First 24 hours of my new film on sale- numbers

OMG transparency! So a few people asked me to share how the film is selling ....numbers etc... I'm selling the film from my own site here for $5 w/the soundtrack ^ ^

So in the first 24 hours its sold 265 downloads

The film is the main item I'm selling but there's a few other items as well that add to the 24 hour total
I don't have any expectations as far as initial sales go... I could have sold the download of the Film+Soundtrack for much more...like $20 - $25 but I went with $5 because I didn't want to price poor people out of the equation.

Most of the affiliates haven't gotten started yet as I just sent them the materials but here is the 24 hour total for affiliate sales...


So if these continues every day for the next year we're really on to something! haha... I don't know what to expect but I'm just going to do my best and work with the affiliates and hopefully we can make this thing a big success! We have unlimited inventory!

After affiliate payouts I'm splitting the profits 50/50 with Endika

The bossman from DPD sent me a screencap of their bandwidth when HSM went on sale

My goal as far as the money goes is to make enough so that I'm able to make my next film "God Lives Underwater" much faster than Heart String Marionette.

  1. HAving just finished the film all i can really say is i hope this pays out for you. This movie is so much unlike anything ive ever seen before. Its good. Its amazing. One of the best pieces of art ive ever seen. Congrats to both you and endika. Not many people even try much less succeed. you did both. Sadly i cant pin point every thing that made the film work. My minds not functioning on that level right now but i hope you take my words for as deep a meaning as they can have.

    p.s. dvd/blue ray, both your books, and please a HSM shirt... all on my must buy list.

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

So a guy is trying to take credit for my film...

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
