File Management and Protection

back it up. Back it up. I cannot be more forceful about this. I said it earlier. There is nothing more heart wrenching and destructive to your process than losing files, whether it be losing them on set or losing them later. Being a professional means having your work backed up in a sensible order that you can access on or off site and is repeatable over and over and over again. So that five years from now you're looking for an image. You know how to find it. I go into my archive, everything is organized. I knew I shot that in 2015. I knew I shot it for The New York Times. I knew I shot it in November. Click the button. There's the picture, that kind of organization on your files. I have copies in three places, and the cloud stock integration and we're gonna Segway into stock Is that you know, having an organized system of backed up files. There are certain agencies now where you can actually flip your archive right into theirs and its integrated. So if you're your system is organized ...

and you can access it really easily, you can any and your represented by a big agency. You may be able to just dump your files right into theirs, because if there really organized and then all of a sudden you have several 1000 images in stock and it's earning for you, we don't cloud back up until would done with shoot because it has to be edited. Because if you tried to cloud all of your CR two files, it would you basically spend your whole life doing that because it's just too big to transmit like that unless you have some kind of a crazy t one line in your house. But, um, once it's edited, then it will go up on the cloud or in the stock, and the stock essentially is the cloud. So for me, a lot of my work it's up uploaded into my stock account so that it's living there in the cloud. But once we shoot with shooting two cards and tethered and that is going from not into my laptop, but into ah ah, solid state hard drive, I don't I don't use anything that has any more that spins. Everything is solid state and it's much more stable. So I have a solid state CF card in the car. In the in the camera, I'm tethered to a computer, which is backing up on a solid state hard drive. So I'm getting to solid state copies with every shutter poll. And then as soon as the job is over, we back it up one more time on a separate computer and then send them up to the cloud. So we caught were on set with two copies, and then we finish and we finish with. Once we have finished files, we finish with 33 backups.
