My role in some presentation projects reminds me of the character "The Wolf" in Pulp Fiction. The clock is ticking, (many) people are running around, but the presentation is not progressing towards a final end product...
You can call in The Wolf if you really have to, but these situations are best avoided. And, the talents of a professional presentation designer are most useful in stress-free situations. Energy spent on cranking out the deck comes at the expense of creativity.
I hope Miramax does not mind me borrowing these videos and images, it might just remind people to buy a copy of this classic movie to watch it again this weekend (Affiliate link to Amazon).
