The initial brief was light, and after clarification, I delivered the video exactly as requested, following the agreed approach and scope. I cut the footage to music, enhanced pacing, and created a polished video as agreed.

After delivery, the client rejected the invoice and refused to pay unless I completed additional, out-of-scope work, effectively holding me to ransom. They later agreed to pay but told me I would receive a 1-star review unless I created a completely different video for a higher rating.

Claims that I “refused to provide a revision” and that I “only care about delivering whatever I think is good enough” are false, I offered adjustment, but what started as a edit to music turned in to a "star wars trailer" .

I delivered the work exactly as requested and communicated clearly about the scope from the start.

I strongly recommend caution when working with this client, as expectations and scope may change after work is delivered, and payment may be withheld to pressure additional work or influence ratings.
