Wait....wait...I make films?

My like 6 week international travel thang is over now as I is teh brain dead FACED... The last stop was the Waterloo animation festival... it was weird cause like in the screening there were WATS fans who knew all the lines and were screaming at the screen... I asked the projectionist to turn the sound up so loud the right speaker blew oops... during the Q & A someone asked me to totally "bust rhymes".... without hesitating I spAT a few baRRRS in the dark theater... thats the first time that has happened... but wait wait... I'm supposed to be making a film right? Not freestyling in Canadian movie theaters?!?

As far as HSM goes... I reworked the schedule so that the travel didn't put me behind...AND I've made some breakthroughs with it that have been raising my like animator confidence power leveL somewhere near 8,892...

I keep reworking the animatic which is making the film more WIN each time...

So I'm back and will be writing in here regularly again... I can FINALLY build my render farm this week so I'm sure I'll geek out bout that...

  1. Welcome home, mDot. Glad to see you back in the saddle with high confidence. I envy your trips around the world talking about WATS and having fun. I know it's tiring, but meeting all of those people must be fun. Sometimes trips like that can act like ginger between sushi rolls: you are refreshed and ready to go!

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
