  3. M Dot here Is pioneering a new voice in artistic expression. One man
    doesnt make full length feature films an cartoons himself. Now M Dot has
    changed the field an soon when the real artist are making film we will
    hear new voices. Not just these studio lackey puppets. There is going to
    be an interesting shift. People will be reaching new vistas of story
    telling. Everyone who tried to make an animated film an got discouraged
    in the past will look on these tools with new eyes. New plug ins will
    make it easier for anyone with even rudimentary skills to use. So many
    people with stories to tell will start to flourish like thistles in the
    waste of the entertainment that today is a desert.

  5. hey .. not to be negative but I think that to people unfamiliar with mdot , the trailer is really turning people off to the movie ..
    I've posted a couple places and gotten the similar comments ...
    example: "The animation looks great. The "We're so weird! Look how weird we are!" schtick completely, 100% ruins it. Shitty font, terrible narration, stupid writing. Get rid of this trailer and try again."

    personally i think this was the best trailer ..

    2. Yah, I'm with variant. I held off on posting the cliche trailer just cuz I didn't think it'd be a good first impression of your work. But I started posting the legit trailer today and I think it'll be alot more awe-inspiring.

  12. M Dot Strange. You did it again. Another fucking amazing movie. GREAT work my friend! I loved it! I can't wait to buy the DVD soon, I need subtitles for some of the lines since my hearing is sorta lame. But you will earn more of my hard earned cash. I think I have given you like 70 or 80 bucks from me so far and ill be giving you another 20 or 30 for the DVD. But hey! God lives under water... I demand you let me be a voice for one of the side characters. I wanted to he one for HSM but I didn't push at you hard enough. For shame. :-D but for realz, mike diva. I had no idea he was a voice for you, that's tight. Also tell Endika that your biggest-loser fan thought he made a fantastic soundtrack and fit the film perfectly!

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
