We looked into existing offloading apps, but they were all very complicated, and none of them could handle offloading multiple sources simultaneously. The producer noticed that we had a lot of time on our hands and understood that we were a better fit for their data handling needs. Still, offloading took so long that production had to source over a hundred CF cards to be able to continue shooting during the day (and then spending the whole evening on offloading and the next morning). We quickly helped him out with an AppleScript that prompted to rename the files on each card so at least they could track which file belonged to which camera. ![]() Who did not have an easy job was the data handler: Ties Versteegh NSC (yes, a DP was doing data □) had the worst job of his life trying to offload 15 Canon 5Ds plus a bunch of GoPros with 8+ hours a day of footage being shot on each camera. So me and Thomas, now COO of Hedge, kinda had an easy job (shout out to BoomRecorder□). At the time, that was a crazy amount for a TV show. I was working on a Dutch show for national TV called Challenge Day, handling all things sound - 60+ channels of audio, half of which were wireless. Challenge Dayīack in 2011, I was a live & TV sound engineer specializing in out-of-the-box projects. Time to reflect on that past and have a look at the future. But growing from 1 app made by 4 people to 8 apps with 30 people on the team doesn't just happen overnight. That's exactly what a startup is like you can't afford to look back because you'll get hit in the head by the next crazy thing coming at you at full speed.īeing on a rollercoaster makes it hard to take a step back and appreciate all that is happening around you. Looking back, though, I realize it is a good fit - but with a different meaning: during a ride, you just don't have time to appreciate that corkscrew or zero-grav drop you just went through, as the next item is coming at you at max speed. Most people would describe a rollercoaster as something you voluntarily sign up for, knowing it will be terrifying and exhilarating at the same time you just don't know yet to which extent. With so many amazing things happening and meeting so many amazing people, it's been a very full seven years.īack then, I never really liked the too-often-used rollercoaster metaphor thrown around a lot in startup circles. The last seven years have been a bit of a paradox: it's all a blur, but at the same time, I remember each moment very vividly. ![]() ![]() To thank you for your time, we’re offering three lucky winners up to $500 □ in Hedge funds.
