Not satisfied with the collaboration. This was a test project. That is, it was supposed to be paid in any case. The project was supposed to be done using AI, and there were several clear requirements for the project. When I fulfilled them, another additional requirement appeared, which was very subjective (the client said that the car was driving on the shoulder, not on the road, because the edge markings on the road were not visible. But in the video, it is clearly visible that the car is driving completely on the paved part of the road, there are other markings. This complicated the execution and increased the number of generations in Veo 3.1, which is not the cheapest pleasure, especially with a clean budget of $25. I made about 12-15 generations, showed the best ones to the client, but all had some flaws. I said that with this budget I could not continue generating more and that we either needed to close the project with the option I provided earlier (where all requirements were met except for the new one that appeared during the project) or increase the budget. She did not agree. So I asked several times to close the project because it was a test, and it could be considered that I did not succeed. Also a refusal. I had to close the project through arbitration. And the most unpleasant thing is the communication. The client reads the messages and simply ignores them. It is unclear whether she is expecting something or if she did not like it. I sent the last options on Friday. I tried to find out if they were suitable and generally any reaction (on TG and on freelance), but she just read the messages and ignored them. On Monday she said - well, it's a weekend. Yes, it's a weekend, but at least say that you don't have time to express an opinion about a video lasting 8 seconds until Monday! To me, this is condescending and disrespectful. Already during arbitration, when the commission said that the project was test and should be paid and she had to close the project, I made another attempt at generation and everything turned out perfectly, I fulfilled all conditions, and submitted the file. When asked if it suited her - again ignored. So to get my money, I had to beg for it, wait a long time, go through arbitration statistics, and also submit the finished work.

The execution of the order was comfortable: the technical specifications were structured, and the feedback was timely. It is pleasant to work with such a client. Until the next tasks!
