Well i have found myself in a quite a jam the last few weeks so i wanted to spend a little time talking about what to do when something goes wrong during your start up preparation. I am currently taking the kickstarter route. I have everything set up i need and then all of the sudden ... WHAM... the videographer calls me to say that she had all my video files on a external drive that just crashed! Now of course I almost fell over hearing the news and the helplessness was overwhelming. But I picked myself back up and tried to figure out what I could do to keep moving.
First thing to do is to fix that external drive. So I contacted some computer savvy friends and they suggested to send it to a lab. The lab costs around $1,000 . which was a big disappointment but it had to be done.
Secondly i had to keep moving with everything else, instagram sending out photos and facebook talking to friends. I also found some bloggers along the way. I'm definitely using this time to build my fan base before launching on kickstarter and if the drive is completely unrecoverable then im back to making a new video. WISH ME LUCK!!
The best advice i can give is don't let the other areas of your start up drop, just cause one thing is going wrong, doesn't mean you give up on the whole thing. Find places to use the time you have and make sure its productive to your goals.
