Keep it undercoveR

This is why I haven't shown anything from the new film..and why I won't until it is complete...



How many times have you seen it... A person announces they are going to make some animated film and they release still images, a teaser trailer and all that stuff and everyone goes "Omg thats AMAZING etc" and then the person NEVER finishes it? I've seen it MANY MANY TIMES...Rustboy COUGH...

Delayed gratification is the BEST... you keep working harder and harder until the day is upon you to finally share the thang yer workin on... don't get desperate and show something to get some attention and praise...just keep grindinG

  1. I've been doing this for the past 2 years without even knowing I was supposed to be doing it! ...And reflecting on that... my music is the only thing I've stuck with for 2+ years. As my Chinese friend would say... HORY SHET

  8. You should not allways keep things undercover! cause when you make new sketches, that do not have a direct relation with your big project, just to train your skill. or small side projects, to help you gain a little experience animating, also not related to your big project, are also not bad to show.
    I got like a 1000 sketches in my book, and it would be impossible to make a finished painting out of every sketch. even tho they can be really good sketches. I'm making new ones every day. So it's not so bad to show little things, little creations on the way, that dont have anything to do with the big thang.
    But you are right about the Big Thangs, they should be finished before showing,
    but i would download HSM if the download would be there first,
    but i would buy it if I could buy it before i could download it.
    U know what i mean. If i wana be the first do i have to be a DLer or a Buyer?

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
