We will be rescheduling our final day of principal photography for next Monday, June 11th at the Northside Grill in Ann Arbor, due to a technological glich we experienced today with the Panasonic HD Digital Harddrive.
In short, it froze.
There are many great advantages to shooting in HD, as opposed to film -- it's cheaper, many times faster and more efficient -- EXCEPT for in cases when the software goes haywire.
"Should have had a back-up." Ahhhhhh, yes. Right. The old "be prepared for everything" or "combat conditions" point. Well taken.
But at $1200 for a hard drive and $75 per p-2 card, the back-ups can become huge financial hick-ups as well.
Maybe film "ain't" so expensive afterall!
In any case, another great saying goes, "when you fall off the horse, you get back on."
I like that quote the best.
See you on Monday, June 11th!
