The loss is not the drive. It is the shoot day, again.
Negative film, videotape and digitised image cover — with faulty stock, camera and processing — pays the cost of reshooting when the footage itself is lost or unusable.

A licensed human replies the same business day — not an auto-responder, and not five producers calling at once. We shop it across our carriers and tell you if the policy you already have is the right one.
We use this to quote and service your insurance, and we do not sell it or pass it to lead networks. Privacy policy.
What negative film and faulty stock businesses actually need.
Lost or damaged media
Physical loss of the recorded material before it is delivered.
Without it — A stolen or corrupted card means the day is shot again at your cost.
Faulty stock, camera and processing
Footage rendered unusable by a fault in the media, the camera or the processing.
Without it — A sensor or codec fault discovered in post is a reshoot the base property cover does not touch.
Where negative film and faulty stock shows up.
- Film & Entertainment
A card fault or a processing error does not cost you a drive, it costs you the shoot day again.
What negative film and faulty stock operators ask us.
Does it cover operator error?
Generally no, and that is the line to understand. The form responds to a fault in the stock, the equipment or the processing — not to someone forgetting to hit record, misjudging exposure, or wiping a card. Broad form extensions widen it somewhat; human error remains the main exclusion.
