An idea about sharing teh one man army 3d knowledge....

So as I'm already past the halfway mark on the film... DONT WORRY I'm still working away and not just posting CRAZY stuff on this blog ^ ^ I'm a little worried that I won't have time to make all the tutorials and the like to share the process with you.... as I haven't had the time to make video tutorials, work on teh "book" much OR do my radio show at all... SO I got an idea to combine all that stuff...

What if when I start publicizing the film... I start a regular live video show like on Ustream with Ustream Producer? Where I can show you my desktop... so live video tutorials or sharing whatever people want to know... the producer app lets you switch between the desktop and the webcam... I watch a Cinema 4d live show like that and its great.... because you know there SO MANY things that can be discussed... but like if I did it that way... Someone could ask..."How to you animate a swordfight?" Then I could simply pop into Cinema 4d and show you exactly how its done and answer all pertinent questions at teh same time.... So it would be like a live M dot Film Skool type thing and whatever I know and have on my computer we can discuss and I can share with you?

I'm thinking it could be a pretty suiTE thing? I haven't seen anything like it with someone who does all the things I do the way I do so I think it would be a good free service for the world of one man army 3d animators/filmmakers like myself eh?

I'm also going to give out fully rigged models and motion clips and a bunch of other stuff I have planned so people will be able to follow along at home.... hmmmm it will be like a free animation mentor class geared toward DIY filmmaking BUT taught by an unprofessional animator BUT professional weirdo ^ ^

LEt me know yer thoughts and if you have some ideas about what I should try let meh know!

  1. That sounds like a good idea, and something I'd definitely be interested in watching. Just make sure that you also record all of the shows for later viewing, because I know lots of people would like to see you work, but may not be able to arrange their schedule to view it live.

    Cheers,

  3. Sounds like it would be pretty sweet, mdot. Would you also archive the Ustream thing somewhere, as well as being live?

    (Of course, that crazy Bill Plympton beat you to the whole "let people on the internet watch you animate" thing. :) )

  8. Ill jump on board with this.

    I had a really bad experience in a 3D animation MAYA seminar, maybe this will be better.

    You always seemed nicer then those teachers. They were mean.

    With this, i may be able to learn at my own pace.

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
