Technical Difficulties 0_o

This week has been a technical nightmare trying to get the FINISHED film exported/encoded/uploaded.... been trying since Monday and still trying now... I had to switch the film to a pre-order as some big press exposure is coming tomorrow and the film itself isn't online yet... so I'll be working all night baby sitting failing ftp uploads to try to make it so it will be available tomorrow... if not it will be a pre-order and when you buy it you'll automatically be sent a download link when the film is up... which should be within a day or two... unless everything continues to go wrong 0_o

As for some good news... the trailer will be live tomorrow... its NOT the usual trailer and I hope you find it interesting!

K I'm back to cursing at my software/hardware/ and internet connection! GAWD DAMNIT SHIT BASTARD ASS!!!!!!!

  5. It's almost like you can't fucking plan ahead anymore. Maybe when we release movies, we should just announce after the fact or something. hahahah. Hang in there amigo! Been waiting five years, can probably wait a few more days. :D

  8. Hi M!,

    Just done the pre-order & grabbed the 1080p WATS :D - Is there any chance of you uploading the Sundance cut of WATS in 1080P later? (some films, eg: yours, r better left unexplained). Commiserations re; the technical difficulties.

    All the best,

    yr weirdo pal in 'Bonny' Scotland!

  9. The cliche trailer is fucking hysterical! If there was any justice in the world, it should play at every shite-y multiplex crap-palace in the entire universe just to tweak people out!

    LMAO! :D

    btw, stellar job getting that trailer d00d to do the V.O. seeing how he's all dead an' shit. You'm been using mad Aleister's wacky magik skillz ;)

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
