Post Notes

So I just finished reviewing all the finished clips for the whole film...

0_0 It's definitely intense and NUTS 0_0

All the "raw" footage combined is 3 hours and 25 minutes.... So I'll be cutting that down to 121 minutes for no reason other than because it is divisible by 11 haha

Of the 1660 rendered compD shots there was 37 errors I must fix and re-render now...all of them were just fx issues where I need to go back and pre-comp the bulk of the layers and just leave the adjustment layers with the grade and look on top... so its simple work... a few shots I must of forgot to render 0_o because they weren't in there...

So I'm gonna have my 1am lunch and get to work on that so I'll be ready to edit Monday....

  2. 3h 25 mins... that's like.. over 9000 seconds... Isn't it a bit overkill to animate and render all those shots? I always animate pretty tight to my storyboard animatic so I'm not wasting time over-rendering shots.. and if I need to add stuff to get the pacing right..but I try not to cut out footage once it's rendered...

    The guy who did "Pigeon Impossible" re-started his film from scratch like 2 or 3 times, throwing away all his previous work.. which is why it took him like 4 years to make a 5 minute short... :(

  3. Congrats! What a trip to see your whole film rendered out. Be sure to save some scenes you cut so we can see them in the DVD special features!

    Im sure I'll make an agonizingly long control freak director who can't kill his babies edition ^ ^

    @nodelete

    Yeh what I did was follow the animatic but if I was in a scene in 3d I'd be like "what does the camera look like here" and I'd find all these alternate angles and stuff I would animate and render out... so I created new shots while animating as well.... and I added heads and tails to all the shots so that added time as well...

    @Ricky

    Yeh its going to be interesting to shave it down and see what kind of movie is in there... BUT there are 4 prequel short stories I'm thinking of creating for the DVD from stuff I removed in earlier versions for the script as well..so expect the 4 dvd special edition ^ ^

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
