Hello everyone,
I hesitated alot posting this, but I'd rather keep you informed and be called a bullshitter than not say anything.
I know your patience is wearing thin here, and I would not willingly test it by pulling this off if it wasn't out of my control. I'm actually putting a lot of pressure on myself to better my service to you all, and this fucking happens...
I'll keep it short.
I travel with my external SSD where all my files and videos are stored. Since I work on a laptop when away, it's normal and necessary.
Returning home last Saturday I saw my next three videos were corrupted, as well as most of my past ones. All mp4 files and dcproj files.
I mean chunks of the videos missing, sounds still playing but images gone in large random chunks leaving a black screen; so I had decided to simply reopen the master dcproj files to re render, but these were also completely unusable.
Thankfully, I keep the raw "unsubbed" vids on a separate disk, so what I've been doing is quite literally re adding the dialogue and sound fx manually.
Eden is now re rendering and will be posted tomorrow.
Chavs is going through the same process and my next quickfire is also fucked but it's manageable.
The VIP late commission from Buddy is unaffected as it wasn't rendered at all, so that's not an issue.
I know it's all "a lot", it's nevertheless what's truly happened and I'm just laying it out.
I'm mortified, not because of this, but because I've let you down completely again, but this time, I truly don't understand how this could have happened.
Maybe I'm not careful enough when I handle files, maybe I bumped my ssd, maybe I'm cursed, idk.
I don't really know what to say exept sorry. And since actions speak louder than words, I'll just make sure to triple checm
K everything this month, so tomorrow is Eden, no fail since it's rendering now. The Halloween Chavs special will be a few days after and for you'll still get the two videos for this month, a quickfire and the next VIP overdue commission.
I'm gonna keep making these videos, it's what I love doing. It's my only job right now. So I'm not going anywhere. I can't.
That's all.
Stay Awesome.
Elliot.
