Several people on youtube asked me to include an interview on the "We are the Strange" DVD... So I'm gonna solicit questions from the online audience :) If you have any questions you want me to answer on the interview portion of the We are the Strange DVD extra please post them as comments here...Thanks! I am already including a 20 minute Q &A session from one of the Sundance screenings which answers a lot of the common questions...but yeh...please post your questions and I'll do my best to answer them on the DVD.
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
Hey, thought I would ask some question for the interview.
ReplyDeleteWho was the most complex character to make, and if you had any challenges in trying to make that character?
Who was your favorite character and why?
How did you come up with the ideas for certain add-ins to the movie such as when there is a train going by right after the part where Ori and Rain have there first battle encounter or the unicorn guy who shows up at different parts of the movie.
Now, I know you had pretty much everything written out for WATS, but how did you come up with the 8-bit tombstones or the army rope-capturing laser shooting vehicles? Did you just create them going along or did you plan all of that out?
I think thats all the questions for now, if there is more I might ask ya about them on the next Blog Talk Radio convo.
Thanks!
You MEGA strange Second-Life pal,
Ethan
