Voice acting notes

So earlier this month I sent half of the film to half of the voice actors... that first batch is due back by the 30th... then I'll send out the second half of work and everything else to all of the voice actors next week...

I was in Iceland the past 3 weeks where I recorded voices for 7 characters and today I'll be recording the voice of actor Zhubin Rahbar who plays the coveted role of "JERKFACE" who is easily the biggest jerk in the whole film ^_^
What a JERKFACE!

I'll be working with him in Endika's studio... since Endika is working on the music right now I won't be recording on his main rig... I'll be recording in a back room using my Macbook Pro and the Blue Baby Bottle mic and Presonus USbPre that we we're able to get with your paypal donations way back when ^_^

The main female character Siouxsie is still not cast... I've tried 3 different actresses so far but it's a really tough role and we might be holding local auditions soon to find the right voice actress...

I've announced the names of most of the main voice actors so far AND I will be creating a complete "cast and crew" list next month... but I'm happy to say my pals Ed (Funymony),  ScreamerClauz  and Mike Diva have joined the cast ^_^ 

So right now I'm recording voices then when Endika gives me a new piece of music I hustle and edit/foley/sound design... then continue with the voices... so June is going to be the busiest month so far with so much to do 0_o and I'll be presenting at this event in London June 9th where I'll show never before seen footage from HEART STRING MARIONETTE... It's reasonably priced at 10 poundZ so maybe London's best professional weirdo Tim Drage will show up ^_^ Its a MAC event so I know its kinda poison haha... 

So yeh its BUSY BUSY BUSY but in approx a month from NOW the whole film will be LOCKED and COMPLETED!

Imma kick out another teaser in the next week as well as soon as I can catch my breath...

  2. Congratulations, Mdot! One of my friends is LEGITIMATELY afraid of that face on the screen in the second picture! Film's not even out yet and people are already freaked out!

  3. I'm so hyped! When are you going back on facebook etc? Would easier to follow you and ask questions!

    And how do you find time between this passion and other ones? I have a hard time balancing writing and martial arts together!

    I envy you though, LIVE YOUR DREAM!

  4. Unbelievable, couldn´t find ONE tutorial about making a soundtrack for a film with Cubase (it´s all music, midi, etc.). Maybe Master M could do it, show us some mixing techniques now that you´re working on it.
    Cheers
    *miam miam those screens look awesome

  5. Good to know that steady progress is being made sir!

    Are you all set with voice actors at this point? I'd love to help out there if you're still looking for people, but from the sounds of it other than Siouxsie (which I can't really help out with xP) you seem all set.

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
