Estimating a job.

It is a complicated aspect of producing. You need to cover all the bases but you don't want the client to feel like they are being nickel-and-dimed to death, either. And production is almost always a nickel-and-dime kind of situation with all the little details that go into it, generally speaking. It's a tricky line to balance on, I suppose. This is probably why I am more attracted to the nut-and-bolts part of production more than the producing part of production. Certainly, the artistry of shooting is naturally closer to my personal inclinations, but I suppose producing can have its good moments from time to time as well.
