As a business grows it needs to develop systems of organization. I have resisted this for a while because sometimes I feel like when systems and structures sneak in, creativity and personality somehow escape out the back door at the same time. But after being in business for over a year and half now and archiving all my footage I had to come with a system. The first step was to develop a tape labeling system so that each tape would have a unique label. The next step was to have a place to put all the tapes and that is where I had failed…. Until now!

I just purchased this MiniDV tap rack from Bryco Products and finished filling it up. The only problem is it holds 100 tapes and I still have probably over 100 just from last year still in various locations throughout my office. So I guess I will be purchasing some more real soon. I think this will be a happy marriage b/w organization and creativity.
