Thanks for your feedback! THis is the new plan for I am Nightmare

Since I won't be able to make the Xmas release date there's no point in me rushing now- I should take my time and make sure I have time to fix things in the film that bug me (I wasn't going to)

AND most importantly I should take the time to properly introduce and promote the film the right way- as I SUCK at doing that-

I'm asking people a lot better than me at all this for advice and I've been advised that I shouldn't release an official trailer until the film is available for sale-

BUT for you pre-order peeps you will get the film as a download as soon as its done regardless of whether the trailer/promo stuff is done yet ^_^

I'm going to sell the film through vhx.tv which I'm really excited about- its going to take some time to design my vhx page and make it look good- don't want to rush through that-

The most important thing is the trailer- I'm NOT going to make it because I'm terrible at presenting my own work- so I'm going to find someone else to create the official trailer so that it will be awesome ^_^ It needs to be presented so that you can show it to anyone and they'll get it and hopefully be compelled to see it-

Through my experience I need to recognize my own limitations- and promoting/marketing is probably the BIGGEST thing holding me back right now

By pushing back the release date I can also make sure the making of material will be complete-

So I apologize for the brief delay in releasing the new film BUT it will allow me to make a better film and present it properly ^_^

Thanks and bestest,

M doTs

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

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
