A new challenger appears!

I just laid out the schedule until December 2013 for the production of God Lives Underwater...

September 11th 2012- November 30th 2012: Modeling, texturing, lighting, rigging (30+ characters, 10+ sets)

December 1st 2013-August 31st: Animation (1,500 shots)

September 1st 2013 - December 2nd 2013: Rendering, Compositing, Edit, Fx

December 3rd 2013 - December 24th 2013: Sound design/Foley/Mix/Master

December 25th 2013: Release

Now I'm going to use the same workstation+render nodes I used on HSM so I don't need to spend any money on hardware... the only big expense will be the power all the computers use month to month for rendering... I'm currently looking into solutions for that... computer hardware/software may be getting cheaper and cheaper but power is getting more and more expensive...

I've got some ideas I'm going to grinding on to solve that problem... I'll say more when I have the answer ^ ^ 

I'm looking forward to telling you a new story... and to tackle a new challenge!

    2. If you're in California http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/csi/index.php has some info about the california solar initiative, which can help counterbalance the initial investment of getting things set up.. About five years ago the state had an awesome rebate plan, but that get put on the chopping block with a whole lot of other alt energy options. What city you in? Some counties have local incentives too.
      Also, if all else fails: craigslist! There are often people selling used setups (usual for... indoor gardening...)

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
