Imagination to reality

The thing that excites me most about animated filmmaking is that you can take something... ANYTHING you can imagine and run it through this fun pre-production/production/post-production process and make it a reality... any WORLD... any CHARACTER... any SCENARIO...any MOOD... and make it REAL... At first all you need is an idea, a computer to write a script, access to a printer to print it out then pencils, and paper

That's where I'm working right now and for the next 2 weeks doing the storyboards for my next film... NO ONE has even seen my last film... NOW I want as many people as possible to see my films and I want to be able to make a good living off of them as well BUT this idea to reality thing is the real GOLD... To create films and to create MORE

I just have to hope and believe that in the future people will see these films... and hopefully enjoy them and share them with others... Because I know my job is to create and to just keep doing that for as long as I can whilst always striving to get better.... to make better films... FASTER

Starting in 2012 I plan to make an animated feature film every year whilst increasing the quality of each production.... and while lowering the budgets ^_^ If I can send an animated feature into the market every year I have a pretty good chance at success I be thinkIN... Can I do it? I don't know... but that won't stop me from trying ^_^ OH THE POWER OF IMAGINATION!

And btw....HEART STRING MARIONETTE WILL be completed before the end of next month... just thought I should let you know ^_^

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

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
