- And there it is: a
HALF-TERABYTE file. A point that I will be annoyed
with for as long as it remains true: having to
basically make a copy of something for the distributor
at a bitrate that is so much higher than any of the
actual elements in the movie to meet a "standard".
Last time my master file was 20 gigs and I had to
bring the file in and re-render it in a higher setting
(which changes nothing but the size of the file) which
made it over 500gigs. Which then of course means I
have to buy a harddrive just to deliver it. It's
insane, but it's not my distributor's fault, it's what
the streaming services ask for.
-
- This time it felt
a little better... because I shot the bar scenes
(and some other stuff) with a new camera that actually
did shoot at 205 mbps, so my master file was 117 gigs
which means I would've had to buy a harddrive to
deliver it no matter what. But again, it still tweaks
my fucking efficiency brain to have to deliver a file
5 times bigger. Which THEY have to then upload and
deal with. That's why they get the big 20% of 9 cents
when someone views it on Amazon Prime. LMAO. What a
world.
-
- Oh and I also
made a new trailer...
-
-
- In attempting to
be more positive and inspirational I literally forgot
to a) include the distributor info and b) even begin
to tell people what questions are answered and why
they should watch the second part. Duh.
-
- Oh and this won't
be free for prime members...maybe ever. I have to
assume anyone that watches Part 1 is willing to throw
$5 at figuring out how it ends. I gotta hope. I would
really like to actually make money here. I'm handing
people my nervous system. I have to assume that will
be worth something.

- We'll see!!!
