    1. 1. It depends on what you feel the most comfortable off, and it depends on taste too. I've always had a liking for stuff that moves, so i would go for animation, specially if it represents a challenge for you (artistically, you'll always find a way to get the material you need for your projects).
      2. M gave some pretty good recommendations on a podcast of his film school videos, i personally bought "developing digital short films" which i think it's great. I also recommenda Joe Murray's "Creating Animated Cartoons with character" (he's the creator of Rocko's modern life) and even though it comes from someone in the big industry, he still follows the principle of always sticking with your ideas, and he gives some good advice if your are planning to make a series.
      3. All the time n___nU, but you should do it anyway, the important thing is that you feel comfortable with what you're doing.

  7. that's the 1st hour and a half long podcast i've ever listened to ever.

    i'm a big mdotstrange fan and i'm a big screamerclauz fan.

    you both bring something different to the table which means there's different stuff ON THE TABLE which is good.

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
