Thank you so much for your donations! Just ordered the new PC parts!

Thanks to everyone who donated to be an extra in the film! It was steadily moving towards the goal and then my awesome sister and brother in law made a big donation today and pushed it over the goal ^_^

So big thanks to them and to Tim, Jemilla, Krystian, Chris, Tristan, ALL THREE Josh's haha, Joseph and Jordan- it means a lot to me that you believe in the film so much, so thank you!

I just ordered the parts...


So I'm going to be busy making 3d versions of everyone who has or will donate to be an extra ^_^ The extra offer is still open of course- any additional funds will be used for production to pay for power bills and the like.

Something I forgot to mention is that I'll be giving you the rigged 3d model of yourself so you can animate yourself or do whatever you'd like haha

So to everyone who contributed I'm going to do my best to make an awesome movie and make you proud!

So to reiterate the offer is still open AND your characters are more than just extra's- they are actually important to the films narrative- I just storyboarded the parts you will be in today- some of you will even be eaten by monsters!

Well I'm back to work! Thanks again yall! ^_^

  3. Hey, finally saw this and immediately donated! I find your production stuff (like "How to not get lost in production") to be super helpful. Please keep up these posts about how you are actually making things happen. I find it both insightful and super motivating. Hope that everyone pitching in what they can makes a difference for you!

    1. Thank you! Of course! Please, whatever specific questions you have please ask them! I'm going to do one now to show how I break a script down into boards, organizing the dialogue for sync etc- stuff like that?

    2. I think time / project management is a huge thing, especially because you are doing your own project. How do you deal with resistance? Like, what do you do when you have a problem that you've been working on for 10 hours and you are not finding any answers and hitting a frustration point? What is your working day schedule like? How many days a week do you work? How often and what do you do to get distance from your work (perspective) or to recharge? etc! Thanks!

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
