Redefine your limits

You truly don't know what your capable of until you go all out and push your limits.

The limits and boundaries you have built for yourself are only theoretical until you have REALLY given %100 effort for a prolonged period.

The limits or boundaries you have accepted may have come from other people...

Recently I received a comment online that I was making my new film too fast! haha

Pushing the boundaries may make other people uncomfortable- but thats not your problem.

Pushing the boundaries may make whole groups or organizations uncomfortable to the point where they pretend you and your work don't exist- thats not your problem either.

When I see great work it shakes me up- it makes me feel inadequate and drives me to work harder and improve- if we never admit other things exist that are beyond us- we'll never have to drive to push our limits.

The more you know, the less you know- the more you want to learn and improve.

When it comes to film/art/animation- humans as a whole are fucking weak, lazy, and mediocre- we pat ourselves on the back for minor achievements than pretend like we changed the world by producing derivative work that will be forgotten in twenty years time.

Instead of just doing enough to appease your peers who have settled on mediocrity go further!

Instead of just doing enough to get your head patted by the film/animation/art establishments go further!

You are capable of MORE than you think you are! You can do amazing things if you leave the possibility open and aim for targets no one else can see -and work harder than you've ever worked before- for longer than you have ever worked before.

Humans as a whole are a sleeping giant- we are capable of SO MUCH MORE yet we have accepted the limits the status quo has given us- we have accepted the trinkets it offers us in exchange for our true potential.

Take your potential back! Redefine your limits by pushing the boundaries and you will be shocked at what you're able to do! Your dreams might even come true ^_^

NEVER accept the limits or boundaries placed on you by other people NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE. If you can imagine it and create a plan to accomplish it YOU CAN DO IT.

You can do that and MORE!

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
