling too many things, i took his assuring words hook line and sinker.
it got me into a lot of trouble, but i managed to pull through and save my butt.
ive been putting up productions once in a while since 1997 but it was the only time disaster hit.
anyway tama, we should choose wise production mates.
