Before I try crowdfunding again for I AM NIGHTMARE

I'd have to let everyone know who has pre-ordered or donated that I really appreciate it and I want to show you the best I can that the funds you donated have gone into the production of the film.

There's been 55 pre-orders for a total of $1,125 raised

Through the donation widget that's been on the site a total of $757 has been raised for the film


So between pre-orders and donations thats about $1900 raised for the film.

I've used almost all the funds to pay the main voice actors on the film- here are the sent payments


So that's a total of $1725 spent on voice actors- I spent the rest upgrading the video card on my workstation- I wrote about the video card some posts back.

So before I start another small kickstarter campaign or something like I just wanted to show you that I'm not wasting the money on bullshit.

Yesterday my one PC that was rendering died- the mainboard is kapUT-

So my crowdfunding goal will be $700 (or $750 so I get $700 after the crowdfunding sites cut) as thats the cost to buy a new CPU, mainboard and Ram to upgrade one render node.

So what should I do? Should I do another kickstarter with rewards like becoming an extra in the film for $50 or something or what? let me know what you all would want especially if you already donated/pre-ordered- what can I do for you?

The sky is the limit so don't think any request is ridiculous- its my film so I can do anything I want ^_^

So please let me know what funding reward would really make you excited to contribute- besides getting the film/soundtrack etc

Signed original storyboard pages? Signed original script pages? Imdb producer credit? Let me know and I'll get this thing goin! Thanks!

  1. the extra in the film thing is a fantastic idea, unless somebody decides that theyre going to donate for that reward and not have a mic or a camera or anything like that to actually BE an extra, you know?

    Signed pages also great ideas.
    Random little swag type things you would get at a convention and go bananas over for about a week. keychains, shirts, maybe like a "prop" from the movie. ive noticed after extensive and hard (sarcasm) research into kickstarter that projects with more material prizes tend to win.. also the ones with most facebook shares. :/

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
