My buddy Donny, however, repartitioned and overwrote the wrong hard drive… Destroying video that took in the neighborhood of about 9,000 hours to render.
This was in 1996 1997 so you can only imagine how devastating that was when our rendering farm was 10 machines with Pentium III’s.
Seems trivial now when we have so much computing power at our fingertips, but 10 computers as a dedicated rendering farm was considered insane at that time.
I seriously never had a major gaffe.
