We’re getting requests from Maximus for access to Upwork or other platform so he can hire actors/editors to create ten 10-15 sec videos a day for him.
Are you aware of his need for these quantities of daily videos?
@Chris it's ok with me, perhaps you can offer to help him manage this?
Are you able to attend today’s call? >> https://meet.google.com/nxd-wcbf-igg
I just saw you proposed a new time to the meeting! Sorry I missed that email 🤦♂️
Dave and I are good with the time change. We’ll see you tomorrow!
Are you able to join the meeting or would you like us to put another time on the schedule?
@Chris just sent email intro to Baumgaertener
Cameron! Talking to the Yan and Itay over in Israel about a weekly meeting and they are asking if you could do 7:30a rather than 8a on Tuesday’s. They know that’s a lot earlier for you and mentioned they can move another meeting so we can keep it at 8a for you if you can’t do earlier.
Let me know and we’ll get it locked onto everyone’s schedules.
@Chris I cant do 730 as I am getting my kids to school fro 730-8
all good. I’ll let them know we’ll need to keep it 8-8:30a for you
Thanks!
@Chris I’ll be on in a few minutes you guys go ahead and get started without me
I saw Brian B. responded that he’s ready to chat! I’m going to suggest a few times for him to meet with Dorshan and I, do you want to be on that call? If you can make it, I think it would good to have you at least on the initial call.
sure @Chris invite me, but only Thursday is viable this week. Let me know times asap that work for everyone
Can you do tomorrow sometime between 9:30a and 11a or between Noon and 2p? All PST times
Whatever range you can do, I’ll float that by Brian to see if it fits his schedule.
If not, maybe we’ll have to do early next week as then Dorshan will be able to join as well
Brian never confirmed for today so what are some other times you’re available next week?
So, Brian isn’t being too responsive to email… how aggressive should I get with my follow up emails? lol
feel free to be a bit more agressive! lol kindly of course 😉
@Chris friday am is jammed up for me, can do after 1PST. What is the call so I can prepare. Thank you
I can move it to 1PST today.
I wanted to bring you up to speed on where the team is at hours wise since we’ve started the big TikTok push in Nov. last year and discuss compensation for the team before we get into Q2.
I miss understood your last msg lol
I just set the meeting up again for Friday at 1PST.
See you then!
I wanted to circle back on our compensation discussion from the other week.
As I looked back on past “rush” jobs, you were right, there was one rush in each month from Jan to March with another added just the other day for a total of four rushes since the beginning of the year (see below).
That’s a total of 4 bonus payments that are outstanding for 2024 – I’ll let Debbie know about those.
The bonus is great and does offset some of the disparity in wage, especially as everyone’s hours have more than doubled but considering everyone is a contractor and working on various other projects the bonus works more to put the “rush” Shield Legal request in front of any other client/project the team is working on at the moment.
As I look at the proposed compensation and take into account rush bonuses - I propose an increase of $1,000 for each team member, plus at least one guaranteed monthly rush bonus.
Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
--- 2024 RUSH REQUESTS --- January 29th AFFF, Camp L, Hair Salon 10 videos
February 27th SDA, NJ Juv Hall Abuse 24 videos
March 12th Camp L, Tepezza 8 videos
March 28th Texas fires 6 videos
@Chris let's discuss, also Debbie is not with us anymore so please reach out to Brian and Altonese they are both in slack!
Do you have some time this week to continue our discussion above?
@Chris yes let's shoot for Wed
@Chris I cant tomorrow I have a track meet for my daughter after school and willbe out from 1-4
I can do another time convenient for you, though I’m busy 10-11a PST
I’ll be on a flight at that time. How’s Monday the 22nd look on your end?
Shoot me a time that works for you, I’m pretty open that day
Great @Chris can you send invite?
hey @Chris yes I am sorry been a hectic morning can we talk in 20 at 1130PST?
Cameron!
The other week we discussed speeding up delivery via AI solutions and I wanted to share a company with you that we might want to test out.
They are arcads.ai — they got a lot of press from this ad that was posted a few months back when I first checked them out. here is a little how to run down of the service too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkUlICeGaVY
They have a starter package 100 euros/month for 10 videos/month — billed monthly it looks like — Can I sign up and give it a test to see if the service is worth it?
@Chris are you able to join a quick call with me Ryan and Nick McFadden really quick? we are on now
let me know and I will send you a link
Sorry! I’m not able to join this one. I’m just walking in from mowing the lawn and racing to get ready for an appointment in 20 min.
ok @Chris call me on cell later please. I need to talk with you asap. Need you to go to London for big meeting with tik tok. Call me for details but this is super important
@Chris can you give me a call on my cell this am please?
Are the TikTok dates the only dates on the table?
I’m having some schedule conflict/overlap with my wife coming back into the country on those exact dates and not having child care for my three other kids during that overlap
let me check @Chris was very hard to get everyone at the same table
Hey Cameron. Just checking in. I’m assuming the London date can’t switch. But in the event that it’s still being discussed. I’ll be back in Florida on July 29th and have no plans to travel for the month of Aug.
Ok @Chris I am waiting on a response from Them
I saw you rescheduled the London meeting for tomorrow - That about the only time that doens’t work for me tomorrow I have a previous commitment from 10a - noon PST time - but any other time would work that day
the 31st would work too just not between 11a and 12:30p PST
I’ll move it around @Chris ty
We just had Caleb request new SOM videos with a Monday deliver. Is this considered a rush since it will require editing over the weekend to meet the deadline?
reminder always "tag" me becuase I wont get the alert unless you do!
My lark meeting link isn’t working. says it’s an invalid meeting id.
is there another link/meeting id you could pass me?
hey @Chris we pushed the meeting out I had a family matter that required urgent attention
Cameron!
Question for you, when Yan is requesting content from us the video team, when is it deemed a rush job for us? We’ve received a few requests that are “quick” (need in 48 hours for example) and I just want to make sure we’re all on the same page.
Ok, so I’ll have the 2 day turn be the line.
Also, I recently moved to UT so I’m a hop skip and a jump from vegas now! haha
Thanks for the Christmas bonus Cameron!
I hope you and the family are having an amazing holiday season!
I think the details from the last credit card you gave me a while back are now expired.
Can you send me your CC details again?
Thanks!
here you go... 4197-4600-9733-1186 Exp 06/28 code 731 Cameron Rentch 5170 Badura Ave Las Vegas NV 89118
With the impending possible TikTok ban, would we just shift gears back to creating a majority of content for Meta until TikTok is back online?
The team and I are curious. Thanks!

Question for you, the vendor we use for our AI videos, asked if they could put the Shield Legal logo on thier website in the “partners” area.
My gut says this is NOT something you’d want to do but I figured I would still ask. lol
@Chris let me think about it, what vendor is it?
let's chat about it next week monday or tuesday
