So no more scanning and cropping hand drawn storyboards it seems ^ ^
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

ReplyDeleteHaha yeh it is just a tool... but if a tool can save you lots of time and you know it can why not? I haven't tested it yet but if it can skip the steps of manually scanning each storyboard page, running the PSaction, and renaming and moving the files I'm all for it!
I do about 1500-2500 storyboard frames for a feature so it could save a lot of time BUT I'm not going to say OH I CANT STORYBOARD UNLESS I HAVE THAT TOOL!
And it costs a lot less than an ipad and it works with good old paper... also it could bring a lot of reluctant analog artists into the digital realm which is good me thinks.
I'm pretty analog so for me it's O.K o.O
