The Strange School


I've been meaning to create some proper tutorial/educational videos for some time now- I've created tons of tutorials over the years which I threw up on youtube but they were all done really quickly and were not polished at all- thats all changed with the Strange School which I launched today.

Over the years I've been doing freelance work, trading crypto and selling my films to make money- I don't like doing the freelance gigs because of the time and energy they take and I don't like selling my films because it doesn't feel right to try and sell things I created as my art, and trading crypto makes me too nervous haha



Now all my films and music are free as they should be- and I hope the Strange School will make enough money so I don't have to take freelance jobs so I can spend more time on my art- making games, and film/animation stuff-

If I were to have made these Strange School tutorials free they would have sucked because I would have been all lazy about them haha BUT since I designed them as a product to sell I worked really hard to make them awesome. 

So if you are interested in making video games or know someone that might be please send them to thestrangeschool.com

Thank you and I will do my best to continue to create unique things with passion.

  1. Will you make 3d modeling and 3d animation tutorials one day? To be honest if you did I would buy them. I feel that your reputation as a filmaker is stronger than your reputation as a video game creator, and your brand would really carry a 3d modeling/ 3d animation course. Do you ever plan to release one? I still plan to buy the udemy version of your course as soon as I save up enough money, but a 3d modeling/3d animation course would create another item on my wishlist. Just saying.

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
