My project: I am going to make a full length animated film on my PC using Bryce4 and more. Hour and a half to two or so. I want it full sized, full screen so that I can burn it to DVD in the not too distant future when DVD-RW become more affordable. I should be nearly finished by then. Yeah, I know the memory req will be GIGAHUGE, but I have close to 50 gigs HD and planning on writing to a bunchload of CD-RWs. For now, I'll be storing the files as individual frames in jpeg format, which is where you start with DVD. I'll also be switching to a Pentium 4, because right now I have an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 700Mhz. And I am not impressed with it. Seemed like my old 266Mhz Pentium Celeron II worked just as fast. I even threw in 256Megs SDRAM. Fast as cetchup. My question: I know motion pictures are usually in 16mm to 35mm, but should I be using Cinemascope? and what resolution and aspects should I use? Any other input is also appreciated.
