Gearing up for the HSM release!

So I finished cutting the two trailers for the film... one is a totally E_VILE trailer and the other is all heartwarming haha...so they can appeal to different peepS...

I have settled on two new tagline's for the film which when combined are the films USP! OMG voltron like combining for ultimate power?!

I never thought I'd see the day when I was excited about Unique Selling Propositions and affiliate marketing 0_o but in a quest to discover a sustainable true indie business model I'm willing to learn anything I have to....

I created 50-60 promo images for the film with the film's tagline's on them and a few blank ones...

A few of you have noticed the affiliate program link up above on this blog... that's part of my release plan as well... I will officially launch it in a week or so and provide all the details + marketing materials at that time...

I built a site wherein I detail EVERYTHING I've done for this release in a step by step fashion so you can duplicate my method yourself if you choose to... it goes over how to compress your film... set it up to sell online and build the site for the film, setting up the affiliate program etc with my reasons as to why I chose to do what I did...... I'll make it live when I release the film...

As soon as the release goes live I'll get to work creating the extra's for the "special edition" release to come later...

So in about two weeks you'll see the film and FINALLY see what the fuck I've been doing with my life these past 4 years 0_0

So yeh... thanks for stickin with me.... things will get really interesting...really soon ^_^

    I dunno why but when i read that my mind was in epic mode and i started going "Yes i can watch it now!" even though i clearly knew it still isnt released.
    Way to build up the hype. ;D

    Heartwarming? Nope. You don't do heartwarming even if you say you do (hehee) Really psyched for your release. Will promote the hell out of it on my end. Great idea to do a site with all of the affiliate info, etc. Giving back to the community!

    HSM will soon take over the world.

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
