A few lucky people will be eaten by monsters!

I started animating the scenes where I will be using the people who have become animated characters in I am Nightmare- Everyone will be on camera- here is an example crowd shot- the characters without the masks will be replaced with you!

I can already say that since they were the first two people to donate to become extra's - Tim and Jemilla will end up being the two people up front ^_^ AND they will both be eaten by monsters! As will two or three other lucky people!

So I've animated the shots but I haven't made the custom characters yet- I'll do that once the shots are locked then replace these standins with the custom characters

There's still time to be an extra in the film so if you want to donate to help support the production and have your 3d self be in the film click here

I setup the new render PC that I was able to buy thanks to the donations- it renders SO FAST 0_0 I overclocked it to 4.5ghz so its actually faster than four of my old render computers combined!

So thanks again everyone who has pre-ordered, donated, or become an extra in the film! We've got something special going on with this film so I'm happy to have you all be a part of it some way!

Also if you follow my blog you'll know that my cat Boo has been sick and I've been giving him Intravenous fluids every day for the past year- he's weaker and a lot slower but he's still going! As I was animating yesterday he decided to sleep on the script next to my keyboard ^_^

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
