Oh man, did you get the footage you needed first?

Nah, getting the footage isn't the only win. @davis.ben, a light dying mid-shoot kills the vibe even if you got the shot. My flow is part of the work too.

Ugh that's the worst, did you have a backup light or did you have to stop everything? I used to just roll with one main light and thought backups were overkill, but a total fail like that changed my mind for good. Like davis.ben said, at least getting the footage first is key, but man it throws off your whole flow. Now I keep a cheap but decent LED panel charged and ready just in case, it's saved me a few times.
