I was filming a photo shoot today in new york city. This wasn't just for my own filming fun.. it was an actual job so that's what makes this terrifying to me.
The footage I shot extended over 3 sdhc cards... I use 8gb ones. I have all transcend cards and one of the Panasonic gold colored ones. I filled up my transcend cards and then shot about 2 minutes of footage on the Panasonic card before we shut down the set.
Nothing unusual happened while recording.. it looked like it was going just fine. Then back at home I went to injest the footage and found that the Panasonic card wasn't even being detected by my Mac. The other transcend cards worked fine. I put the Panasonic card back into the hmc and the hmc said CHECK CARD. I went to format it and it said that it was unable to format the card or really do anything with it.
What the heck happened?... Thankfully I didn't really need those last 2 minutes of footage but the thought of that happening again on another shoot just horrifies me. I thought the Panasonic card would be the last out of all of them to fail as well...
