Writing and the like

So I just finished the first draft of the script for what will probably be my next animated feature... first draft is 80 pages long and took 7 days to write as I did it in about 10 page increments... I could have wrote more each day but I just did what felt right...

I want to have a working draft of the script within a month or two and have the boards and concept art done before the end of the year.... if I really hustle I might be able to get some modeling done before the years end as well...

Since I still have no work I can do on HSM as of right now... I'll keep on writing... next I'll write the script for the live action BIGFOOT feature I want to shoot in Northern California next year... its like a totally insane/fucked up comedy so it'll be fun to write...

As a creative person you've got to keep moving... you can't let things grow stagnant...

I can't remember where I found this quote...but when I find myself waiting and not working I always go back to it....


"Don't let the things you can't do stop you from doing the things you can"


Writing and Storyboarding is something we can usually ALWAYS do no matter where we are or what kind of gear we have... I write on my laptop and storyboard on paper using these...

When writing ....no one and nothing else exists.... or matters... its just you and your world...your characters... your story... that's probably what has helped me create so many things through the years without fear of obscurity... I LOVE to create the things I do... and if you do too? AWESOME! But even if my audience shrank to ZERO.... I would still do what I do ^_^

When everyone and everything else fades away... your work will still be your work... even when you fade away it will still be there... waiting to be discovered.

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
