Pacing yourself...

Well it seems the only problem I'm having so far is working too hard 0_o This week I've been dealing a bit with burnout... but I'm still working... took a day off and have been making sure to sleep enough because as much as I'd like to think so.... I M not a machine that can keep working indefinitely without sleep or food.... So I eased back off the quota for a bit so I dont make my self sick or something before I go to Paris... I left a week open before I leave for my Xmas vacation so now that I'm not working that hard as I recover this week I'll just work then to make up for it....

BUT the shots are coming out awesome ^ ^ Looks amazing n'aLL that... Also my hard drive issues are not so pressing anymore... After the second sequence finished rendering I delete the shot folders off the render server and that free'd up about 500 gigs of space... there was a HUGE texture file sequence used in a bunch of those shots that probably was taking up all that space.... So now the render server drive has about 700 gigs free....

SHET I was going to share some new animation technique/philosophy with you in this post but I r so tired I can't think of it now... better peas ouT... I'll post it when I remember.

  1. You have one of the strongest work ethics around which has inspired many, myself included, to push harder in regards to animation and film.

    Taking a day or two off now and again is perfectly acceptable dude. ^ ^

  2. ay m dot i jsut wanted to ask at all if it would be worth to go to college for animation
    I really don't like being told what to do and pleasing masters and all that stuff but if i don't my dad would never let me live it down (my dad and step mom aren't very supportive of me) and i want to get into animating by myself cause i like working by myself ALOT more I even have an idea for my first movie
    but anyway i jsut wanted to hear your opinion kthnxbai
    P.S. yeah it's good to take breaks every now and then don't blow out mayne!

  4. @Alex:

    d00d! I feel and am going through like the same or similar thing as you. I'm about to turn 17, I haven't even taken the SAT (a very big exam), and I haven't decided what college to go to, let alone go to any college at all, if that's a good idea for what I wanna do?

    I think I'll probably be going to Richard Stockton college, in my state of New Jersey, but I'm not too sure. And WHERE in the 2nd WATS disc did you find anything in which your question was answered??

    Honestly I was checking it all out and don't see or hear anything about college or any of that stuff like that! Did I miss something. I gonna make up my mind before it's "too late"..

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

So a guy is trying to take credit for my film...

TLDR- Scroll down to THE THIEVERY My name is Mike- I make films under the name "M dot Strange" and I have done so for the past 10+ years- this is my story as a filmmaker culminating in a recent event wherein a "filmmaker" tried to take credit for my life's work Here's my imdb page with my film credits  My web site Here's a reel with stuff from my original films in which I wrote/created/designed/animated etc everything that you see- I can and have performed all aspects of animated film production on my films- thats sort of how I made a name for myself- by being a one man animated film studio Here's a presentation from 2014 with me discussing the production of my last film My first animated feature film "We Are The Strange" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007 Sundance archives link Article about the film Link to the film Film's site Because of the buzz that film generated I was given offers to sell the
