Corrupt SD cards

Posted on May 7th, 2012 Written on eduzer's blog

Tapeless video is great and has many benefits, until some sort of error causes the card to become corrupt and you can't access your footage/photos. There are a number of things that can go wrong with your media storage, and I found one of them while traveling in China last fall.

Troubles and Triumphs

Posted on April 26th, 2012 Written on wdouglas12's blog

Frustrating times continue. Just wrote a blog and then submitted it but it was deleted and I have to restart. Anyways I have had challenges uploading my coursework and now my blog onto the website. Also I got a phone call from the Frist Center about a film workshop I wanted to attend this weekend. The workshop was cancelled! But nevertheless I will persevere. My blog will post, my video after the fourth try uploaded and hopefully a new workshop in film will open up at the Frist Center.
