I once filmed an entire days footage in Night Mode...

I once did this at a battle re enactment with about thirty extras (it sucked) and have also many times forgot to press record and just pointed the camera at some really cool shots whilst it was on standby.

Doing a long choreographed fight scene only to find that the cameraman would only hit record the SECOND before action started, and stopped recording THE INSTANT it stopped.

Obviously each shot was missing at least 2 seconds before and after, rendering it unusable.

Building a camera rig for a zipline that would've looked awesome and forgetting to hit record.

I did a movie with a scene where the character I played had his arms, legs, and mouth duct taped. It was very hard to direct that scene since I couldn't move or talk. And I was like that for 3 hours!

Another time we were getting ready to shoot a scene where we were going to hit our duct tape dummy with a car. We were setting it up when this farmer guy drives up next to us in his truck and turns off his engine. We all got freaked out. But it turned out that we were filming on his private road. Go figure. He said he just wanted to stop by and see what we were doing. Cause most of the people that stop out there are dealing drugs. Lucky for us he was nice and let us finish filming. I dunno what we would have done if he had kicked us off his road.

Centering an entire plot around a mouldy sandwich, and not including a shot of said mouldy sandwich.

Back in the day I was filming a ninja movie. There was a shot when 4 ninjas would charge down the hill and run on either side of me.

One of them thought it would be a good idea to hit me the cameraman in the stomach with their weapon as hard as they could while running by.

So obviously I double over and the shot is ruined.
