Forever Alone Filmmaking podcast is SO ALONE+

Our obscure little animated feature filmmaking podcast got a little more obscure this week- as Jimmy Screamerclauz was banned from yet another social networking site for reasons unknown ^_^ This time he was banned from Facebook...

Jimmy was the creator of the podcast's facebook page and he maintained it-  since he was banned the podcast page no longer exists... I don't have a facebook account so I'm not sure if it can be salvaged...

So we'll have to find a new place that listeners can submit questions and suggestions... if you have any ideas please let me know in the comments...

In other news... I've made a bunch of songs for the I am Nightmare soundtrack and I rewrote the end a few weeks ago....all signs point to EPIC with a side of teary eyed ^_^

If you haven't seen the I AM NIGHTMARE pre-order and donation page they are at the top right of this blog...

There was a question about the pre-order price which is $25- I'm assuming people that will pre-order are already into my films- since the kickstarter campaign failed I wanted to give people the opportunity to still donate to the film- so I chose to do a pre-order + a donate page-

For an HD download, a soundtrack download, a coupon for %50 off the DVD and a hand made one of a kind piece of art from me I figure $25 is a fair price- and if people want to donate more than $25 they can do that with the donate page...

Several people have told me that they thought I undercharged for HSM+Soundtrack for $5- So I'm trying something different for the early supporters and ONLY they will get the hand drawn personalized postcard- that won't be available when the pre-order is over- Granted I am some unknown obscure filmmaker but what other animated feature film director/animator will mail you a personalized postcard this Xmas for $25 PLUS you automatically get his new movie + the soundtrack next Xmas! I think its pretty suite ^_^


THANK YOU to all the peeps who already pre-ordered/donated! Thank you for supporting my films and/or believing in me! I've been going through some real life bullshit recently and your support means a lot in times of WHATTHEFUCKAMIGOINGTODOWITHMYLIFE?!?! haha

  1. Wow, that's bloody mental.

    As for question options, maybe;

    1, A twitter hashtag (#fafp My Question).
    2, Revive the Tumblr
    3, A podcast email?

    Preordered yesterday, I'll replicate my Kickstarter pledge after the holidays ;) Good Luck man.

  2. It's hard to beat facebook for communities. You could find someone else to start up a new page and send shit along to you. I could help you out there maybe. It's probably not too much work. I have me skypez.
    By the way, got my preorder too. Your films are really worth it man. Damn sure life won't kill you :D

  5. Why did he get banned? The page was really clean and it's not even like he hosted his videos on there? How does this make sense?

  6. I thiiink a facebook page/group will remain if you have multiple admins and the creator gets banned, might be good to do that if you/someone makes another. I would be up for helping out with facebook business of any kind since i'm on there ALL THE TIME X__X

  8. You DO have a FB page bro! I've been running it for you for over a year. Happy to move anything there you'd like or just give you the log in and you can set it up anyway you want. If others want to help out that's cool too!

    And very glad to donate to your cause. You are an inspiration to us, Mdot.

  9. I haven't been given a real reason why I was banned yet, facebook won't respond to any of my emails. If I try to login I get a message that says my account has been disabled due to harassment. But it turns out the same day everyone from Butchers Harem and their associate acts were deleted as well. They think it was some sort of "attack" by a rival label or some other shit. So I might have been included because I did that music video for them. I miss the days when rappers used to just shoot each other, now I just get digitally shot in facebook drive-bys!


    The Heart-String Marionette page I made is still up though: https://www.facebook.com/HeartStringMarionette I made a couple of other people admins so much like Michael Douglas in Falling Down all the drive-by bullets missed it. Where The Dead Go To Die, Forever Alone, and ScreamerClauz (music) are gone forever though. I'll eventually make another account but I really don't feel like going through the process of re-adding everyone just yet. I'm giving them another week to see if I can get the old one back

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
