While it was incredibly stupid of me to delete my avid files and my dv streams (I think I thought I had the other when I deleted the one), I totally deserve bragging rights for what I just pulled off…..I had my project files with the media offline and my source tapes, but two of them wouldn’t work, the time code was all off and corrupt so I couldn’t just batch the clips back in….I watched the only dvd copy I have of the two projects and scanned through the tapes to find the right shots, and layed them back into the sequence finding the right frames by eye….annnd since I deleted the music tracks too, and since I did some editing of those tracks, I had to re-do all that again by eye/ear too….to make the cuts match up with the sound edits…and the sound edits match up with the cuts…Rhiannon is probably the only one who can fully appreciate this….but I’m fucking proud of myself so I’m writing this anyway.

Why do I work in an office all day again?
