Hardware/Software test "Rabbit Junk" Promo

So since I have to stress test my stuff and make some animations I decided to make it useful... So I'm creating a short promo for the band "Rabbit Junk"... really liking theY new album and I modeled that weird rabbit so like yeh... All the animation is done...just waiting on renders so I can composite the last few clips....

I did it all really quick but I like the way it turned out... I used Cinema 4d 10.5 which doesn't have the NLA tools so I was copying and pasting keyframes which isn't that fun... but with some of the new texturing features and judging by the way that rabbit turned out... I could easily create my "Rain" character from "We are the Strange" in 3d now... Actually if I made WATS today it would probably be %90 3d...So for those of you that wanted a "We are the Strange" sequel... I can say for sure that those characters will live again in 3d in the future ^ ^ I'm figuring out how to make my 3d look like my gritty stopmotion puppets... and getting faster at everything in the process...hmmm when can I fit that in?????

But yeh I'm hoping the renders are done tomorrow so I can comp em and post the video before Friday...need to get back to HSM and FACE stuff... oh yeh FACE is a live action/animated short film I'm almost finished with... there's a preview vid in my youtubE.

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
