My strange brain breakfast

I'm not trying to pass this off as some amazing secret or something but I thought I would share my morning diet/supplement routine that I've done for years-
-----------------
Wake up:

Drink 3 cups of water

Take the following supplements
1- 5 htp- helps increase production of serotonin so it makes you happier
1- Acetyl L-Carnitine + Alpha Lipoic Acid- helps with memory, energy levels
1- GABA- makes you less anxious/mood stabilizer so helps you sit still and work longer
1- N- Acetyl Tyrosine- helps you stay focused/alert
1- Ginkgo Biloba- helps with memory

Make 1 cup plain/unflavored oatmeal with 1 scoop unflavored whey protein-nothing else added

After eating the oatmeal

Have 1.5 cups of fresh ground coffee with 1tsp coconut oil + 1tsp grass-fed unsalted butter

After finishing the coffee

Drink 1.5 liters water
----------------------

This is how I start my 10-15 hour brain taxing work days-

In the middle/later in the day if I feel I need an extra boost of focus I'll take one DMAE- be careful with that stuff though it can cause anxiety as its pretty much natural meth haha so it helps you focus and makes you more alert

The way I look at it- if your a creative person or a coder or anyone that needs to be sharp and focused all day long to get their work done you should do everything you can to make sure you can do your job at a high level for long periods of time if you want to get the most out of yourself.

I'm not making any claims or whatever just wanted to share what I do as it might help someone else do their work better for longer periods of time.

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

So a guy is trying to take credit for my film...

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
