Work too fast wait for renders? 0_o


So I animated 115 shots for the next episode of Badassery in 3 days... the plan when making Badassery is to make it as fast as possible while rendering on one PC as to not make PG&E richer as Badassery is a "for fun" project and well didn't even raise $1000 on Kickstarter 0_o So its not something imma dying to throw money at...

So yeh animate while awake then render while asleep... that's always the plan with this stuff BUT if you animate too many shots the one PC rendering can't keep up... so now I wait like 6 hours for the last 34 shots to render... they only take 3 seconds per frame to render but this episode of like 10 minutes so yeah...

I'm going to have to experiment with using Open GL renders for Badassery as that should get the render times down to like 1 second per frame...

Saying that... waiting kills me 0_0 I myself can't wait for HYPER FAST PC's so there's no waiting at all and you can just create at the speed of thought... my PC should be waiting on me not vice versa...

Well I keep waiting on it... then I'll do the super fast ridiculous sound fx work and upload it on youtube...

    yo m dot dude strange,

    i saw this youtube video where some video graphics professor was like "to get them fast renders you gotta render your scene with only a single light. if you got multiple lights then render the same shot multiple times, once for each light. combine all that ish in photoshop or after effects using layers" in other words, if you've got two lights then turn one of the lights off, render and then turn the other light on and your first light off. render again and pull up both renders in two different layers in after effects. adjust opacity to adjust each light's brightness.

    you ever tried something like this? you into video graphics professors or you just about them playstations?

    regarding badassery, i'm wondering what it takes to build a fan base that's willing to throw money at something, especially a kickstarter campaign. you think the people who donated money to your badassery deal were mdotstrange fans, badassery fans or both?

    how'd kiss build the kiss army? how'd george lucas get all them computer support specialists to dress up like jabba the hut and attend gen cons and all that biz?

    where does windows 7 fit into your familial hierarchy?

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
