Lighting cameraman Ed Lister puts the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch through its paces for a quick-turnaround skincare commercial
Lister’s latest project is making a skincare commercial for prime-time broadcast, so a small, lightweight and mobile means of storing files with quick transfer speeds was right at the top on his long list of priorities. He thought he would try out the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch to see if would do the job that others could not. “I used the portable drive to safely transfer new content from memory cards,” he explains. “This was done on location on the day.” SPEED DEMON Lister was particularly impressed with how it helped him save time. He would normally need to juggle a number of different devices in order to do one job.
ED LISTER IS what you would call an all-rounder. A lighting cameraman and self-shooting producer-director working in broadcast TV and high-end branded content, he’s a man in demand. While that is the highest compliment one can be paid, it also means he’s always on the move – and prefers to travel light. “Often days on location are hectic. If there’s not someone designated to back up the memory cards for the client, it’s usually done at the end of the day,” he explains. “The last thing we want to be doing is waiting for an extremely slow transfer. I’ve been there waiting for an hour per card before with slow drives. After a long day, you just want to be on the road home – it’s tedious!”
