The final showDOWN!


(Cue DBZ showdown music) So yeh I'm back getting ready for teh final showdown to finish the film... NOW I must come correct as meh homie Juan asked if that %80 included everything... so like no it does not thats only the animation phase which is the LONGEST phase of work for meh.... So once I'm done with the animation I will composite all the shots which will take 1-2 months as well as teh editing process which I will make quick work of... Once I get the music I will be able to start editing as I cannot do it before then.... ideally I would have liked to be editing all along but thangs work out like they does and I has to go wiF the flow if I am to work wif anyone else but myself nah mean? BUT No matter what happens I have backup plans in place to make sure the film is finished when I have planned it to be.

An idea... a feeling... a film... only has a certain shelf life or period of maximum relevance or impact I believe... there is a window of time floating in space that it needs to go through and I won't miss that window...I will do whatever it takes to make it there because if I don't all is lost... I'm going to go into pre-pro on my next film in 2011 and into production in 2012 so I can release it to you in 2013... and I will continue this 2 year cycle so hitting deadlines is important to me....

So to get ready OR mess with some edits sooner rather than later I turned one of the render slaves into meh editing/audio workstation... thats whats in the photo... I had 2 20" monitors sitting around and an extra keyboard and mouse AND that ol 8800gt laying here so I popped all that in that render slave... it will still be rendering most all the time but I can use it to edit or do sound stuff whenever I want too...

SO I'm planning to have ALL ANIMATION done by the end of September AND the ENTIRE FILM done before Jan 1st 2011... Now you may be asking yourself why is it going to take 3 months to do %20 of the animation?!? WELL because I'm going to DO SOME CRAZY SHIT!!!! and its the end of the film so ya know it has to be the best work I do...so I set more time aside for the end... I should be animator BEAST by now so with all that time I'm going to pull off some madness....

Thanks again for your support... I get back to work on Monday as I have some more computer/file management stuff to do before then.....

  1. Yo brostrange, I was hoping you could get a big team for that new movie you said, because if the world ends in 2012, we won't be able to see it. :(

  4. I like everything I just read. I'm going to do everything in my power to come see the premier of this. I'm not in the military anymore, so there's not much of an excuse for me not to.

  6. Jaguar is a dangerous predator
    and fight with him is very difficult
    Do not worry when he comes, do not try to grow a wheat just always keep their swords at the ready
    And do not be afraid of a jaguar he goes with his children

  10. I had a dream last night that you directed Toy Story 3. I woke up in a cold sweat. Not that Toy Story 3 will neccessarily be bad, just damn that was scary. I guess I'm psyched to see what you've been doing the past 3 years.

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
