Do what you fear ( in art ^_^ )

As I'm working on this film in which everything is 3d I often wonder why I didn't get into doing this way sooner?! Why did I do all that ridiculous stuff to get a stopmotion character into a 3d set?! Why would I get scurred and do cutout animation in 3d?! Its so much easier/flexible..works and looks so much better in 3d.... its because I was afraid 0_0 Coming from stopmotion where you do thangs with yer fingers like SNAP YO FINGAZ I was acting like a BIA BIA because 3d wasn't that comfortable ^ ^ So I was afraid of it... now after going through teh struggles to get like full 3d powerS like I does now... looking back it wasn't that hard... the key to learning is to not be in a rush and not be afraid... I didn't try to "seriously" learn 3d until I was already making wats so I was in a rush and afraid because of deadlines etc... In between films I had time to experiment and learn and WAS IT WORTH IT!!

So if your having a hard time learning something new... just take a deep breath and work at it patiently and you'll get there AS LONG AS YOU KEEP AT... we all know about learning curves rigH... Well it seems tough until you get over that curve so keep pushing I promise you it won't get all Sisyphus on you ^ ^

AND if your afraid... don't be! Run into that artistic fire HEAD FIRST yeh you'll get a couple OOOW OOOW OOWies but you won't die and you'll be higher up teh mountain than you were before on the way to reach yer dreams aaaaaawwww.... didn't know I could be so heartwarming eh?

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
