Oh yeh my new 3d animation film school started?!

I was just creating some new Cinema 4d animation tutorials for fun but I've decided this is going to be the first run of my online film school course... The first 4 vids are HERE

I just started making those while I'm bored waiting for the last renders to finish so I can start compositing BUT I've decided too make a lil film within the tutorial series... allowing you to follow along with the whole process...  BUT its going to be out of order since I started with animation stuff ^ ^

So it SHOULD have started with the idea--->Script---> Storyboards etc THEN get to animation but since I didn't intend to make a film with the series it will be out of order... BUT this is only the first "semester"

Here's is an outline of the classes I will be doing PROBABLY ALL THIS MONTH ^ ^ I already did the ones in bold and I'm doing 5 and 6 right now...

001 Making characters come to life for beginners
002 How to use my pre-made rig with your own segmented characters
003 Quick and easy walk cycle creation
004 Making a monster from boring boxman
005 Making set pieces with Mograph
006 Building, laying out and lighting your set
007 Make millions of $$$ with the Jiggle deformer
008 Morphs, facial animation and lip sync
009 Your BRILLIANT idea
010 Writing the script
011 Drawing your probably crappy storyboards
012 Creating the EPIC animatic
013 Animating yer movie part 1
014 Animating yer movie part 2
015 Animating yer movie part 3

  3. Brilliant...but you throw tuts quicker than we can digest. Still on lesson 001 I've learned a lot about constraints. Saw the music video make-off, had no ideia about vertex map/deformers, great tip. Now its time to apply the knowledge, can we send links?
    Thanks, thanks and thanks Master D

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
