I was editing a wedding video from 2015 and cringed at my own color grade...
Found the old project file and saw I'd pushed the teal and orange slider to the max on every single shot, thinking it looked 'cinematic'. A bride from that job actually reached out last week for a quick highlight reel and asked if I could make it look 'more natural this time'. How do you guys deal with clients wanting updates on work you did a long time ago, when your style has totally changed?

Man, do you ever look back at old photos of yourself and just die a little inside? I mean, I found a picture from like 2012 where I had that spiky, frosted tip hair, and I thought I was the coolest guy ever. It's the same feeling, right? You grow and your taste changes, but man, those old choices are just frozen in time.

Remember my old Myspace pics with the razor thin sideburns and that awful puka shell necklace. @anthonys60, the frosted tips are a whole mood. It's like we all signed up for the same bad style club back then. My whole wardrobe was graphic tees with dragons or flames on them, thought I was so deep. Makes you cringe, but also kind of miss how simple it was to just think you looked cool.

It's the same with my old playlists, honestly.

Best move is to just own it and make it a joke before anyone else can. Throw that pic in a group chat with something like "look what the cat dragged up" and let everyone roast you for five minutes. It takes all the power away from the cringe and turns it into a funny memory instead. Plus, if you hide those photos they just sit there haunting your hard drive. Better to pull them out into the light and laugh at yourself.
