The next step after completing animation

So now that all the "creative" work is done...I must fix, refine and add the visual fx...

So now what I shall do is... I made a lil database with Bento 3... just a form that contains the shot #, checkboxes for the type of fix required as there are a few common problems is the shots that need to be fixed... a check box whether it is fixed and rendered... comments and a place for a still image of the shot..
I'm making this so that I'll be able to track all the shots that need work... I could have done it on paper but this way is a lot more organized and since i'm an ORGANIZATION FREAK when it comes to my work I'm going to do it this way ^ ^

So now I'm going to sit and watch EVERY single shot of the film and fill out these forms for the shots that need work... Once I have that... then I will make a new schedule for this fixiN and visual fx... and get to work on that... I should be able to have it all done by the end of this month... FIXING is WAAAAAY faster than the initial creation... its a lot easier and faster to refine something you've already made a decision on than it is to create from scratch...

I'm actually looking forward to this part because I did my BEST on making the shots WIN during the animation phase ... and I was able to do some AMAZING STUFF "in camera" with the straight 3d renders....now I get to make them EVEN BETTER as I shine them up in this phase by adding additional 3d elements... Then when it gets to the comP phase I'll add 2.5d and 2d trickery in After Effects to make them EVEN BETTER...

So yeh ImmA get on DIS...

Thanks for all your support and well wishes in my last post ^ ^

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
