Design Phase

So now that the technical issues are out of the way I am in the design phase... this has to be some of the most fun you have in production... So what I do is..... I have my inventory sheets... lists of all the things I need to build...So I sit there with that list and a sketchbook... I draw out what the things will look like and take notes as to how I am going to make them...

I can say so far it will be VERY mixed media...more than I had anticipated but if my braIN is excited about it I have to do it...

So after everything is sketched/planned out I will break all the elements down to theY media types... So I have inventory sheets that are the same as the others I posted except they say "3d" or "Stopmo" or... at the top so then I break all the elements down based on media type... then once this is all done by October 1st I will begin actually making the elements in whatever media type it may be...

So yeh this is fun because its not based in reality... that is to say in your mind these things are perfecT... until you try to make them then you have to make compromises because the designs are not always functional...

What format should I render out of Cinema 4d with?

UPDATED 2_27_13!  RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is  at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16
