We make shooting and site protocols to make sure we get back with the film and audio we need. We break the protocols when we are in a hurry or when time shows they don't seem to be necessary. Today, I didn't bother turning on the dtr
to back up the live presentation I was videotaping. We've never needed it. for an in-house shoot with that camera Half way through the shoot, the card glitched and the audio and video were lost. The second card worked fine. Sure, I can fit pieces together, do a phone interview, go and record something from the presenter. The point though is that I was sloppy. I could have had it done and up for view two hours ago. Now it's a headache for tomorrow, and the video is not available. No excuse for it. None.Follow the protocols. Always!
