Gettin there.....

On the surface it seems like nothing is going on with this M dot Strange guy... that's because there's a ton of stuff going on behind the scenes... things are moving CLOSER towards the release of HSM and a bunch of other things and they will all be ready at the same time... Sooooooo I'm waiting till they are all ready so I can be like BLAM!

The second little book "B_BOOK" is ready to go.... THIS ISN'T THE HSM ONE! This was originally going to be in the HSM book but it would have made it way too long and expensive so I made it a separate book.... this one is like my auto-biography/crazy arts manifesto ^_^

I was originally going to do it in black and white to keep the price down but it looked so nice in color I decided to keep it that way even though it makes it expen$ive... so instead of forcing you to buy this lil short book for $34 to get the information I'm going to publish all the text from the book here on this blog... So if you want the info you can read it here for free.... or if you want to help support me and have the book with pics in the flesh you can buy it.... So I'll be posting it on this blog this week but if your crazy and want to buy this little thang right now you can right here

Since I originally split it off to keep it cheap YET I ended up making it expensive too I'm like WTF?! haha... BUT I also thought I should keep my personal stuff separate from the HSM book so that's why I did it... It has pics of me as a kid and tells the story of how I became the professional weirdo I am today... as well a bunch of extremist artist rhetoric ^_^ ITS CRAZY! haha

The HSM making-of book is called "A_BOOK" I should be getting the proof this week so it will be ready real soon as well... it's a bigger book with TONS of photos of stuff you've never seen before ^_^


One of the five cd/mp3 albums I'm making available is HERE and the others will be up soon... if you downloaded all my albums when they were up here you already have all the songs... these cd's will be good for people new to my music as I take the best tracks from the past 8 years or so and put em on these "new" albums...

I'll be updating this blog with info pages for the books and cd's and OF COURSE for HSM! So I'll keep doing that stuff as I do sound for HSM.....


I'm still bangin away on the foley/sound design stuff... its going really good... the film is really starting to come alive... its coming alive as I do foley passes for all the characters... all their footsteps... the sounds they make when they move their limbs...turn their heads... I'm even doing a WHOOSH pass ^ ^ I do all the whooshes with my mouth THEN I apply a pitch shift/octavizer offline process on them and they sound tite.... so after I do the foley pass I go in and add all the sounds I can't do live like gun shots and the like...

So it's all getting there slowly.... I still feel MEGA frustration now and then lately because I just want to put some promo stuff out... so as soon as A_BOOK is up for sale... I'll launch ALL THE PROMO STUFF! Should be in the next 2 weeks ^ ^

Again, thank you for your patience and thank you for your support meh friends.

  2. Man I wish I could buy the CD and book, but I unfortunately am a poorfriend and am saving up for an HD camera. (I'm currently using a 2003-ish digital camera that I got for like 20 bucks at a garage sale to film all of my movies... lol).

    Maybe that camera can wait an extra month or two though....

  10. Congratulations Mdot on finishing your book!

    At first I cringed at the price (I only put 25$ aside for your book ^^; ) I’ll have to start saving but I am sure it will be worth the wait! Can’t wait to have my mind blown! Keep up the inspirational work and words Mdot :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.

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
