One for the road...

Episode 7- it doesn't look so insane or offensive here haha
I'm going to do episode 7 of Badassery this week then I'm going to bounce out the country for a month as a break and to scout locations for a live action feature I'm developing...

When I get back I'm HOPING Endika has some music for me so HSM can move closer to completion... and when I get back like I said I hope to work on HSM but if thats not there... I'll start the storyboards for my next animated feature...

Badassery is fun to do but its not my passion... so as a viewer I know when I'm in pre-production on a feature that means I don't put out new shorts etc for awhile... I was trying to get funding for Badassery so I could continue to do it AT THE SAME TIME as I am working on my next feature... I'd have to work REALLY REALLY HARD to do both at the same time... probably burn myself out a bit... and if there's no $$$ in it then I'm not going to burn myself out for nothing...

There's TONS of animated short filmmakers out there but VERY VERY FEW who kick out features alone... It's probably not the smartest thing to do as shorts are a lot more accesible...BUT working on short's doesn't keep me excited for very long... its not a big enough challenge... the thought of doing a feature alone is a challenge that excites me even though I've done it before... so the challenge now is to do it faster while making it higher quality... that will ALWAYS be a challenge...

So yeh I'm just going to keep creating animated stuff and worry about everything else after... so I hope you enjoy these short animated bouts of madness in the interim until my next "serious" animated feature is released...

AND BIG THANKS to Krys, Tim and Chris for their donations this past month!

I was able to get two much needed 2tb hard drives! Ok back to work on Badassery....

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
