Seagull Art Director

The term was coined at ad agencies to describe an art director that avoids involvement in a projects until it becomes a perceived problem at the production phase. Usually a result of forgetting the project was in the works. The art director will make a scene with their production team, order revisions (usually very minor taste fairy changes) and vanish as quickly as they appeared.

This type of art director is sometimes called a "seagull" for short.

Production person 1: "Was that the art director} making all that noise?"
Production person 2: "Yeah, he was being a seagull art director. He swooped in, made a bunch of noise, shit all over everything and flew away."
Production person 1: "Are you going to do what he wants?"
Production person 2: "Nope."

Director Syndrome

Film directors/creators hate or not satisfied with their final products after hundreds of hours of production, while everyone else loves it. In truth, they are more sick of it than anything else.

This is also evident in other art forms.

Carry is having Director Syndrome over that painting, even though everyone loves it and the school papers call it a masterpiece.
