Have you ever noticed how rental cars usually handle better than your daily driver? Often times it is a direct result of being newer and less cluttered with personal effects. Computers are no different. Nobody likes it when their shoot to laptop is sluggish and running out of room. Brian keeps a rigorous maintenance schedule for his capture computers which allows them to be extremely stable shooting platforms.
Remember when you were a toddler and you wouldn’t go anywhere without your favorite blanket? There’s nothing like the feeling of security. Brian’s systems have been built to ensure that data protection is first priority. Every image is backed up on at least 2 additional drives during a shoot, but why stop there. He also archives up to 5 copies of a file that has been deleted, renamed or moved when space allows. All files will be archived for at least 60 days after delivery.
