You ask for projects and I gave it to you. Even when you were not FAA licensed at the time, I
gave you an opportunity with a golf event to help build your drone portfolio. You did a 'debate video',
got paid and failed to give me the raw files. Thinking that you were trustworthy I will get it when I get it
and never did. You held the files in case I decided to get another editor. That's what I call keeping my content
and files hostage.
You asked for a drone gig even though you were not licensed I trusted you and gave you another golf event that
featured the who's who of a major city. You committed and planned on doing it but the week of the event, all of a
sudden your equipment did not work. You had plenty of time to plan and prepare but left me with no choice
and accept your backup freelancer.
I told you a budget and my requirements. She came back with a new invoice and an increase in budget!
Not only did your freelancer charge me more but she did not film the content I wanted. Knowing that I would
pay you after the video was completed (which is how we work previously), I needed the input from my client.
I tried to do the best I can with the limited content that your freelancer provided so after some time, I paid you a
portion of the invoice and would pay in installments, which I did. I still was not able to make the customer happy
with the product due to the missing content that they orginally wanted. The project was not done, the content was
not delivered, the customer needed to provide feedback based on what we had and you went off book and decided to get
emotionally charged. You cursed at me, you threatened to file a complaint BUT you did not take any responsibility that neither
YOU or your freelancer provided the service and content that we initially discussed. Jack Wilson, you need to take responsibility
for NOT delivering what we initially discussed.
As far as our history, you have used me to help you build a diverse portfolio. From utilizing a Class A building to do your photoshoot and video time-lapse,
to having the opportunity to hold responsibilities as editor/director to a docu-drama type show, to introducing you to my network, feeding you on so many occassions because you had a tight budget, driving you for our meetingss because for whatever reason you can't get a license (at that time). You knew quite well what I have done for you and I know (well at least I thought I did) who you were with your past.
My biggest mistake is to put my trust into a student from Essex County College who have NO business conducting any business without a contract.
The moment you get called out from dropping the ball and not delivering, you get emotional and decide to take it out and file a 'complaint'?!
Btw, I was told that your freelancer refunded you the money but you decided to keep the money I sent you. Who's scamming who?!
Beware of Jack Wilson, an opportunist and rip-off artist. Make sure he is put on a contract to keep him honest.
