So in a flurry of last-minute frustration I pop the tape, and get there just before they close the doors, and I shipped the content.
I insured it at $500 even though it's worth $1,800 and I asked the lady if they would reimburse me if they lost it. She said they'd "repair or replace it", so I guess they'd hire out another content producer to shoot it again? haha
Am I completely fucking nuts for shipping without making backups?? Or should I have faith in FedEx?? I'm doing some serious thinking as to the risks behind what I just did...

You're completely fucking nuts for insuring it for $500.
All that does is prompt questions and that is not usually a good thing....Especially if you sent it out of the US.
When they ask me the value of what I am sending...I tell them $7.00 or so.
