Tiny text based news broadcast

Hurry tiny man it's tiny text based news time!

My wife and I made this "Dottir" album a few years ago-



People keep buying it and I'm at a good place with my current game prototype- I never thought I'd be pseudo-coding on paper but that is what I do all day-


The second to last method is all wrong but I fixed it in the code- the code maaaaaaan- the code! I love programming so much 0_0

I finally feel capable coding in Unity now that I have a full bag of tools and I learned a lot about code architecture- My current game prototype is online multiplayer so soon I'll probably post a link here for testing with you people-

So yeah I'm about 6 tracks through a new Dottir album- when I'm making stuff like that I average about two tracks a day- I create all the parts, sequence them, and write the lyrics- then some time soon we'll go into the vocal closet and record the vocals-


The other morning I couldn't sleep so I was just laying in bed thinking about the worst possible predicament a married person with a family could be put in for some reason- probably from all the time I spent on /watchpeopledie- anyway- I came up with this idea that only works as a linear narrative-

So now my mind is all- write the story- animate it- that's how things seem to work- game dev/programming is going good so now be inspired to make a new music album- oh music album is going good now get inspired to write a book or make a new film 0_0

I've learned to take inspiration as I can get it- if I absolutely cannot work on the idea at the time I make sure to write it down/document it so when I'm in a depressive period and feel nothing but agitation I have a pool of ideas to choose from-

If you tend to have up's and down's too- make sure you start and COMMIT to a project while in an up period THEN be a stubborn asshole that possibly cannot admit defeat as when you're in a down period you'll want to quit-

The stubborn/can't lose (to yourself) attitude will get you through the down period and give you a reason to get up in the morning-

Finishing the project will boost you up again so be sure to start another project right away while in this up period- 

Watch the birds way up in the sky- watch the seagulls catch the wind and coast on it- some times there's no wind and they begin to drift downwards BUT if they're high enough in the first place they'll be able to keep flying and not touch down-

That's how to do it- follow the birds-

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
