Throughout the course of this year, my group and I have encountered several problems. Our trailer at the beginning of the year was somehow deleted, so we had to redo our trailer. Towards the end of the year, when we exported our almost completed film to present at Urban Arts, the computer couldn't read our film when we imported it back. The film could not render and we lost some attached files. So we continued working, adding on to the file that couldn't render, and in the end we had to start over, using an original copy of our film that could render.
I think going through those experiences was a nightmare, but I think it caused us as a group to get closer. We had to work together to fix the problem. With the computer breaking down on us we were able to get more advice and input on how to make our film better.
Advice I have for filmmakers is just to always save and render every chance you get. Always be careful with what your exporting and importing. Dont have several files of your film saved, maybe just the original and latest one you've worked on. Lets say you do have a lot of files saved, if something were to happen to you that happened to us, with your computer breaking down on you, it would be hard to find a file that works. Just always be careful you can never be to careful. Always render, always save.
