Storage…

Much the same as the clutter you collect as you get older, I seem to of collated tonnes of hard drives of stuff. My concern with the shift to HD is that this takes up so much more space than SD, and I’m going to need more storage. Granted, the cost of hard drives has fallen dramatically but there is still a cost attached, especially when most people recommend you buy TWO drives, and clone them and store them separately. This is largely as insurance, but especially more poignant with the P2 workflow when we consider that the masters will get erased also after cloning, as opposed to remaining on a DV tape. This is a particularly daunting prospect.
