This (expletive) part of the (expletive) erased a total of over 1,000 hours of work that we put into this fun 45 minute film we called My Pirate. We were literally five minutes from finishing rendering and seeing the whole movie for the first time when this mother (expletive) piece (expletive) (expletive) (expletive) broke, leaving us with nothing but the memories we had.
