Creating for the future

I work hard to create the things that I do... and I know not many people like or "get" it NOW... So I've always been making things for the FUTURE... I know that yeah.... maybe 20 people see this thing I've created today but it will exist on the internet and whatever the internet becomes....and it will be here FOREVER... it is all eternal...

Want to be eternal yourself? Well then put your HEART and SOUL into your creations! If they are a reflection of YOU and what you stand for and believe in... if they are a reflection of YOU then you will be eternal...

So in one way or another my creations... or I myself in essence.... will always be here waiting to be discovered by someone new... waiting to say something to those who will listen...

A lot of people make attaining currency their ultimate goal in life... when you DIE your currency will simply be transferred to someone else... and it has no bearing on who "you" were... or what you did... it is meaningless in regard to the time you spent in this existence... by having amassed wealth or currency the thing that "defines" you makes you and your existence meaningless in the long term...

A great quote by Beethoven to some meaningless prince of his time...
"What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven."
Beethoven is ETERNAL because of his music... and what of that prince? Who knows? Who cares?

Someone I was talking to tonight asked me this question...
Why do you do what you do? Why do you spend years of your life making these films?
After thinking about it for a moment... I've decided that I'm creating these things to be discovered by the people of the future... that may sound grandiose or crazy to some... but its the truth...

If I just went by who and how many people are into my stuff TODAY it would be pretty depressing haha... but alas I'm creating these works for people that haven't come into existence yet ^_^

So people of the future that read this... yes I made it all for you! ^_^ Because I know that you'll be here looking for me because I made this....

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
