Well, at least I'm going in the right direction!

It comes down, really, to the nature of the requests. Notice that the customer here did not attempt to actually choreograph the piece. That's where trouble often arises, since so few people seem able to fully visualize an image in their minds, and will often ask for elements that require multiple camera angles. Here, a short list of things to be included -- like an emphasis on Captain America, the number 40 and a cat -- presented no difficulty.
