I AM NIGHTMARE Production Diary #7

So after less than a week of production I have 8 minutes of edited animation- I'm currently on a quota of ten shots a day- so far so good!


Here's a pic of my boards I took whilst animating


I printed out some animation reference sheets I found and tacked em up next to the walk cycle ref


The movie is coming out AWESOME and I'm getting through the shots really fast! All the shots I've completed though my last 2 features plus all the short things like Badassery and Darksided have really helped speed up my workflow and the time it takes me to animate- I'm actually amazed at how easy animating this movie is with how good its coming out 0_0

Through doing the work you learn tricks and techniques to make things easier and faster so I guess I have learned a lot of those ^_^

I just got the rest of the voice acting stuff from the voice actors- I have an amazing cast- I'll introduce you to them soon!

It almost feels like my first two films were practice and this is the real thing knowing what I know now-  and I've said it before but this film is sort of a blend of We Are The Strange and Heart String Marionette-

If you haven't pre-ordered the film yet now is the perfect time as I just released the 27 song soundtrack for the film to everyone who pre-ordered it- so you'll get that along with your hand drawn postcard from me. Although as I've been editing the film as I'm going along I realize there is a deficiency in creepy music so Dash or I will have to make some!

Start making your cg movie today! There is no better time!

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
