CLIENT: “Can you make it so when people land on our website, it’s, like, all black with stars coming out of the screen all whoosh whoosh (does the action) like in that screensaver?”
ME: “…”
CLIENT: “With the music from Star Wars.”
ME: “…”
CLIENT: “And it does that for, like, a minute, then stops and they have to click on one of the stars.”
ME: “Any star?”
CLIENT: “No. No. A specific star that they’ll have to find—make it different every time.”
ME: “…”
CLIENT: “Then when they find the right star, there’s like a massive explosion that the site spins out of (does the action), like in the old Batman series”
ME: “For your company site?”
CLIENT: “Yeah”
ME: “The company that cleans up addicts’ used needles from parks and playgrounds?”
CLIENT: “Yeah”
ME: “No”
CLIENT: “…well, you’re not much fun.”
