Pick Two
By S Simmons. Filed in Editing |ALL of us who have editing for money for any significant period of time has used the good old “Cheap, Fast, Good – Pick Two” line. Here it is illustrated in the perfect sign that I would love to hand in my edit suite for all agencies and record labels to see! Anyone know where to get one?ÂÂÂÂ
Thanks to my bro @ The Garage for finding this one.ÂÂÂÂ

I do the same thing with a large triangle, with each of the three words at its own vertex. Then I say to the producer or director or client “I can give you two of the three. Which one do you want to give up?”
I find that asking them to pick the one to give up, rather than the two that they want, puts the entire thing in perspective.
