Ever get those briefs where it reads "must use stock"? Course you have, and you probably hate it as much as most. Not only do you have to use stock, you have to use X-brand stock that the agency has a "good deal" with - and not simply some really nice stock places that you know about...... Well, that's when stuff like this happens.

PermalinkThese things would happen less often if "must use stock" had "exclusive rights" in the budget and if agencies could stop insisting that "stock" = only Brand X and Y. There are plenty of great stock collections out there beyond Tony Stone and pals - Luckypics and Veer for instance. But every time I want to use them some AE or art buyer craps themselves as they "made a great deal with Stone" or whatever "saving so much money", which is promptly farted away in fuckups like these where they have to buy another image and re-do everything.
Idiots.
