Whats missing from most "indie" filmmakers? Teh HUSTLE

You know if your going to learn how to do one thing in life it would probably be HOW TO HUSTLE... Cause to get things done NO MATTER WHAT you gotta be a lil bit of a HUSTLA!

Urban dictionary describes teh Hustle as this...

Anythin you need to do to make money... be it sellin cars, drugs, ya body, ya weird ass cartoons on DVD.  If you makin money, you hustlin.
I been workin two jobs, tryna stay on my hustle and make this money, na mean?
So if you know about teh hustle you would never ask someone how they do what they do if you can't see a way to do it through non-hustla spectacles...

Skip to the 7:15 mark of this video to see an example of me hustlin...

I made almost $400 that night! ^ ^

Once you learn how to hustle you won't worry about how to make money with your film etc cause you trust your inner hustler to make it happen no matter what by any means necessary... So before you start complaining about "how hard it is to be an independent filmmaker" get out there and HUSTLE!

Your definitely going to see my hustle game in October for HSM ^ ^

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
