All language subtitles for Data wrangler

the role of the data Wrangler is to essentially

take video off of the media from the camera

and safely save it to a computer

approaches with bigger budgets

this job might be handled by a DEIT

or data imaging technician

deits can do initial color grades

calibrate onset monitors

render proxy files

or do any one of a number of things

to catalog and prepare the footage for the edit

but in our case

we need someone who is extremely responsible

to offer the footage

because I only own two media cards for my camera

and I should probably buy more

but they're like

12 bucks a piece

so don't judge me

but that means we had to keep going back

and forth between those two cards

so we needed someone onset

to back up the footage safely to computer

so they could erase a card and then use it again

knowing that our data was safe

so I hired Robin Skringee

wife of Marco Skringee

who I met on the set of Bry Troyer's film

I Love You Puppet Man

she did the data wrangling for that film too

and I was super impressed with how thorough

and careful she was with that data

she brought her own computer set

she sat in the same spot all day

just ready and waiting

for cards to offload the computer

and she had a great attitude about that

we'll talk more about the duties of the data wrangler

in the training series on editing

but Robin backed up the footage to two different drives

she did a data check to ensure that every single bit of

the data was an exact duplicate of what was on the card

is called redundancy

and even started doing an assembly edit for me

you might not

find a data wrangler on every low budget film set

but I strongly recommend having someone

whose only job is to take care of your data

I hear horror stories all the time

or productions that lose memory cards

or accidentally delete them

or erase the data

some movies never get finished

because someone carelessly lost really important data

having a great data wrangler

like Robin Onset helped us all rest easy

knowing that all of our hard work was safely preserved
