I'll find a way 0_0

So it took me like 4 hours to export the pdf of the second book so I could upload it to createspace... Once I got it right it was 1 gigabyte and the max is 400mb so I had to tweak some more to get it right... eventually I did.... now I wait on they system to reject it or A-OK it...

So then I got back to foley work... foley is REALLY fun... I'm having a good time sitting on the floor making the sounds for the characters movement with this wooden guy...

EXCEPT my main PC is way too loud 0_o I was getting all this PC noise in tha mic... ended up having to record the foley with this laptop as its real quiet... its a good thing I got an external usb audiobox because of your donations way back when ^ ^ So I just unplugged it from the PC and plugged it into dis laptop... and finished my foley stuff for the first movement of the film... I already finished all the "ambient" sound design for the whole film... I went through and created ambient sound environments for each location... they are REALLY tite ^ ^ So now I'm going through and doing the foley... In the original plan I wasn't going to do this... but I'll do whatever I have to do to get the film FINISHED in less than a BILLION YEARS... with my audio/crazy music background imma handle dis NO PROBLEM...
The music is so dominant and since I made those tight sonic environments the foley stuff is pretty minimal...

Some days EVERYTHING is a struggle but you just have to FIND A WAY to get things done... I'm just going to keep struggling and keep finding ways to get this bastard DONE....

  3. 1Gb???hum...that sounds like your images have too much resolution, remember if it's to see as pdf in your monitor 72dpi is enough, for a "home" printer 150dpi and only use 300dpi if your going for offset typography.

  4. If you don't have it, get a Zoom H2 mic. It is excellent for foley and captures awesome outside stereo ambiance as well. Can be set to front, rear, 2 channel or four channel stereo. Price is falling all the time.

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.

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.

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
