157 - Piles Of Files

Good Point Podcast

Jesper Nørbæk writes: Hi Rafael and Jeremy, To answer your question from the podcast: Please don't be more "professional", it’s impossible to concentrate on what a polished voice is actually saying. And you are definitely not talking too much about NFTs given how big of a shift it is. My question is about piles of files: How do you keep track of your piles of files and compare the versions of a time based work when it develops? With stills I have no challenge since it is easy to open 5 different instances and compare them, but with a time based work it quickly gets complicated. So have you come up with any strategies for managing versions of time based work? What strategies, systems, naming schemes or organizing principles have you found helpful? Rafael once mentioned that a new work he shared actually was a 6 year old sketch, which makes me think, how the hell do you find a 6 year old sketch in your piles of files? I have attached a field recording of trying to help a fly escape through a window. Thanks for doing the podcast, it has helped me a lot! Jesper https://soundcloud.com/codewalk
