In with the new (deleting older footage)

Yo,

You might have noticed my post in "unicycling dream team" if not i'll
repeat it more nicely, lol. Does anyone on here, after releasing their
movie, delete the footage it contains? I can't stand to hang on old
footage. If the footage is gone, it forces me to do better. We can't
hang on to the aged stuff anymore. If this sport is going to progress
quickly, there has to be riders out there that better themselves every
single time, and don't just hang on just one trick. Just curious if
anyone else is with me on this. Or is it one of those "just relax man,
take a chill pill" type of replies? You remember -Serious riders- don't
you? You all know how that turned out .

-Shaun Johanneson

Big HDs are great, but remember to keep backups! A friend of mine is
currently dealing with this problem. He takes pictures of his (roofing)
work, and has been saving them all on the old hard drive from his
original computer (1993 or so). He has the HD in an external box now,
but apparently it never occurred to him that it might croak someday.
Well, it has. Now he's looking into the expense of having his data
retrieved by a specialist company; how much it's going to cost him.

I advise keeping a backup of the projects you like. If you don't expect
to ever use the footage again you can probably delete all the original
stuff. However if you ever want to go back and do a retrospective, or
comparisons of before and after, you might want to keep some.

I'd archive it somewhere, if nothing else to come back in a couple years
and think to yourself, "Remember when we thought that was cool?"

Oh, and when you get really rich and famous you can use it in the Early
Days Documentary film...

I'm glad my parents never "deleted" this:

It would be like throwing away family photos, effectively "erasing"
part of your history. Hang on to it!

I think what Shaun is getting at is when you make an edited video and
show it to the world, then you can get rid of the individual footage
you took to make the video. Basically, you should never use that
footage again in a future edited video because it was already used.
The footage you used is pretty much dead, so there's no use for it
anymore.

You can still look at the footage by watching the edited video you
made. Also, Terry's old footage is really cool due to its age, and it
was also never really edited when it was made, so there's no reason to
delete it.

I always delete the whole project after I am done with a movie because
they take up so much space. I dont tape over the actal tapes that I
have. I still have a lot of footage from a very long time ago, its cool
to look at and see how much I have progressed and stuff.

I don't delete stuff after I've used it. But I go back and watch an old
video, and can't stand to watch it. I don't think it's good anymore.
Which makes me eager to do another.

i'm really bad i never delete stuff. Everything that i like i keep on a
raid 1 in our server that is backed up with a scsi DAT tape.

i've had lost data, and everytime it was a bad experience. You always
look back and think, damn i really wanted to see that.

Now everytime i run out of space i buy a new HDD. ITs expensive but its
so nice. I mena i guess it all depends how much video you do. I mean
maybe you should sort stuff out and decide what you'd liek to keep or
not.

It's not even really expensive any more. Yesterday I saw an ad for a
500GB external HD, $129 after rebates! That was at Frys. I'm shopping
for another external drive. Don't buy the older Buffalo TeraStations.
I'm having to pay a little more because I want Firewire 800, but
they're still pretty cheap!
